chore: Bump version to 1.5.5 and add release binaries

Ship Hermes v0.9.0 compatibility plus new features (log component
filter, session pill, Fast Mode, Backup/Restore, iMessage, /compress,
Discord threads). README lists both universal and ARM64 downloads.

+## Hermes Version
+
+Targets Hermes v0.9.0 (v2026.4.13). Log lines may carry an optional `[session_id]` tag between the level and logger name — `HermesLogService.parseLine` treats the session tag as an optional capture group, so older untagged lines still parse.
