* docs: stop recommending pip install hermes-agent; point to install script
The install script is the only supported install path (it provisions a
managed, isolated uv environment). Replace bare `pip install hermes-agent`
primary-install recommendations with the curl install script, and rewrite
optional-extra snippets (`pip install "hermes-agent[X]"`) to the managed-env
form `cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e ".[X]"` that matches the
installer and the English quickstart.
Covers English docs + zh-Hans mirrors, the achievements plugin README, and
realigns the zh-Hans quickstart to the English Desktop-installer-first layout
(dropping its stale "Method A — pip (simplest)" section).
* docs: drop pip as a supported install/update method
Removes the 'pip installs' supported-method sections from updating.md and
cli-commands.md (EN + zh-Hans): the curl install script is the only supported
way to install/update the Hermes CLI. The _cmd_update_pip pip/pipx branches
remain in code as an undocumented safety net for users who already have such an
install, but the docs no longer advertise pip as a path.
Also normalizes a bare `pip install -e '.[acp]'` to the managed-env form.
Leaves python-library.md untouched: importing AIAgent as a library dependency
into your own project is a distinct use case where pip is correct.
* docs: finish Automation Blueprints terminology rebrand
Replace leftover "Automation Templates" wording from the Cron Recipes
rebrand, rename the copy-paste cookbook guide to Automation Recipes, and
point the marketing gallery link at the blueprints catalog.

* docs: use Automation Blueprints instead of Recipes in guide
Rename the cookbook guide from automation-recipes to
automation-blueprints so sidebar and copy match the product term.

* docs: rename automation-blueprints-catalog to automation-blueprints
Drop the -catalog suffix from the reference page slug and title, and
move the copy-paste cookbook to automation-blueprint-examples so the
main Automation Blueprints doc is unambiguous.

* feat(skills): add fitness-nutrition skill to optional-skills
Cherry-picked from PR #9177 by @haileymarshall.
Adds a fitness and nutrition skill for gym-goers and health-conscious users:
- Exercise search via wger API (690+ exercises, free, no auth)
- Nutrition lookup via USDA FoodData Central (380K+ foods, DEMO_KEY fallback)
- Offline body composition calculators (BMI, TDEE, 1RM, macros, body fat %)
- Pure stdlib Python, no pip dependencies
Changes from original PR:
- Moved from skills/ to optional-skills/health/ (correct location)
- Fixed BMR formula in FORMULAS.md (removed confusing -5+10, now just +5)
- Fixed author attribution to match PR submitter
- Marked USDA_API_KEY as optional (DEMO_KEY works without signup)
Also adds optional env var support to the skill readiness checker:
- New 'optional: true' field in required_environment_variables entries
- Optional vars are preserved in metadata but don't block skill readiness
- Optional vars skip the CLI capture prompt flow
- Skills with only optional missing vars show as 'available' not 'setup_needed'
* docs: add automation templates gallery and comparison post
- New docs page: guides/automation-templates.md with 15+ ready-to-use
automation recipes covering development workflow, devops, research,
GitHub events, and business operations
- Comparison post (hermes-already-has-routines.md) showing Hermes has
had schedule/webhook/API triggers since March 2026
- Added automation-templates to sidebar navigation
