Hermes CLI now shows live voice transcription in the chat

@HermesAgentTips reported live voice transcription in Hermes Agent so speech is visible in the chat instead of a blank wait. Follow-up: available now via `hermes update` on the CLI only. Desktop app gets it in the next bundled release. Docker users stay on the stable tag; Termux and desktop wait for that bundle.

Why it matters

Voice is how a lot of people actually drive a persistent agent. Knowing the CLI/desktop split avoids a false “it is broken” report.
