capsule_vm_kill() and capsule_vm_force_reap() never touched kernel-Hermes:
a dead VM stayed a member of channel 0 and every channel it joined, its
undelivered mail was never released, and anything published to it
afterwards held heat forever. M-B's autonomous events would leak on every
dead subscriber. Captain Bob: "Fix first, own commit."
- sk_hermes_vm_departed(): unsubscribe from every channel, release + pop
the pending queue (heat back to each funder, ledger exact), free the
queue entry. Called from both kill and reap, with a HERMES departure line.
Console evidence identical on amd64/aarch64/riscv64: wa with 2 pending ->
"left 2 channel(s), released 2 pending", gone from .CHANNELS, PUBLISH to
its channel delivers 0; acceptance ledger held=2048 (6144 without the
release). Boot parity/dict_hash unchanged; acceptance passes.
