kyleandClaude Sonnet 5.5 d8db0a48f5 Run the whole robot from one launch file and one boot-time unit
hermes_bringup starts the face, camera, face detector and audio levels from one
launch file with their parameters in robot.yaml, each node its own respawned
process, the face first and the others after start_delay. robot.service runs it
at boot, so everything is ROS and the face is up whenever the robot is powered.
Reboot-tested: all services and nodes return by themselves, the face draws at
about 28 s on the boot clock, the mic gain survives, nothing throttles.

Cut the CPU: the camera runs at 15 fps (20% of a core, vs 40% at 30), and the
detector went from 131% to 40% by pinning OpenCV to one thread (its DNN burns 3-4x
its elapsed time across cores), decoding the JPEG at half size, and re-identifying
a tracked face at most once a second. The audio scope is published only while
someone is speaking or listening.

A standalone face unit that skipped `ros2 launch` saved only 3.7 s and was dropped:
the owner prefers everything in ROS and is fine with up to a minute. trim-boot.sh
disables the unused snapd and ModemManager.

# One unit runs the whole robot (face, camera, vision, audio) via the hermes_bringup launch file, so
# the face is up whenever the robot is powered, and everything is ROS. Each node is its own process
# and is respawned by the launch file, so one crash cannot take the others down.
# Replaces the earlier standalone robot-face.service. Run as root from this directory. Re-runnable.
