## Summary Implements the Hermes-side retrieval plugin proposed in #796 (as invited — thanks for the quick response!). When Hermes routes traffic through `headroom proxy`, compressed markers are a one-way street: Hermes registers its own tools, so it never gets the `headroom_retrieve` CCR tool that Claude Code receives via MCP injection. In practice the model either re-runs the original command or — observed in the wild — treats `ccr:abc123` as a file path and tries to `cat` it. This plugin uses Hermes's user-plugin system (`~/.hermes/plugins/`) to register a native `headroom_retrieve` tool that calls the proxy's `POST /v1/retrieve` endpoint. ## What's included - `plugins/hermes/headroom_retrieve/` — `plugin.yaml` + `__init__.py` (single-file, httpx, ~100 lines) - `plugins/hermes/README.md` — install steps and proxy-side recommendations ## Design notes - **Both marker formats covered**: Kompress emits `[N items compressed ... hash=KEY]`, SmartCrusher's opaque-blob walker emits `<<ccr:HASH[,KIND,SIZE]>>`. The tool description teaches both and explicitly says markers are NOT file paths; the handler normalizes whole-marker input (`<<ccr:abc,base64,4.5KB>>` → `abc`). - **Re-compression loop guard**: retrieved originals travel back through the proxy on the next request and get re-compressed into a fresh marker, looping forever. README documents `HEADROOM_EXCLUDE_TOOLS=read_file,headroom_retrieve` as the fix (Hermes tool names don't match `DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_TOOLS`, which targets Claude Code's `Read`/`Grep`/...). - **Actionable failure modes**: 404 (TTL expired / proxy restarted) and connection-refused both return guidance to re-run the original command rather than retry. ## Relationship to existing PRs Complementary to #707 / #556 (`headroom wrap hermes`, proxy-side): those launch/route Hermes through the proxy; this gives the agent the retrieval capability once it's routed. Notably #707 disables CCR tool injection in Hermes mode precisely because Hermes must register its own tool — this plugin is that registration. ## Testing Running in production on macOS (headroom 0.23.0, pipx) and Linux (0.22.4, systemd) for a day. Verified: fresh-marker retrieval roundtrip, whole-marker hash normalization (6 input shapes), expired-hash 404 messaging, proxy-down messaging, and end-to-end via live Hermes sessions (fresh ≥500B `read_file` returns original with the documented exclude config).
