The chat prompt still forbade all cluster access, so Hermes told users
it had no visibility even though cluster_read is live - it now knows it
has a read-only cluster tool (no Secrets/Vault) and should use it rather
than deny. Adds tool/research-conditioned acknowledgement guidance: when
a turn needs a lookup, plan or calculation, open with one short 'on it,
~ETA' line then deliver the full answer; simple questions get no
preamble. In spoken mode that first line is read aloud. Fixes two
pre-existing exact-match test pins the HUX/cluster rollout had grown
(plugins.enabled list; a fieldRef env comprehension).

RBAC: the built-in view ClusterRole (which never includes Secrets, so
Vault-managed material stays structurally invisible) plus a read-only
extra for nodes, namespaces, PVs, storage classes, CRDs, Flux resources
and metrics, bound to the chat service account. Tooling: a cluster-read
plugin registers a GET-only cluster_read tool against the in-cluster
API using the pod's projected token - secrets paths refused in the
handler as well, malformed segments rejected, responses bounded and
stripped of managedFields noise. Classified read_files/low in the HUX
capability map. RBAC applies on push; the tool activates when the pods
next roll (bundled with the round-3 voice build).

Re-applies the staged HUX topology pinned to the reviewed build-21
image (git-2f535d3a...-build-21-release@sha256:e5b9b2fa...), with the
first-activation posture: HUX_FLAGS=hux.foundation only,
HUX_TOOL_ENFORCEMENT=0, and a RollingUpdate partition of 3 so only
hermes-chat-tenant-3 rolls. Adds the /healthz auth bypass on the chat
proxy so HUX-12 health receipts can observe a real 200, points the
evidence policy at it, and makes the delivery flag gate progressive
(foundation first, cards enabled per lifecycle acceptance; unknown
flags still never ship).

Restores the five services/hermes manifests to the live state and
removes the evidence policy/RBAC resources, so pushing this source
chain applies nothing to the cluster beyond the inert hux_mode.py key
in the auto-router ConfigMap (old pods are protected by the plugin's
degrade-to-noop import shim). The activation topology returns as a
dedicated commit pinned to the newly built WebUI digest, per the staged
release sequence in docs/hux/HANDOFF.md.
