FIG-6221:1

`Hermes Agent` `v0.12.0` adds self-maintaining `Curator` and faster startup

A background Curator now grades, merges, and prunes skills on a 7-day cycle, pushing Hermes closer to self-maintenance. With broader integrations and a ~57% TUI cold-start cut, it looks more usable as a daily agent stack now.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. The release bundles an autonomous hermes curator that ranks usage, archives weak skills, and writes reports to logs/curator/run.json and REPORT.md; skill sprawl gets managed without manual cleanup.
  2. The self-improvement fork moved to a rubric-first flow, prefers updating the actively used skill, inherits live provider/model/credentials, and stays limited to memory plus skills; fewer flaky saves, less agent drift.
  3. LM Studio became a native provider with auth, hermes doctor, reasoning transport, and live /models listing; local-model setups got much less hacky.
  4. ComfyUI v5 and TouchDesigner-MCP are now bundled by default, while Spotify and Google Meet integrations landed too; the default install covers more real workflows out of the box.
