#162 Hermes interim messages are not delivered to Slack

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: ilyamxx

With “Announce steps” enabled in Agent Barn, Hermes still only sends the final response to Slack.

Observed:

display.tool_progress = all
display.interim_assistant_messages = true
Hermes session logs contain real mid-turn assistant messages before further tool calls.
Those interim messages never appear in Slack.
Final replies are delivered successfully.
Agent Barn communication health shows Slack connected and 100% delivery success, so this does not look like a general Slack delivery problem.

Expected: mid-turn assistant/progress messages should be delivered to Slack when enabled.

Actual: only the final assistant reply is delivered.

This looks like interim/progress events are not being forwarded through the Agent Barn → Slack delivery path.

I think we wanted to make it less chatty as it was a common complaint. We could add an advanced settings to enable that again.
