description: >
  SimpleX Chat gateway adapter for Hermes Agent.
  Connects to a local simplex-chat daemon via WebSocket and relays
  messages between SimpleX contacts/groups and the Hermes agent.
  SimpleX is decentralised and assigns no persistent user IDs —
  every contact is an opaque internal ID generated at connection
  time, making it one of the most private messengers available.
