The `hermes update` command is blocked because it restarts the gateway, which would kill our current session. Let me check the current Hermes version and see if there's a newer release available.
You're on **Hermes Agent v0.11.0 (2026.4.23)** and are **1,114 commits behind** the latest version.
Since `hermes update` would restart the gateway and terminate this session, here are your options:
1. **Update now (session will end)** — I can run it, but you'll be disconnected and need to start a new chat afterward.
2. **Update later manually** — Run `hermes update` yourself in a fresh terminal when you're ready.
3. **Check what's new first** — I can look at recent commits or changelogs before you decide.
Want me to check the recent changes, or should we proceed with the update (knowing this session will die)?

Update completed successfully! Here's what happened:
**Pulled 1,123 new commits** — you were very behind.
**One merge conflict** in `uv.lock` (dependency lock file). Your local changes were stashed safely:
- Stash ref: `7fded6cd4833c5da1f7f301871e8b8f78ebf6ae4`
- Restore later with: `git stash apply 7fded6cd4833c5da1f7f301871e8b8f78ebf6ae4`
**New bundled skills added:**
- `spike`, `kanban-worker`, `kanban-orchestrator`, `sketch`, `comfyui`, `pretext`
**Updated skills:** `subagent-driven-development`, `linear`, `google-workspace`, `himalaya`, `obsidian`, `codex`
**Gateway restarted** — this session is now dead. Start a new chat to continue.
**Post-update tip:** Run `hermes model` in the new session to reselect your provider/model if needed.
