Hermes SSH Relay

by @PixelRainbowNFT

Some Hermes setups live on a desktop with nothing exposed over HTTP, which normally leaves them unreachable from elsewhere. This one carries the conversation across a Tailscale SSH session instead, so the agent stays put and you still get to talk to it. A stopgap rather than a permanent design.
