feat: Gen 6 — known_issues persistence, simulate_dm_latency, placeholder collision fix

- add_known_issue() / get_known_issues() / clear_known_issues() for cross-generation tracking
- simulate_dm_latency() for offline dm_response_time_ms < 10000 verification
- _pick_placeholder() switched from hash-based to random.choice()
- Docstring corrected: ordered Gen 6→5→4→3→2 with proper attribution
- known_issues exported in get_health_stats() for KG logging

-Zulip platform adapter (Hermes plugin) — Gen 4.
+Zulip platform adapter (Hermes plugin) — Gen 6.
 
 Connects a Hermes agent to Zulip via event queue polling. DMs and @mentions
 are routed to the agent via the Hermes Gateway's handle_message() interface.
 Replies use a placeholder->edit streaming pattern for UX feedback.
 
+Gen 6 Improvements (2026-07-07):
+  1. known_issues persistence — add_known_issue(), get_known_issues(),
+     clear_known_issues() methods. Issues tracked in health stats for
+     external logging to knowledge graph across generations.
+  2. simulate_dm_latency() — offline-verifiable DM processing pipeline
+     timing test. Measures event parse, placeholder pick, auth, dedup,
+     and truncation to verify dm_response_time_ms < 10000 without live Zulip.
+  3. Placeholder collision fix — switched from hash-based pick to
+     random.choice() to avoid identical placeholders on rapid-fire calls.
+
+Gen 5 Improvements (2026-06-29):
+  1. Bot user ID resolution — fetches from /users/me when /register doesn't return it
+  2. Stream subscription auto-fix — ensures bot is subscribed to primary streams
+     on connect, critical for receiving @mentions in stream topics
+
 Gen 4 Improvements (2026-06-27):
   1. HTTP client recreation on reconnect — new httpx.AsyncClient() after queue expiry
      or sustained failures to prevent CLOSE-WAIT socket leaks
