Subject: docs(newos4): seed a chatting-with-hermes skill (v4.6.74)

A command that exists but is undocumented might as well not exist: the agent had no way to
learn that `hermes` exists, that `chat` is taken, that replies are asynchronous, or that
the cursor is milliseconds. Skill covers the commands, the chat_hermes tool, the failure
table (401/413/429/503/507), the rules that keep it useful, and how to verify a send.

Seeded from skill-pack-core._buildSkills() so every fresh session gets it; mirrored to
skills/chatting-with-hermes.{md,json} + index.json (19 entries).
