docs(hermes): install the adapter from the checkout — hermes-elephant is not on PyPI - #33
Merged

Conversation
…yPI yet The README told people to `pip install hermes-elephant`, which does not resolve: the distribution is built and verified but unpublished. Anyone following it verbatim got "No matching distribution found". Install from the elephant checkout instead, which you need anyway for the service, and target hermes's own venv so the package is already in place if entry-point discovery lands upstream. Switch back to the PyPI form once published. Also drops the stale `pip install -U` reference in the staleness note and gitignores dist/.
