Our database and data engineering expert @yoniebans made some major improvements to the way sessions are stored and accessed. This will save something like 20-40% of the disk space used by Hermes Agent to operate, speed up session loading, and overall makes the codebase cleaner, simpler, and better architected! `hermes update` to access early or wait for the next major release :)

@altryne @yoniebans My hermes agent dev skill now for each PR runs a script to randomize the style selection (of 10 that I liked when I tested making a bunch of styles) and then makes an infographic for every PR now
