Config architecture: - Add save_config(values, hermes_home) to MemoryProvider ABC - Honcho: writes to $HERMES_HOME/honcho.json (SDK native) - Mem0: writes to $HERMES_HOME/mem0.json - Hindsight: writes to $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json - Holographic: writes to config.yaml under plugins.hermes-memory-store - OpenViking/RetainDB/ByteRover: env-var only (default no-op) Setup wizard (hermes memory setup): - Now calls provider.save_config() for non-secret config - Secrets still go to .env via env vars - Only memory.provider activation key goes to config.yaml Documentation: - README.md for each of the 7 providers in plugins/memory/<name>/ - Requirements, setup (wizard + manual), config reference, tools table - Consistent format across all providers The contract for new memory plugins: - get_config_schema() declares all fields (REQUIRED) - save_config() writes native config (REQUIRED if not env-var-only) - Secrets use env_var field in schema, written to .env by wizard - README.md in the plugin directory
