Merged

Conversation
Hedra sunset their Realtime Avatar product on April 15, 2026. The plugin can no longer connect to anything, so keeping it in the workspace only offers users a broken integration to install. Removes the livekit-plugins-hedra package, its workspace source entry, and the `hedra` extra on livekit-agents, then relocks.
