v0.1.2

What's new in Hermes Browser Extension v0.1.2

This update makes the extension feel more like a real Hermes surface. Connect it to your local Hermes runtime and it syncs the important stuff automatically.

Changed

• Connected runtime sync — Models/providers, sessions, profiles, skills, and capabilities refresh from the local Hermes gateway after connect/save and on side-panel startup.
• Windows setup helper — Builds dist/, opens extension tools, and starts the local pairing/manual setup path.
• Model + session reliability — Tightened refresh behavior so the picker does not silently look empty or fallback-only when the local API comes back online.
• Composer polish — Added more Desktop-style composer controls, including inline send/stop/mic handling and cleaner side-panel structure.
• Safer browser context — Hardened page-context redaction so obvious API keys, bearer tokens, JWTs, private keys, and provider tokens get masked before hitting the agent prompt.
• Voice dictation groundwork — Local transcription route wiring and a visible extension voice page fallback for Chromium side-panel mic permission weirdness.
