[2026-09-18] Miranda's Hermes plugin install is now a SYMLINK to the svos repo, not a copy

Miranda's Hermes plugin install is now a SYMLINK to the svos repo, not a copy (operator-approved). Verified empirically — is_dir()/exists() are stat-based and follow symlinks — and the copy had ALREADY drifted (README, since 09-15). Pre-restart gate is uv run python scripts/sync_plugin.py --check; hermes plugins list is confirmation-after, never permission-before. Copy kept at ~/backups/svos_miranda-copy-20260918-1444. ⚠ The install now tracks a working tree — an uncommitted edit in svos is what loads at the next restart.
