nous

Nous Portal (Hermes) provider in Nebula — a single universal text/reasoning LLM node backed by Nous Research's open-weight Hermes models (Hermes-4.3-36B, Hermes-4-70B, Hermes-4-405B, all 128k context), OpenAI-compatible SSE streaming, long-context drafting/summarization/chain-of-thought. Unusual auth — NO env var; the handler reads an OAuth Bearer from ~/.hermes/auth.json. Text-only — no tools, no JSON mode, no Tool Gateway. Activate when the user configures the nous-portal-universal node or asks about Nous Portal / Hermes in Nebula.
