Memory plugin disabled after update (and the fix)

In v0.22.5 an update can quietly disable a memory plugin that no longer matches expectations and clear `memory.provider`. `hermes doctor` still reports healthy. Official guidance: check `hermes config get plugins.disabled`, re-enable, then re-set the provider. Fix is already merged on main.
