profiles.list opened every profile state.db as a writable SessionDB, which waits out write-lock patience while that profile's backend is mid-turn. The desktop RPC timed out and Bot Mode's infinite React Query retry kept the sidebar on a spinner. Inspect those DBs read-only and bound roster retries so names still paint.
Bundled plugins
Drop a <name>/plugin.{ts,tsx} here that default-exports a HermesPlugin and
it registers automatically at boot (vite glob in ../contrib/plugins.ts), with
the same inventory + live enable/disable contract as runtime plugins.
Keep this tree for real shipped plugins (and the small authoring fixtures that
dogfood the SDK). One-off demos that rebuild a core chrome piece 1:1 do not
belong here — they double the UI and confuse Settings ▸ Plugins. Publish those
in the companion
hermes-example-plugins
repo instead.
User- and agent-authored plugins load at runtime from
$HERMES_HOME/desktop-plugins/<name>/plugin.js (the disk door) — see the
hermes-desktop-plugins skill.
