Summary

  • split the Hermes slash-command workaround into explicit modern and legacy paths
  • document that Hermes v0.20.1 / v2026.8.13 and newer require only the active-provider startup-load change in hermes_cli/plugins.py
  • warn that replacing the modern lifecycle-aware collector can leave stale commands and skills after provider unload
  • provide version-specific verification commands

Why

Follow-up to #1274. That PR updated the compatibility table but the detailed instructions still unconditionally listed both Hermes files and included the obsolete collector replacement. A modern Hermes user following the full document could therefore undo the lifecycle ownership fix that #1274 preserves.

User impact

Users can now select the correct patch from their installed Hermes version without applying the legacy collector workaround to modern releases.

Validation

  • Hermes plugin manifest validation passed
  • Hermes test suite: 269 passed, 12 skipped
  • git diff --check passed
