Progress Squash
Collapses carriage-return progress bars (tqdm, git clone --progress and similar) in terminal output to the frame a terminal would show, so the model reads one line instead of every redraw: a 300-step tqdm loop goes from 17,396 characters to about 120. Other text written between redraws, CRLF line endings and output without a carriage return are left as they are.
Good to know before installing
Register() adds one transform_terminal_output hook that rewrites the output string in memory; no tools, network access, subprocesses, files, settings or environment variables.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install progress-squash - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable progress-squash - 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).
