What's New in 1.6.2

Fixes

• No more bogus "missing credentials" banner on Chat. The orange "No AI provider credentials detected" warning was firing on the Chat tab whenever no session was selected, even for users whose credentials were configured and working. Root cause: the preflight check only inspected ~/.hermes/.env and shell environment variables, missing the Credential Pools file at ~/.hermes/auth.json (the in-app flow introduced in 1.6.0) and api_key: fields in config.yaml. The check now covers all four locations Hermes itself reads at runtime, so if you've added credentials via Configure → Credential Pools, the warning stays hidden.

Polish

• Banner subtitle updated to point users at the in-app Credential Pools flow first, rather than prescribing .env edits.
