Tier 1 of the hermes out-of-the-box dependency sweep. hermes is a Python/uv app
(requires-python >=3.11,<3.14) whose venvs use --system-site-packages, so system
py311-* pkgs satisfy compiled deps without building.
- ffmpeg: hermes runtime baseline (installer) + voice-transcription/media skills.
- py311-pillow: Pillow is a hermes CORE dependency; the --system-site-packages
venv picks up the prebuilt system pkg (no source build).
- python311 explicit (python3 = 3.11 after the default flip); python312 stays.
- Fix the stale "python312 owns python3" comment.
Covers hermes core + telegram gateway + voice. Tier 2 (discord-voice libsodium/
opus, astro vips, ollama/llama-cpp) pending confirmation of default integrations.
