The Hermes adapter can be installed once via Paperclip's adapter
management API and persists on the Docker volume across restarts.
No custom Dockerfile or build step required.
Creates ai/paperclip/ with:
- Dockerfile: extends upstream paperclip image, pre-installs
hermes-paperclip-adapter@0.3.0 npm package as seed data
- docker-entrypoint.sh: seeds the adapter plugin on first boot
if the persistent volume is empty, then runs original startup
This ensures the Hermes adapter is available on first boot without
requiring network access — no npm install needed at runtime. The
adapter persists on the Docker volume across restarts.
