LCM-X

Good to know before installing

Optional semantic recall (embeddings_enabled, off by default) sends message text to the embedding provider you configure (Voyage via VOYAGE_API_KEY, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a local Ollama), and once enabled new summaries are embedded automatically in the background; in-process FastEmbed keeps it on the machine after a one-time model download. For known cloud providers the provider-bound copy is privacy-transformed by default (LCM_EMBEDDING_PRIVACY_ENABLED=false opts out), while lcm.db keeps the raw text. Every turn (user, assistant and tool output) is stored in plaintext in lcm.db (secret redaction at rest is opt-in), and oversized tool outputs are by default written as plaintext files under HERMES_HOME/lcm-large-outputs and replaced in the model's context by recoverable references. The engine also reads Hermes' state.db read-only for session lineage, reads private AIAgent attributes via the call stack on Hermes builds without subagent hooks, and runs git on its own install directory for lcm_status/lcm_doctor; tiktoken may fetch its BPE file on first use.
