Summary
This draft proposes a documented client-side durability pattern for Hermes Agent and other Hindsight integrations that must survive temporary Hindsight outages or client restarts.
It adds only:
hindsight-integrations/hermes-durable-outbox/README.mdThe document describes the contract and validation matrix for a profile-scoped SQLite retain outbox: persist before dispatch, atomic claims, bounded retry, stale-claim recovery, restart replay, stable operation IDs where supported, and explicit at-least-once limitations.
Scope boundary
This PR does not change Hindsight server code, schema, API semantics, extraction, embeddings, reranking, consolidation, recall, or reflect behavior. It does not register a released integration or alter the integration index; it is a reviewable proposal for maintainers to decide whether a common pattern or SDK guidance is useful.
