Hermes Labyrinth: plugin for Hermes Agent

Read-only observability dashboard plugin for Hermes Agent that maps journeys, tool calls and failures

What Hermes Labyrinth does

Hermes Labyrinth describes itself as a black-box recorder rather than a chat UI. It reads local Hermes state through Hermes dashboard plugin routes and lists recent CLI, dashboard, gateway, cron and delegated work as a journey index. Selecting a journey opens a map of ordered crossings: prompts, tool calls and results, failures, model switches, subagents, approvals, memory hits, redactions, context compression and cron runs.

An inspector shows input, output, duration, status and evidence for each crossing, and guideposts add generated observations backed by local evidence. Other views cover a skill atlas with shadowed overrides and duplicate diagnostics, a cron gate with next runs and last failures, and a model ferry for provider transitions. The plugin is read-only by design. It never starts, stops or mutates Hermes sessions, and it shows [redaction unavailable] instead of raw text if the Hermes redactor cannot load.
