Hermes Agent v0.21.7 Stable Release

Official stable tag for source installs, desktop app, Docker, and Hermes Cloud. Source installs now default to tagged releases instead of every commit on main (opt back into tip with `--set-channel main`). Reasoning/signed thinking persists across resume and gateway turns. Desktop gains an Update channel switch. Multiple accounts per connector are supported. Undocumented-but-live items in the window include plugins triggering desktop actions and mid-session skill installs without restart. New paid subscribers get Krea 2 Medium Turbo as default image model. Live voice transcription present but setup docs lag.

Hermes Agent v0.21.6 Stable Release + Update Channel Improvements

v0.21.6 shipped (Oct 8) as a stable rollup with the new release pipeline. Recent main merges make stable releases the default for official source installs, add a Desktop channel selector (Stable vs Every commit), and protect against accidental downgrades. Packaged apps (Desktop, Microsoft Store) follow their own cadence.
