When WebUI reads shared Hermes Agent state, run the service as a user that can already read that state. For a co-located Hermes Agent service, set user and group to the agent service account; the module only creates the default hermes-webui account and never changes ownership of an existing hermesHome.

Hermes retains context across sessions, runs scheduled jobs while you're offline, and gets smarter about your environment the longer it runs. It uses your existing Hermes agent setup, your existing models, and requires no additional configuration to start.
