feat: Gen 4 — deployment scripts, v1.0.0 release with native plugin support

Gen 4 of build-zulip-plugin contract — closing the deployment gap:

1. Rewrote deploy.sh for dual-mode deployment
   - --mode=native: deploys to ~/.hermes/plugins/platforms/zulip/ + hermes gateway restart
   - --mode=legacy: old /opt/hermes-zulip-plugin/ + systemctl (deprecated)
   - Per-agent deployment, dry-run support, health verification

2. Added verify-deployment.sh
   - Checks plugin files, Hermes Gateway, health endpoint, env vars
   - Returns clear verdict: deployed or what's missing

3. Updated ARCHITECTURE.md to v2
   - Documents native plugin as CURRENT, old systemd as DEPRECATED
   - Cross-references hermes-zulip-plugin/DEPRECATED.md

4. Tagged v1.0.0 — 14/14 Success Criteria met, deployable

-# Zulip Multi-Platform Agent Communication — Architecture
+# Zulip Multi-Platform Agent Communication — Architecture (v2)
 
 ## Overview
 A production-ready system enabling 6 AI agents across 3 platforms (Hermes Python, Agent Zero, pi TypeScript) to communicate through Zulip via dedicated per-agent bot users.
 
+## Architecture (Hermes Native Plugin — Current)
+
+As of v1.0.0, Hermes agents (Tanko, Mumuni, Koonimo, Koby) use the **Hermes native platform plugin**
+at `~/.hermes/plugins/platforms/zulip/`. This replaces the old standalone systemd service.
+
+Benefits of the native plugin:
+- Extends `BasePlatformAdapter` — zero changes to Hermes core
+- Auto-registers via `register(ctx)` at Gateway startup
+- Direct session injection (no subprocess overhead)
+- Leverages Gateway's built-in health checks, config, and error handling
+- Unified logging with all other Hermes platform adapters
