v1.2 — clarify.
Adds a 5-row side-by-side comparison table to README explaining how hermes-self-evolution differs from Hermes' built-in learning loop.
The two mechanisms are complementary, not redundant:
- Hermes' built-in loop improves the agent in-session (skill creation + improvement during use, persistent user modelling).
hermes-self-evolutionaudits and adjusts the agent between sessions under a formal governance protocol (Constitution + diverse-model Critic + falsifiable predictions).
Triggered by a recurring reader question on the launch tweet — first asked by @nahkhsinad. Embedding the answer in the README means future readers don't have to ask again.
Also softens the safety posture framing for the built-in loop from "None" to "No formal amendment protocol (in-session, LLM-curated)" — it has implicit in-session safety; it just lacks the formal amendment protocol this framework provides.
No code changes — README only.
