v0.15.1 Patch Release - Dashboard reload loop hotfix and Docker hardening

What Changed

Critical fix for dashboard infinite-reload loop in loopback mode (Docker, hosted instances); Docker dashboard now requires explicit HERMES_DASHBOARD_INSECURE=1 env var instead of inferring from bind host; MCP bare commands (npx, npm, node) resolve correctly in Docker; Kanban worker SIGTERM termination restored; Skills catalog expanded from 858 to 19,932 entries via sitemap; URL redaction passthrough fixed.

Operator Implication

Critical for Docker deployments: explicit HERMES_DASHBOARD_INSECURE=1 required for insecure binding; existing setups must update env configuration. Dashboard reload loop fix essential for loopback-mode deployments (Docker, hosted instances). MCP command resolution fix improves container compatibility.
