Release BM (stage-382) — 6-PR full sweep batch

Routine batch covering a runtime adapter slice, a SOUL.md memory panel, a #1855 fast-path fix, a PWA sidebar spinner fix, a /model slash command provider fix, and a contributor contract docs index.

Changed

• PR #2496 by @Michaelyklam (refs #1925) — Route approval and clarify responses through the default-off RuntimeAdapter seam when HERMES_WEBUI_RUNTIME_ADAPTER=legacy-journal is enabled. Default legacy-direct path is unchanged. Stale explicit approval ids are now bounded as not-active instead of falling back to the oldest queued command.

Added

• PR #2500 by @mccxj — Surface SOUL.md (agent persona profile at HERMES_HOME/SOUL.md) as a third section in the Memory panel next to MEMORY.md and USER.md. New GET /api/memory fields (soul, soul_path, soul_mtime) and POST /api/memory/write section="soul" support, with redaction applied. 11 locales updated, new sparkles Lucide icon.

Fixed

• PR #2499 by @franksong2702 — Keep server-idle session rows from inheriting stale local streaming fields during sidebar optimistic merging. Fixes a PWA case where a completed session's sidebar spinner could remain alive after the backend reported no active stream.
• PR #2501 (closes #1855) — Short-circuit the resolve_model_provider stage in POST /api/chat/start (and sibling chat-handler call sites) when the request already carries an explicit (model, model_provider) pair and the model isn't @provider:model-qualified. Catalog rebuilds doing network I/O (custom OpenAI-compat /models, OpenRouter /models, LM Studio probes, credential-pool refresh) had been wedging a single request for ~115 seconds and triggering 502 Proxy Error on default-60s reverse proxies (nginx / Apache / Caddy / Cloudflare). 14 regression tests pin both the fast path and the preserved slow path.
• PR #2504 by @espokaos-ops (closes #2488) — /model <name> slash command now respects the user's active provider preference when the same model id exists across multiple providers, instead of picking the first DOM-order match.

Documentation

• PR #2503 by @franksong2702 (refs #2502) — Add docs/CONTRACTS.md as a public contributor-facing routing index that points UI/UX, runtime/state, and onboarding/setup changes to the relevant public docs before contributors edit code. Adds docs/UIUX-GUIDE.md synthesizing the calm-developer-console UI/UX principles from DESIGN.md / README.md / THEMES.md into one contributor guide. Refreshes README and THEMES.md skin lists to cover all ten built-in skins (catppuccin + nous). Docs-only — no runtime or maintainer-policy changes.

Tests: 5933 passed, 6 skipped, 3 xpassed.
