… repo metadata

Replaces the embedded Hermes Agent identity prompt with the Kora skeleton
from the bucket spec, ships SOUL.md as a KR-1 stub at repo root, and
rebrands README + pyproject for the fork. Module paths still say
hermes_cli / hermes_constants / etc. — those rename in ST3.

Primary changes:

- agent/prompt_builder.py L134-142: DEFAULT_AGENT_IDENTITY replaced verbatim
  with the 1017-char Kora skeleton (Architect-of-Will, operator-direct-only,
  IsoKron actor_kind='kora', Role Charter pointer, honest Hermes runtime
  inheritance credit).
- agent/prompt_builder.py L588: PLATFORM_HINTS["webui"] — "Hermes WebUI" →
  "Kora WebUI" (the companion user-facing identity surface for the
  browser dashboard).
- SOUL.md (NEW, repo root): KR-1 stub mirroring DEFAULT_AGENT_IDENTITY so
  an operator who copies it to the profile home does not silently lose
  identity. KR-7 fills with full content + personality modes. Rule-6
  honest label embedded: load_soul_md() still resolves ~/.hermes/SOUL.md;
  ST3 renames the path.
- pyproject.toml: name hermes-agent → kora, description rewritten,
  authors expanded to credit both maintainer and Nous Research upstream,
  [project.urls] added (Homepage/Repository/Upstream). Console scripts
  add kora/kora-agent/kora-acp next to the hermes* BC aliases; ST4
  wraps the legacy hermes* scripts as deprecation shims. Internal
  hermes-agent[<extra>] self-references rewritten to kora[<extra>]
  (required correctness fix — otherwise uv sync resolves the PyPI
  hermes-agent==0.14.0 with python-dotenv==1.2.1 vs our 1.2.2).
- uv.lock: regenerated. Removed hermes-agent v0.14.0, Added kora v0.14.0.
- README.md: surgical rebrand of head (banner alt, H1, badges, tagline)
  and license footer. Middle marketing copy intentionally untouched (KR-7
  refresh). Rule-6 honest label on the banner img tag — KR-7 swaps the
  Hermes artwork.
- .gitignore: + kora.egg-info/ + *.egg-info/ (robust to future renames).

Test fixture updates (data, not behaviour):
- tests/agent/test_system_prompt_restore.py:204 — fixture string
  "You are Hermes Agent.\n" → "You are Kora.\n" (byte-identical-restore
  test; fixture string is arbitrary).
- tests/run_agent/test_run_agent_codex_responses.py (×7) — bare
  "You are Hermes." custom-prompt fixtures → "You are Kora." (sed swap).

Test additions:
- tests/agent/test_kora_identity_kr1.py (NEW): 10 assertions across 4
  test classes — Kora opener, negative-Hermes, Role Charter pointer,
  actor_kind marker, honest inheritance credit, SOUL.md scaffold
  invariants, Kora WebUI hint, length floor.

Deliberately deferred to ST3 / KR-5 / KR-7 (per bucket scope):
- L144-148 HERMES_AGENT_HELP_GUIDANCE — entangled with skill rename (KR-5)
  + CLI command rename (ST3/ST4); deferred.
- L1205-1208 self-help guidance — same shape; deferred.
- L621/L649/L670/L809/L810/L820 process-host strings — bulk s/Hermes/Kora/
  is ST3 territory.
- ~/.hermes path migration — ST3.
- assets/banner.png — KR-7.
- tests/skills/test_openclaw_migration.py:972 — lives in optional-skills;
  KR-5.

Verification:
- Touched-tests serial run: 544 passed / 1 skipped in 145.91s.
- Full suite (xdist): 24,482 passed / 99 failed / 129 skipped in 243.75s
  (vs ST1 baseline 24,471/100/129/229.80s — +11 passed = 10 new ST2
  tests + 1 parametric variance; −1 failed is xdist flake noise).
- ty check: 7,341 diagnostics, identical to ST1 baseline (zero new
  diagnostics from ST2).
- Smoke: python -c "from agent.prompt_builder import DEFAULT_AGENT_IDENTITY;
  print(len(DEFAULT_AGENT_IDENTITY))" → 1017; first line == "You are Kora."
