.SYNOPSIS
Native Windows launcher for Hermes WebUI - PowerShell equivalent
of start.sh, bypassing bootstrap.py's platform refusal.
.DESCRIPTION
Mirrors start.sh's discovery: load optional .env, find Python,
locate the hermes-agent install, set sensible env defaults, then
invoke server.py directly. The bootstrap.py path is skipped
because it currently raises on platform.system() == 'Windows';
server.py itself runs cleanly on native Windows.
Assumes Python + hermes-agent + the WebUI Python deps are already
installed - same assumption start.sh makes when invoked outside
a fresh bootstrap. For first-time setup, run bootstrap.py inside
WSL2 once to create the venv, then this script can use that venv.
.PARAMETER Port
TCP port the WebUI binds to. Overrides HERMES_WEBUI_PORT env.
Default: 8787.
.PARAMETER BindHost
Bind address. Overrides HERMES_WEBUI_HOST env.
Default: 127.0.0.1.
.EXAMPLE
.\start.ps1
# Bind to 127.0.0.1:8787, foreground.
.EXAMPLE
.\start.ps1 -Port 9000
# Bind to 127.0.0.1:9000.
.EXAMPLE
$env:HERMES_WEBUI_HOST = '0.0.0.0'
.\start.ps1
# Bind to all interfaces (set a password first via env or Settings).
