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-evolution audits 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.
