fix(cli): flush stdout during agent loop to prevent macOS display freeze (#1624)

* fix: prevent infinite 400 failure loop on context overflow (#1630)

When a gateway session exceeds the model's context window, Anthropic may
return a generic 400 invalid_request_error with just 'Error' as the
message.  This bypassed the phrase-based context-length detection,
causing the agent to treat it as a non-retryable client error.  Worse,
the failed user message was still persisted to the transcript, making
the session even larger on each attempt — creating an infinite loop.

Three-layer fix:

1. run_agent.py — Fallback heuristic: when a 400 error has a very short
   generic message AND the session is large (>40% of context or >80
   messages), treat it as a probable context overflow and trigger
   compression instead of aborting.

2. run_agent.py + gateway/run.py — Don't persist failed messages:
   when the agent returns failed=True before generating any response,
   skip writing the user's message to the transcript/DB. This prevents
   the session from growing on each failure.

3. gateway/run.py — Smarter error messages: detect context-overflow
   failures and suggest /compact or /reset specifically, instead of a
   generic 'try again' that will fail identically.

* fix(skills): detect prompt injection patterns and block cache file reads

Adds two security layers to prevent prompt injection via skills hub
cache files (#1558):

1. read_file: blocks direct reads of ~/.hermes/skills/.hub/ directory
   (index-cache, catalog files). The 3.5MB clawhub_catalog_v1.json
   was the original injection vector — untrusted skill descriptions
   in the catalog contained adversarial text that the model executed.

2. skill_view: warns when skills are loaded from outside the trusted
   ~/.hermes/skills/ directory, and detects common injection patterns
   in skill content ("ignore previous instructions", "<system>", etc.).

* fix(tools): chunk long messages in send_message_tool before dispatch (#1552)

Long messages sent via send_message tool or cron delivery silently
failed when exceeding platform limits. Gateway adapters handle this
via truncate_message(), but the standalone senders in send_message_tool
bypassed that entirely.

- Apply truncate_message() chunking in _send_to_platform() before
  dispatching to individual platform senders
- Remove naive message[i:i+2000] character split in _send_discord()
  in favor of centralized smart splitting
- Attach media files to last chunk only for Telegram
- Add regression tests for chunking and media placement

* fix(approval): show full command in dangerous command approval (#1553)

Previously the command was truncated to 80 chars in CLI (with a
[v]iew full option), 500 chars in Discord embeds, and missing entirely
in Telegram/Slack approval messages. Now the full command is always
displayed everywhere:

- CLI: removed 80-char truncation and [v]iew full menu option
- Gateway (TG/Slack): approval_required message includes full command
  in a code block
- Discord: embed shows full command up to 4096-char limit
- Windows: skip SIGALRM-based test timeout (Unix-only)
- Updated tests: replaced view-flow tests with direct approval tests

* fix(cli): flush stdout during agent loop to prevent macOS display freeze (#1624)

The interrupt polling loop in chat() waited on the queue without
invalidating the prompt_toolkit renderer. On macOS, the StdoutProxy
buffer only flushed on input events, causing the CLI to appear frozen
during tool execution until the user typed a key.

Fix: call _invalidate() on each queue timeout (every ~100ms, throttled
to 150ms) to force the renderer to flush buffered agent output.
