Teknium ad1bf16f28 chore: remove all remaining mini-swe-agent references
Complete cleanup after dropping the mini-swe-agent submodule (PR #2804):

- Remove MSWEA_SILENT_STARTUP and MSWEA_GLOBAL_CONFIG_DIR env var
  settings from cli.py, run_agent.py, hermes_cli/main.py, doctor.py
- Remove mini-swe-agent health check from hermes doctor
- Remove 'minisweagent' from logger suppression lists
- Remove litellm/typer/platformdirs from requirements.txt
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from install.ps1 (Windows)
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from website docs
- Update all stale comments/docstrings referencing mini-swe-agent
  in terminal_tool.py, tools/__init__.py, code_execution_tool.py,
  environments/README.md, environments/agent_loop.py
- Remove mini_swe_runner from pyproject.toml py-modules
  (still exists as standalone script for RL training use)
- Shrink test_minisweagent_path.py to empty stub

The orphaned mini-swe-agent/ directory on disk needs manual removal:
  rm -rf mini-swe-agent/

# Updating & Uninstalling
## Updating
Update to the latest version with a single command:
```bash
hermes update
```
This pulls the latest code, updates dependencies, and prompts you to configure any new options that were added since your last update.
:::tip
`hermes update` automatically detects new configuration options and prompts you to add them. If you skipped that prompt, you can manually run `hermes config check` to see missing options, then `hermes config migrate` to interactively add them.
:::
### Updating from Messaging Platforms
You can also update directly from Telegram, Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp by sending:
```
/update
```
This pulls the latest code, updates dependencies, and restarts the gateway.
### Manual Update
If you installed manually (not via the quick installer):
```bash
cd /path/to/hermes-agent
export VIRTUAL_ENV="$(pwd)/venv"
# Pull latest code and submodules
git pull origin main
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Reinstall (picks up new dependencies)
uv pip install -e ".[all]"
uv pip install -e "./tinker-atropos"
# Check for new config options
hermes config check
hermes config migrate # Interactively add any missing options
```
---
## Uninstalling
```bash
hermes uninstall
```
The uninstaller gives you the option to keep your configuration files (`~/.hermes/`) for a future reinstall.
### Manual Uninstall
```bash
rm -f ~/.local/bin/hermes
rm -rf /path/to/hermes-agent
rm -rf ~/.hermes # Optional — keep if you plan to reinstall
```
:::info
If you installed the gateway as a system service, stop and disable it first:
```bash
hermes gateway stop
# Linux: systemctl --user disable hermes-gateway
# macOS: launchctl remove ai.hermes.gateway
```
