section, add platform comparison matrix (13 platforms x 7 features)
- Create new Integrations section with hub page, grouping MCP, ACP,
API Server, Honcho, Provider Routing, Fallback Providers
- Extract AI provider content (626 lines) from configuration.md into
dedicated integrations/providers.md — configuration.md drops from
1803 to 1178 lines
- Subcategorize Developer Guide into Architecture, Extending, Internals
- Rename "User Guide" to "Using Hermes" for top-level items

Docusaurus build verified clean (zero broken links/anchors).
Salvage of PR #2173 (hanai) and PR #3432 (timknip).
Injects PATH, VIRTUAL_ENV, and HERMES_HOME into the macOS launchd plist so gateway subprocesses find user-installed tools (node, ffmpeg, etc.). Matches systemd unit parity with venv/bin, node_modules/.bin, and resolved node dir in PATH. Includes 7 new tests and docs updates across 4 pages.

zsh interprets square brackets as glob patterns, so
`pip install hermes-agent[voice]` fails with 'no matches found'.

The standard install already includes MCP via .[all]. For users who
need to add it separately, the correct command is:
cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e ".[mcp]"
The venv is created by uv, so bare 'pip' isn't available. All four
occurrences across 3 docs pages updated.
Expand the MCP feature docs with filtering and capability-aware registration details, add a practical 'Use MCP with Hermes' tutorial, add a config reference page, and wire the new docs into the sidebar and landing page.
The installer already handles full setup (provider config, etc.), so
telling users to run 'hermes setup' post-install is redundant and
confusing. Updated all docs to reflect the correct flow:
1. Run the installer (handles everything including provider setup)
2. Use 'hermes model', 'hermes tools', 'hermes gateway setup' to
reconfigure individual settings later
Files updated:
- README.md: removed setup from quick install & getting started
- installation.md: updated post-install, manual step 9, troubleshooting
- quickstart.md: updated provider section & quick reference table
- cli-commands.md: updated hermes setup description
- faq.md: replaced hermes setup references with specific commands
