Nous Research's Hermes Agent integrates Bitwarden Secrets Manager to retrieve API keys at startup, replacing multiple plaintext credentials in ~/.hermes/.env with a single machine-account token

Bitwarden Secrets Manager | Hermes Agent
Pull API keys from Bitwarden Secrets Manager at process startup instead of storing them in plaintext inside ~/.hermes/.env. One bootstrap secret (a machine-account access token) replaces N per-provider keys, and rotating a credential becomes a single change in the Bitwarden web app.
