Native Hermes Agent plugin that runs the local Atoll notch monitor for Hermes session and turn status on macOS.

## Good to know before installing

MacOS only. Starts a detached Node daemon on every Hermes session that reads state.db read-only and sends session titles, model/profile/token stats and a ≤96-char redacted preview of your latest request to the third-party Atoll notch app over localhost. hermes notch setup clones and builds the author's Atoll fork (github.com/himanusia/Atoll at a pinned commit, not reviewed here) with Xcode and installs an unnotarized app to ~/Applications. Node deps install via Hermes's npm ci prompt. Run hermes notch stop before removing.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install hermes-atoll
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-atoll
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
