feat: @uncaged/pulse-hermes — watcher + executor adapter (#37)

* feat: @uncaged/pulse-hermes — watcher + executor adapter (closes #35)

New package: @uncaged/pulse-hermes

Watcher (hermes-watcher.ts):
- Reads gateway_state.json for gateway health, active sessions, platform states
- Checks process liveness via PID + pgrep fallback
- Checks cron scheduler liveness
- shouldWake triggers on: gateway death, error state, agent idle transition

Executor (hermes-executor.ts):
- CLI mode: spawns `hermes run` with prompt file
- Supports model override, toolset selection, timeout
- API and Telegram modes stubbed for future implementation

22 tests, all passing.

* fix: biome lint — template literals, unused imports, import order

---------
