Hermes Agent v0.14.0: SuperGrok OAuth, OpenAI-compatible local proxy, PyPI install

Hermes ships on PyPI, adds xAI Grok through SuperGrok OAuth with grok-4.3 raised to a 1M-token context window, and exposes hermes proxy — an OpenAI-compatible localhost endpoint backed by whichever OAuth subscription you are signed into, so Codex CLI, Aider, Cline and Continue can run on it without an API key. Heavy backends now lazy-install on first use, cutting install size, and cold start drops ~19 seconds.
