feat(kanban): durable multi-profile collaboration board (#16081)
New `hermes kanban` CLI subcommand + `/kanban` slash command + skills for
worker and orchestrator profiles. SQLite-backed task board
(~/.hermes/kanban.db) shared across all profiles on the host. Zero
changes to run_agent.py, no new core tools, no tool-schema bloat.

Motivation: delegate_task is a function call — sync fork/join, anonymous
subagent, no resumability, no human-in-the-loop. Kanban is the durable
shape needed for research triage, scheduled ops, digital twins,
engineering pipelines, and fleet work. They coexist (workers may call
delegate_task internally).

What this adds
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py — schema, CAS claim, dependency resolution,
  dispatcher, workspace resolution, worker-context builder.
- hermes_cli/kanban.py — 15-verb CLI surface and shared run_slash()
  entry point used by both CLI and gateway.
- skills/devops/kanban-worker — how a profile should work a claimed task.
- skills/devops/kanban-orchestrator — "you are a dispatcher, not a
  worker" template with anti-temptation rules.
- /kanban slash command wired into cli.py and gateway/run.py. Bypasses
  the running-agent guard (board writes don't touch agent state), so
  /kanban unblock can free a stuck worker mid-conversation.
- Design spec at docs/hermes-kanban-v1-spec.pdf — comparative analysis
  vs Cline Kanban, Paperclip, NanoClaw, Gemini Enterprise; 8 patterns;
  4 user stories; implementation plan; concurrency correctness.
- Docs: website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md, CLI reference
  updated, sidebar entry added.

Architecture highlights
- Three planes: control (user + gateway), state (board + dispatcher),
  execution (pool of profile processes).
- Every worker is a full OS process, spawned as `hermes -p <profile>`.
  No in-process subagent swarms — solves NanoClaw's SDK-lifecycle
  failure class.
- Atomic claim via SQLite CAS in a BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction; stale
  claims reclaimed 15 min after their TTL expires.
- Tenant namespacing via one nullable column — one specialist fleet
  can serve many businesses with data isolation by workspace path.

Tests: 60 targeted tests (schema, CAS atomicity, dependency resolution,
dispatcher, workspace kinds, tenancy, CLI + slash surface). All pass
hermetic via scripts/run_tests.sh.
