Codex Truly
Gives ChatGPT/Codex-subscription models the context window the backend actually accepts instead of the one its catalog advertises. Measured live on 2026-10-14: gpt-6.1-sol advertises 500K, caps at 872K and accepts 919,956 input tokens, while the -900k opt-in variant had silently stopped working because Hermes only raises a legacy 272K advertisement. The plugin reads the live catalog, writes one scoped model_overrides.<provider>.<model_id>.context_window entry per model (a documented step of context resolution, so no core patch), and ships a probe that bisects the API for the true ceiling because the refusal is a late SSE event, not an HTTP error. It also selects core's Codex-backed image provider so image_generate runs on the subscription with no OPENAI_API_KEY.
Good to know before installing
Uses the profile's Codex sign-in through Hermes's credentialed_provider_request (requires_auth: [openai-codex]); the plugin never reads auth.json and never holds a token, and network calls go only to chatgpt.com. Its only writes are scoped model_overrides entries and image_gen.provider (only when unset), through Hermes's atomic config writers; revert removes exactly what it wrote. No telemetry, no background processes, no shell commands, no self-updater. probe spends subscription quota (refused requests are free, accepted ones bill) and is never run automatically. Disclosure — uses the profile's Codex sign-in only through Hermes's credentialed_provider_request (requires_auth: openai-codex) and calls chatgpt.com only; its CLI and the model-callable codex_truly tool write scoped model_overrides context_window entries and image_gen.provider (only when unset) to config.yaml with no approval prompt, and `probe` sends large padding requests that spend subscription quota.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install codex-truly - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable codex-truly - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
