feat: add Honcho memory provider with PostgreSQL + pgvector stack

Add Honcho (https://github.com/plastic-labs/honcho) as a self-hosted memory infrastructure for stateful AI agents. Changes: - ai/honcho/Dockerfile: multi-stage build from Honcho GitHub source - ai/honcho/init.sql: CREATE EXTENSION vector for pgvector - ai/compose.yml: add honcho-db (pgvector/pgvector:pg17-trixie) and honcho services with ai_backend/ai_net networking and Traefik labels - build/honcho/config.toml: pre-configured for Ollama embeddings (nomic-embed-text via http://ollama:11434/v1), deriver/summary/dream disabled by default - env/.env.example.honcho: sample env vars (HONCHO_DB_PASSWORD, LLM_OPENAI_API_KEY) Usage: cp env/.env.example.honcho .env # edit secrets mkdir -p /mnt/HoardingCow_docker_data/Honcho cp build/honcho/config.toml /mnt/HoardingCow_docker_data/Honcho/config.toml docker compose -f ai/compose.yml up honcho
fix: add WORKDIR and httpx dependency to Hermes Dockerfile
