Hermes Profile Template 0.3.0

Hermes Profile Template 0.3.0

This release polishes the developer authoring workflow for creating Hermes Agent profile distributions quickly and safely.

Added

• requirements.txt for repeatable Python dependency installation.
• Makefile shortcuts for common authoring tasks:
  • make deps
  • make validate
  • make compile
  • make generate-smoke
  • make smoke
  • make release-check
  • make clean
• docs/profile-distribution-contract.md to clarify what Hermes Agent core owns, what this template owns, and what profile authors own.

Improved

• README positioning now clearly frames this repository as a developer authoring system built on top of Hermes Agent's native profile install, profile update, and profile isolation runtime.
• Generated distributions now include the same requirements.txt, Makefile, and profile distribution contract document.
• CI now installs dependencies from requirements.txt, compiles scripts, and runs the Makefile-backed validation and smoke test flow.
• Release guard now treats requirements.txt, Makefile, and docs/ as release-relevant paths.
