Hermes Agent 0b0671a3e3 fix(mobile): hide .nav-back entirely on mobile instead of hiding just spans 
On mobile (≤640px), .nav-back span{display:none} hid both spans inside
the back link, leaving an empty bordered pill shape visible next to the
logo — the 'broken little thing' users reported seeing to the right of ⚡ Hermes.

Fix: hide .nav-back itself. The hamburger menu provides the back navigation
link, so no information is lost.

Applies to all 13 sub-pages: memory, models, eli5, community, and all 9 compare pages.

<h2 class="section-title">The details</h2>
<p class="section-body">Copilot has grown from an autocomplete tool into a GitHub-native agent platform. The gaps are in scheduling, provider flexibility, and anything outside the GitHub ecosystem.</p>
<div class="narrative">
<h3>Copilot in 2026</h3>
<p>GitHub Copilot has evolved significantly. <strong>Agentic Memory</strong> entered public preview on January 15, 2026, and became default for all users on March 4, 2026 — giving Copilot per-repository context memory that persists across conversations. The <strong>Coding Agent</strong> reached GA in March 2026, enabling autonomous issue-to-PR workflows without a developer in the loop. Copilot now spans the IDE (VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim), the GitHub CLI, github.com, and Copilot Chat, making it a genuine multi-surface platform.</p>
<h3>Memory: repo-scoped with expiry vs. permanent and cross-project</h3>
<p>Copilot's Agentic Memory is <strong>scoped to individual repositories</strong> and has a <strong>28-day expiry</strong> — facts learned in one repo don't carry over to another, and context fades over time. Hermes builds permanent memory that <strong>accumulates indefinitely across every project</strong>. If your agent learns something about your infrastructure, your preferred testing patterns, or your team's conventions, that knowledge stays and deepens — it doesn't expire after a month or reset when you switch repos.</p>
<h3>The GitHub-native advantage: where Copilot is genuinely stronger</h3>
<p>Copilot's Coding Agent is a real competitive advantage for GitHub-centric workflows. It can read an issue, understand the codebase, implement a fix, open a PR, and respond to code review comments — all without a developer manually driving the process. It has <strong>deep integration with GitHub Actions</strong> for CI/CD context, native access to issue metadata, PR diffs, and repository history. If your team lives in GitHub and you want an agent that works natively in that environment, Copilot has built-in context that external tools can only approximate through APIs.</p>
<h3>Scheduling: no time-based triggers</h3>
<p>Copilot's Coding Agent is <strong>issue-driven</strong>, not time-driven. You can't tell Copilot to run a task every morning at 6am, generate a weekly report, or monitor a metric and trigger an action when a threshold is crossed. Hermes has full <strong>cron-based scheduling</strong>: jobs run on whatever time-based schedule you define, with no manual trigger required. For monitoring, reporting, data pipelines, and any automation that needs to run on a clock, Hermes covers ground that Copilot cannot.</p>
<h3>Provider lock-in and cost</h3>
<p>Copilot routes all requests through <strong>GitHub's model infrastructure</strong> — you can choose between Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-5.4, Gemini, and others, but only through GitHub's proxied endpoints. You cannot point Copilot at a local Ollama instance, a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a regional cloud API. Hermes is <strong>fully provider-agnostic</strong>: local models, hosted APIs, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or provider-specific SDKs all work. For teams with cost constraints, data residency requirements, or a preference for specific model providers, this flexibility matters.</p>
