🎨 1. Data-Driven Skin Engine Design
The system implements a data-driven theme management system in hermes_cli/skin_engine.py. It loads color schemes from the display.skin setting in config.yaml, dynamically computing and rendering terminal banners and conversation container borders via HSL calculations.

🤩 2. KawaiiSpinner Multi-Expression State Machine
While waiting for the LLM's response, the system renders a KawaiiSpinner on the terminal. This class (located in agent/display.py) works in a multi-threaded loop, switching between animated expressions (such as winks, sparks, wing animations) based on the agent's current action (searching, reading a file, modifying), bringing life to the otherwise dull CLI interaction.
