hermes: add web dashboard service (basic-auth, LAN port 9119)

Add a hermes-dashboard compose service that runs 'hermes dashboard' on
0.0.0.0:9119 with HTTP basic auth. The username + scrypt password hash
live in the git-ignored /home/dank/hermes-data config (plaintext never
stored). A separate container from the Signal gateway, since the gateway
entrypoint does not start the dashboard. Both share the data volume and
are boot-persistent. Docs page + index link added (docs-first contract).

+# Hermes-Dashboard
+
+The Hermes web dashboard is a browser UI for managing the agent. It shows config, API keys, and sessions. It is a management tool. It is not a chat window. Chat happens over Signal or the CLI. See [[Hermes]].
+
+**Host:** Dankclaw — **Port:** `9119` — **URL:** `http://192.168.0.143:9119`
+
+## Facts
+
+| Item | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| Image | `docker.io/nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest` (same as the gateway) |
+| Command | `hermes dashboard --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9119 --no-open --skip-build` |
+| Port | `9119` (published to the LAN) |
+| Auth | HTTP basic auth (username + scrypt password hash) |
+| Data | shares `/home/dank/hermes-data` with the gateway |
+
+## Why a separate container
+
+The gateway container runs `hermes gateway run` (the Signal platform). That entrypoint does not start the dashboard. The dashboard is a separate process. So it runs in its own compose service (`hermes-dashboard`). Both services mount the same data volume. Both restart at boot (`restart: unless-stopped`).
+
+## Authentication
+
+The dashboard refuses to bind to a non-loopback address without an auth provider. There is no unauthenticated public bind. This repo uses basic auth:
+
+- `dashboard.basic_auth.username` and `dashboard.basic_auth.password_hash` live in the git-ignored `/home/dank/hermes-data/config.yaml`.
+- The stored value is a one-way scrypt hash. The plaintext password is never written to a file or the repo.
+- The hash is generated with `plugins.dashboard_auth.basic.hash_password`.
+
+## Access
+
+Open `http://192.168.0.143:9119` in a browser on the LAN. Log in with the configured username and password.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- The dashboard and the gateway share one data volume. A config change made in the dashboard takes effect when the gateway restarts.
+- If the shared password is reused elsewhere, treat it as exposed. Rotate it and regenerate the hash.
+- `--skip-build` uses the prebuilt web assets in the image. Do not remove it unless the assets are rebuilt.
