Teknium 01214a7f73 feat: dashboard plugin system — extend the web UI with custom tabs
Add a plugin system that lets plugins add new tabs to the dashboard.
Plugins live in ~/.hermes/plugins/<name>/dashboard/ alongside any
existing CLI/gateway plugin code.

Plugin structure:
  plugins/<name>/dashboard/
    manifest.json     # name, label, icon, tab config, entry point
    dist/index.js     # pre-built JS bundle (IIFE, uses SDK globals)
    plugin_api.py     # optional FastAPI router mounted at /api/plugins/<name>/

Backend (hermes_cli/web_server.py):
- Plugin discovery: scans plugins/*/dashboard/manifest.json from user,
  bundled, and project plugin directories
- GET /api/dashboard/plugins — returns discovered plugin manifests
- GET /api/dashboard/plugins/rescan — force re-discovery
- GET /dashboard-plugins/<name>/<path> — serves plugin static assets
  with path traversal protection
- Optional API route mounting: imports plugin_api.py and mounts its
  router under /api/plugins/<name>/
- Plugin API routes bypass session token auth (localhost-only)

Frontend (web/src/plugins/):
- Plugin SDK exposed on window.__HERMES_PLUGIN_SDK__ — provides React,
  hooks, UI components (Card, Badge, Button, etc.), API client,
  fetchJSON, theme/i18n hooks, and utilities
- Plugin registry on window.__HERMES_PLUGINS__.register(name, Component)
- usePlugins() hook: fetches manifests, loads JS/CSS, resolves components
- App.tsx dynamically adds nav items and routes for discovered plugins
- Icon resolution via static map of 20 common Lucide icons (no tree-
  shaking penalty — bundle only +5KB over baseline)

Example plugin (plugins/example-dashboard/):
- Demonstrates SDK usage: Card components, backend API call, SDK reference
- Backend route: GET /api/plugins/example/hello

Tested: plugin discovery, static serving, API routes, path traversal
blocking, unknown plugin 404, bundle size (400KB vs 394KB baseline).

Hermes Agent — Web UI

Browser-based dashboard for managing Hermes Agent configuration, API keys, and monitoring active sessions.

Stack

  • Vite + React 19 + TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS v4 with custom dark theme
  • shadcn/ui-style components (hand-rolled, no CLI dependency)

Development

# Start the backend API server
cd ../
python -m hermes_cli.main web --no-open

# In another terminal, start the Vite dev server (with HMR + API proxy)
cd web/
npm run dev

The Vite dev server proxies /api requests to http://127.0.0.1:9119 (the FastAPI backend).

Build

npm run build

This outputs to ../hermes_cli/web_dist/, which the FastAPI server serves as a static SPA. The built assets are included in the Python package via pyproject.toml package-data.
