Hermes Agent Gains Privacy-Preserving Inference via ZeroSignal Plugin

ZeroSignal is now in the official Hermes Plugin Catalog. It provides encrypted, privacy-preserving inference across 50+ models served by independent operators. No API keys, no accounts, no centralized prompt history. Context is encrypted on-device before leaving the machine.
