…r guidance (NousResearch#61181) Libera.Chat has a policy prohibiting LLM-driven autonomous clients. The IRC plugin's documentation and config examples recommended Libera.Chat as the default server, causing users to inadvertently violate network policies. Changes: - Replace all irc.libera.chat example references with irc.example.net - Add prominent warning in the IRC docs about public network policies - Suggest running a local IRCd (e.g. Ergo via Docker) for production - Add warning to the interactive hermes gateway setup flow - Update test fixtures to use irc.example.net instead

Fixes #61181.

All changes are to documentation strings, example strings, and test fixtures — no runtime logic was modified. The IRC plugin continues to function identically regardless of what server the user configures.
