Critical Hermes Agent Security Advisory — CVE-2026-71963

Malicious `.git/config` with `core.fsmonitor` can fire when the agent refreshes git status after a user message. Full environment (including provider API keys) is exposed. Affects builds prior to commit f6234d0. Do not open untrusted repo archives. The 0.21.0 tag alone is not proof of the fix.
