Add Hermes Agent Bridge community ability

[am423]

What does this Ability do?

Adds community/hermes-agent, a voice bridge that lets an OpenHome speaker delegate tasks to a local Hermes Agent install. It captures the user request, blocks obviously unsafe requests, confirms local-system-changing tasks, invokes hermes chat -q through exec_local_command(), then rewrites the result for short spoken output.

Suggested Trigger Words

• "ask Hermes"
• "run Hermes"
• "Hermes agent"
• "send this to Hermes"

Type

• New community Ability
• Improvement to existing Ability
• Bug fix
• Documentation update

External APIs

• No external APIs called directly by the OpenHome Ability
• Uses external API(s):

Hermes itself may use whichever model provider/tools the user configured locally.

Testing

• Tested in OpenHome Live Editor
• All exit paths tested (said "stop", "exit", etc.)
• Error scenarios covered in code (missing task, local Hermes unavailable, rejected risky requests, local command exceptions)
• Ran python3 validate_ability.py community/hermes-agent/
• Ran python3 -m py_compile community/hermes-agent/main.py
• Ran flake8 community/hermes-agent/main.py --max-line-length=120 --ignore=E501,W503
• Verified changed files are only under community/hermes-agent/

Live Editor testing was not performed from this environment because it requires an OpenHome dashboard/device session.

Checklist

• Files are in community/hermes-agent/
• main.py follows SDK pattern (extends MatchingCapability, has register_capability + call)
• README.md included with description, suggested triggers, and setup
• resume_normal_flow() called on every exit path via finally
• No print() — using editor_logging_handler
• No hardcoded API keys — Hermes/provider credentials stay in the local Hermes install
• No blocked imports (redis, user_config)
• No asyncio.sleep() or asyncio.create_task() — using session_tasks.create() only
• Error handling on all external/local bridge calls

Anything else?

This intentionally follows the contributor guide by adding a community Ability only. It is comparable to the OpenClaw pass-through template but adds availability checks, confirmation gates, shell-safe quoting, response normalization, and voice-focused summarization.
