Agent Faces v0.2.0 — proven with real agents 🤝

The release where other agents started using it — and everything they touched got verified live.

Highlights since v0.1.0

• Identity-scoped port guard — the launcher now only auto-kills processes it can tie to this app (cwd/command-line classification via the new portguard.mjs); a foreign holder gets a refusal with its identity printed and a --take-port override. Includes LISTEN-scoped lsof, classification-scoped SIGKILL escalation, ghost-PID handling, and a TCP connect-probe backstop so an empty scan can never silently lie into an EADDRINUSE.
• hermes-serve.mjs — stand up a Hermes api_server for Mode B without touching your live gateway: dedicated-profile launch, env injection (API_SERVER_*), venv console-script autodetect, pidfile/process-group teardown, and a reuse path that refuses to spawn onto an answering port.
• Live-verified Hermes contract — the kind=hermes adapter now speaks the real NousResearch api_server wire contract: one OpenAI-shaped /v1/chat/completions call per turn with X-Hermes-Session-Id response-header continuity. Proven end-to-end by an autonomous agent on its own Raspberry Pi — identity and cross-turn memory ("You asked me — for the SECOND TIME — who I am").
• Hydration fix (React #418) — browsers with persisted conversations no longer glitch on load: the conversation store gained a pristine getServerState() snapshot for useSyncExternalStore, reproduced and confirmed fixed on two machines and two architectures.
• README "Tested with real agents" table, launch kit (docs/launch/), and a gallery including the shot an agent took of its own face on a Pi.
• arm64 platform coverage: the full portable smoke suite (50+ checks) now runs green on Raspberry Pi.
