Phone Harness Adds Hermes Phone Control

Phone Harness now integrates with Hermes Agent through a plugin that adds a `phone_exec` tool and registers its phone-control skill. Developers can drive real iPhones or Android devices from Hermes using the existing Phone Harness workflow.

// ANALYSIS

This is a meaningful bridge between general-purpose agents and mobile interfaces, pushing computer-use beyond desktops while keeping the integration lightweight.

–`phone_exec` lets Hermes run scripts with phone helpers pre-imported
–Supports iPhone Mirroring, Android adb, and cloud phones through one interface
–Approval hooks flag scripts that access files, imports, eval, or adb shell
–The plugin pins Phone Harness dependencies inside Hermes, avoiding global-install conflicts
–The project remains early-stage, with OCR, authentication, multi-touch, and Face ID limitations
