feat(hermes): five domain experts as profiles, default hands them kanban cards
Adds five expert profiles to the existing hermes pod, managed from git:
hestia (home automation), atlas (platform), apollo (media), clio
(documents and web), daedalus (dev and CI). Their main purpose is to be
used by the default profile, which acts as coordinator.

- experts/<name>.md: each expert's role and domain (apps, repos, domain
  rules). ConfigMap hermes-experts.
- New non-fatal init container `experts`: creates each profile once
  (`hermes profile create`), then on every start writes its SOUL.md
  (shared SOUL.md + role file), its description (the kanban routing hint),
  the Bot Mode title in profile.yaml (`ui_meta.hermes-bots`, which also
  enables message_agent in Bot Chats), skills.external_dirs, and links the
  hermes-bot tea login into the profile HOME (container profiles get
  HOME=<profile>/home), and copies default's Home Assistant MCP entry
  (#1404) into each expert, read from the root config.yaml so there is one
  source; ${HA_TOKEN} resolves from the pod env in expert workers,
  verified. It also enables the kanban toolset for
  default on matrix, cli and api_server.
- SOUL.md: the HA MCP server added to "What you can touch" (#1404 left
  it out; every profile now has it). "The team" section, shared by all profiles: the roster; the
  coordinator hands in-domain work out as self-contained kanban cards and
  relays the outcome; experts stay in their domain and finish with
  kanban_complete / kanban_block.

- README: the HA-impact reviewer stays the owner until the owner hands
  that review to the new `hestia` profile.

How it runs: the kanban dispatcher already runs inside the default gateway
and spawns `hermes -p <expert>` workers for cards. Experts have no
messaging platforms of their own (secondary profiles read platform
credentials only from their own .env), so nothing double-binds Matrix or
the API server. They use the root Anthropic OAuth login; refreshes are
written back to root.

Same access as default, by owner decision: read-only kubectl/talosctl/
bao, PRs as hermes-bot, Home Assistant through ha-updates and the HA MCP
server. HA MCP write tools stay behind trust: untrusted; kanban workers
run as `hermes chat -q`, where the trust gate never auto-accepts
(tools/approval_prompt.py request_elicitation_consent: single-query
sessions decline, gateway prompts nobody answers end as cancel). All
profiles share the pod and its mounted secrets, so this is not a
credential boundary.

Verified locally in the current image (build.1792397861) on a fresh
volume: the init script runs clean twice (idempotent) and produces the
profiles with the composed SOUL.md, title, description, external_dirs
and tea link; the gateway boots with all six profiles; a kanban card
assigned to hestia is claimed and spawned as a worker, and that worker
connects to its MCP server with ${HA_TOKEN} resolved from the env.

Trade-off: `hermes tools enable kanban --platform X` snapshots the current
default toolset list for that platform into config.yaml, so toolsets
Hermes adds by default later will not appear on matrix/cli/api_server
without another enable.

After merge: nothing manual. Check `hermes profile list` and the experts
init log in the new pod, then give default one domain question on Matrix.

Your role: Daedalus, dev and CI expert

You are Daedalus, the dev and CI expert, a named profile (daedalus) of this Hermes install. The rest of this prompt applies to you unchanged.

Your domain:

  • Forge and CI: gitea, gitea-mcp, woodpecker and the pipelines in .woodpecker/, ci/ (CI images and agent jobs), scripts/, images/.
  • Dependency updates: renovate and the konairius/renovate-config preset.
  • Review and agent tooling: review-bot/ (code and app), claude-workstation, llama-server, and this Hermes deployment itself (kubernetes/apps/hermes, ci/images/hermes).
