What

Simplify the Hermes Docker setup to use the image's native s6 multi-profile supervision instead of custom entrypoint scripts.

Changes

compose.yml: use command: gateway run (vanilla, same as official docs). Remove HERMES_PROFILES env var — the s6 reconciler reads gateway_state.json from each profile directory and auto-starts those that were running.
Dockerfile: revert the start-hermes.sh COPY line added in the previous fix.
Scripts deleted: patch_tts_tool.py (orphaned), run-multi-gateways.sh (replaced by s6), start-hermes.sh (overengineered workaround).

Why

The official image's s6-overlay already handles per-profile gateways natively:

hermes profile create <name> registers an s6 service slot at /run/service/gateway-<name>/
hermes -p <name> gateway start/stop/restart dispatches to s6-svc
The boot reconciler (02-reconcile-profiles) auto-starts profiles whose gateway_state.json has desired_state: running
s6-supervise provides crash recovery, logging via s6-log, and state persistence

The five profiles (ashley, claire, finn, matt, paul) already exist on disk with desired_state: running — they pick up automatically on container boot.

Before vs After

Before (broken)	After (fixed)	Native (this PR)
`bash → tini -g → entrypoint.sh → exit`	`s6-overlay → start-hermes.sh`	`s6-overlay → gateway run`
SIGTERM crash loop	Works but reinvents the wheel	Clean — uses what the image already provides
Custom scripts	Custom scripts	Zero custom scripts

- Remove patch_tts_tool.py (orphaned)
- Remove run-multi-gateways.sh (replaced by s6 native profile supervision)
- Remove start-hermes.sh (overengineered — the image does this natively)
- compose.yml: command: gateway run, drop HERMES_PROFILES env var
- Dockerfile: revert start-hermes.sh COPY addition

Per-profile gateways are now managed by s6-overlay natively:
profiles with desired_state=running in gateway_state.json are
auto-started by the s6 reconciler on boot.
