hermes_thermal reads the CPU temperature and throttle flags, publishes /health/*, and at
72 / 77 / 82 C scales the camera, face and detector rates down through their live
parameters, restoring them as it cools one level at a time with a margin and a dwell so it
does not flap. The face and detector gained live parameter callbacks for this, the bridge's
robot://status carries a health block (temperature, level, throttle flags now and since
boot), and a bringup test asserts the guard's normal rates equal the real ones.
Live testing on the robot (forcing 73 / 78 / 85 C and back) caught a bug the unit tests
missed: one logging line whose severity changed between warn and info raised in rclpy and
killed the guard on its first cooling step, and the respawn hid it. Fixed with separate call
sites; the tick now survives any error; a full heat-then-cool test drives the real node, and
a mutation check confirmed it fails on the original bug.
