Drops the daily cron and the upstream-polling decide step. Every version in ci/images/hermes/Containerfile is now an image reference (FROM for nousresearch/hermes-agent, COPY --from for talosctl, kubectl, flux, bao and tea), which Renovate's enabled dockerfile manager updates and digest-pins. A merged Renovate PR pushes to ci/images/hermes/**, the pipeline builds build.<unix-ts>, and Flux image automation rolls it out. No checksums to maintain: the binaries come from digest-pinned images. renovate.json: the hermes Containerfile gets a PR of its own instead of the "CI non-major" group (that group is for changes that never reach the cluster), and nousresearch/hermes-agent is held to v0.x because the retired date-versioned v2026.x tags sort above it. Verified: each COPY --from path exists in the pinned image and the binary runs on the hermes-agent v0.22.2 base. renovate-config-validator 37.440.7 reports only the two pre-existing errors on master (flux/kubernetes.managerFilePatterns).
