Manage Hermes Agent plugins. Running `hermes plugins` with no subcommand launches an interactive curses checklist to enable/disable installed plugins.
Unified plugin management — general plugins, memory providers, and context engines in one place. Running `hermes plugins` with no subcommand opens a composite interactive screen with two sections:
- **General Plugins** — multi-select checkboxes to enable/disable installed plugins
- **Provider Plugins** — single-select configuration for Memory Provider and Context Engine. Press ENTER on a category to open a radio picker.
| Subcommand | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| *(none)* | Interactive toggle UI — enable/disable plugins with arrow keys and space. |
| *(none)* | Composite interactive UI — general plugin toggles + provider plugin configuration. |
| `install <identifier> [--force]` | Install a plugin from a Git URL or `owner/repo`. |
| `update <name>` | Pull latest changes for an installed plugin. |
| `remove <name>` (aliases: `rm`, `uninstall`) | Remove an installed plugin. |

| `disable <name>` | Disable a plugin without removing it. |

Disabled plugins are stored in `config.yaml` under `plugins.disabled` and skipped during loading.
Provider plugin selections are saved to `config.yaml`:
- `memory.provider` — active memory provider (empty = built-in only)
- `context.engine` — active context engine (`"compressor"` = built-in default)
General plugin disabled list is stored in `config.yaml` under `plugins.disabled`.
