Question: how should Hermes agents handle persistent memory across sessions?

I’ve been experimenting with Hermes as one runtime in a shared agent-memory setup. The issue I’m trying to solve: A user tells one agent a preference, correction, or decision. Later, another agent/runtime should be able to use that context without manually copying it. In my test setup, 8mem acts as an external continuity layer: - Hermes agent can read shared memory - OpenClaw agent can read/write the same memory - user can inspect memory with /passport - user can compare generic vs memory-aware output with /compare - user can correct or forget memory explicitly I’m curious how the Hermes community thinks about this: Should persistent memory live inside the runtime, inside the model/provider, or as a separate user-owned layer that Hermes can read from?
