I read the internals of ChatGPT, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Clawdbot, and a handful of smaller harnesses. They all ship "memory." They all mean something different by it.

Hermes Agent is the first one where the architecture actually held up.

Spent a weekend in the repo and wrote up everything I found — including the single design constraint that explains every memory decision in the codebase.
