When a user configures Matrix during `hermes setup`, the setup wizard saved credentials to .env but never installed the required matrix-nio package. The gateway then failed to start with "matrix-nio not installed". This follows the same auto-install pattern already used by Modal and Daytona backends: try to import the package, and if missing, install it via uv pip (or pip fallback). Installs matrix-nio[e2e] when E2EE is enabled, plain matrix-nio otherwise. Also adds the matrix extra to pyproject.toml [all] so that `pip install hermes-agent[all]` includes matrix-nio.

@Gutslabs I think you forgot one line in the beginning of the file "setup.py". without this line I get following error |
