Hermes adds a root-owned, user-immutable /etc/hermes managed scope

What this changes for operators

  • PR #49098 (in v0.17.0 / v2026.6.19) adds a managed /etc/hermes scope: a root-owned, user-immutable layer of config and secrets that wins per-key over a user's own files. It is Hermes's first centralized, OS-backed policy pin, for a tool whose posture had been governs-through-allowlists, not identity services.
  • Operators wanting an OS-enforced policy floor can now pin config and secrets a user cannot override; audit which keys the managed scope wins so credential flow stays legible.
