Greg Gibeau c600fd46bd fix(memory): complete discovery and registration parity for out-of-tree providers
Builds on the three salvaged commits: adds the sources and integration points
they leave out, so a pip-installed memory provider is not a second-class
citizen next to a directory install.

Discovery
- Project-local providers (./.hermes/plugins/<name>/), gated on
  HERMES_ENABLE_PROJECT_PLUGINS exactly as PluginManager gates its own project
  scan. Completes the four sources CONTRIBUTING.md and AGENTS.md already
  promised; memory was the only discovery system missing two of them.
- find_provider_dir() now resolves a package entry point to its directory.
  This is load-bearing: config_schema.py (the dashboard panel) and cli.py (the
  `hermes <provider>` subcommands) are read from disk rather than imported, so
  without a directory a pip-installed provider silently lost both.
- list_memory_provider_names() includes entry-point providers, so they appear
  in the dashboard's memory.provider dropdown.

Resolution stays import-free. hermes_cli.plugins.resolve_module_origin() is
extracted from _resolve_module_source() (added by the salvaged #76567) and
shared, so discovery walks a module's file layout instead of importing it.
find_provider_dir() is called from the dashboard and from argparse setup, long
before the operator has chosen a provider — importing every installed candidate
would execute third-party code on the strength of a package being present.
A test asserts the resolution leaves no side effects and no sys.modules entry.

Registration
- PluginContext gains register_memory_provider(). Memory was the only provider
  category without one; context engine, image gen, video gen, web search,
  browser, TTS, transcription, secret source, dashboard auth and platform all
  have one.
- _ProviderCollector delegates unknown register_* calls to a real
  PluginContext instead of carrying three hand-written no-ops. It silently
  dropped register_tool/register_hook, and had no register_auxiliary_task at
  all — despite PluginContext.register_auxiliary_task documenting a memory
  provider (hindsight's pre-retain dedup) as its worked example. It can no
  longer drift behind PluginContext.
- A raise after register_memory_provider() no longer costs the provider. The
  loader caught it into a debug log, discarded the registered instance, and
  fell through to "instantiate any MemoryProvider subclass" — returning a
  different, unconfigured provider. A silent downgrade that looked like
  success, and the exact outcome of calling register_auxiliary_task.

Activation is unchanged: still gated on memory.provider naming the plugin, and
covered by a test so the real PluginContext cannot start requiring
plugins.enabled — that would break every existing user-installed provider.

Verified end to end against a real third-party provider (kainappsinc/elephant)
installed by pip alone, with no directory copy: it appears in the dropdown,
resolves its directory, loads with its tools, and renders its dashboard panel.

Closes #40101.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
