.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 natively on Windows - same assumption start.sh makes
    when invoked outside a fresh bootstrap. For first-time setup, the
    native Windows path is to install Python 3.11+, then create a
    Windows venv (`python -m venv venv`) and `pip install -r
    requirements.txt` from the hermes-agent root in PowerShell - this
    script then finds `venv\Scripts\python.exe` automatically. A venv
    created inside WSL2 is a Linux virtual environment (`venv/bin/python`)
    and cannot be used by native Windows Python, so the bootstrap.py-
    inside-WSL2 path produces a venv `start.ps1` can't invoke.

.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).
