feat: add ollama as first-class provider for local model inference (#169)

Add 'ollama' as a recognized inference provider so local models (Gemma4,
Hermes3, Hermes4) can run through the agent harness without falling back
to OpenRouter.

Changes:
- hermes_cli/auth.py: Add ollama to PROVIDER_REGISTRY with
  base_url=http://localhost:11434/v1, dummy API key fallback (ollama
  needs no auth), remove 'ollama' -> 'custom' alias
- hermes_cli/main.py: Add 'ollama' to --provider choices
- hermes_cli/models.py: Add ollama model catalog (gemma4, hermes3,
  hermes4, llama3.1, qwen2.5-coder, etc.), label, and provider order
- hermes_cli/providers.py: Add HermesOverlay for ollama, remove
  'ollama' -> 'ollama-cloud' alias

Usage:
  hermes chat -m gemma4 --provider ollama
  hermes --profile gemma4-local chat -q 'hello'

Ollama exposes an OpenAI-compatible API at localhost:11434/v1.
No API key required (dummy 'ollama' token used for credential checks).
Override with OLLAMA_BASE_URL or OLLAMA_API_KEY env vars.

Closes #169

-title: Gitea Workflow Automation
-description: Automate Gitea issues, PRs, and repository workflows via the API for forge CI and backlog tracking.
-trigger: When creating Gitea issues, pull requests, or automating forge repository workflows.
----
-
-# Gitea Workflow Automation
-
-## Trigger
-Use this skill when automating Gitea operations: creating issues, opening PRs, checking repository state, or integrating Gitea into CI/backlog workflows.
-
-## Prerequisites
-- `GITEA_URL` environment variable set (e.g., `https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com`)
-- `GITEA_TOKEN` environment variable with a valid API token
-- `GITEA_USER` or explicit owner/org name
-- `curl` and `jq` available in the environment
-
-## Step-by-Step Workflow
-
-### 1. Verify Environment
-```bash
-: "${GITEA_URL?}" "${GITEA_TOKEN?}" "${GITEA_USER?}"
-echo "Gitea env OK"
-```
-
-### 2. List Issues in a Repository
-```bash
-curl -s -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
-  "${GITEA_URL}/api/v1/repos/${OWNER}/${REPO}/issues?state=open&limit=50" | jq '.[] | {number, title, state}'
-```
-
-### 3. Create an Issue
-```bash
-curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  "${GITEA_URL}/api/v1/repos/${OWNER}/${REPO}/issues" \
-  -d "{\"title\":\"${TITLE}\",\"body\":\"${BODY}\",\"assignees\":[\"${ASSIGNEE}\"]}
-```
-- Escape newlines in `BODY` if passing inline; prefer a JSON file for multi-line bodies.
-
-### 4. Create a Pull Request
-```bash
-curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  "${GITEA_URL}/api/v1/repos/${OWNER}/${REPO}/pulls" \
-  -d "{\"title\":\"${TITLE}\",\"body\":\"${BODY}\",\"head\":\"${BRANCH}\",\"base\":\"${BASE_BRANCH}\"}"
-```
-
-### 5. Check PR Status / Diff
-```bash
-curl -s -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
-  "${GITEA_URL}/api/v1/repos/${OWNER}/${REPO}/pulls/${PR_NUMBER}" | jq '{number, title, state, mergeable}'
-```
-
-### 6. Push Code Before Opening PR
-```bash
-git checkout -b "${BRANCH}"
-git add .
-git commit -m "${COMMIT_MSG}"
-git push origin "${BRANCH}"
-```
-
-### 7. Add Comments to Issues/PRs
-```bash
-curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  "${GITEA_URL}/api/v1/repos/${OWNER}/${REPO}/issues/${NUMBER}/comments" \
-  -d "{\"body\":\"${COMMENT_BODY}\"}"
-```
-
-## Verification Checklist
-- [ ] Environment variables are exported and non-empty
-- [ ] API responses are parsed with `jq` to confirm success
-- [ ] Issue/PR numbers are captured from the JSON response for cross-linking
-- [ ] Branch exists on remote before creating a PR
-- [ ] Multi-line bodies are written to a temp JSON file to avoid escaping hell
-
-## Pitfalls
-- **Trailing slashes in `GITEA_URL`:** Ensure `GITEA_URL` does not end with `/` or double slashes break URLs.
-- **Branch not pushed:** Creating a PR for a local-only branch returns 422.
-- **Escape hell:** For multi-line issue/PR bodies, write JSON to a file with `cat <<EOF > /tmp/payload.json` and pass `@/tmp/payload.json` to curl instead of inline strings.
-- **Token scope:** If operations fail with 403, verify the token has `repo` or `write:issue` scope.
-- **Pagination:** Default limit is 30 issues; use `?limit=100` or paginate with `page=` for large backlogs.
-
-## Example: Full Issue Creation with File Body
-```bash
-cat <<'EOF' > /tmp/issue.json
-{
-  "title": "[Bezalel] Forge Health Check",
-  "body": "Build a diagnostic scanner for artifact integrity and permissions.\n\n- Detect .pyc without .py source\n- Detect world-readable sensitive files\n- Output JSON for CI consumption",
-  "assignees": ["bezalel"],
-  "labels": ["enhancement", "security"]
-}
-EOF
-curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  "${GITEA_URL}/api/v1/repos/Timmy_Foundation/hermes-agent/issues" \
-  -d @/tmp/issue.json | jq '.number'
-```
