Subject: [PATCH] feat(cli): implement true-color ANSI support for response
 text

- Added support for true-color ANSI escape codes in the HermesCLI to enhance the visual appearance of streamed content.
- Introduced a fallback mechanism for text color in case of errors while retrieving the color from the active skin.
- Updated the output formatting to include the new text color in both line emissions and buffer flushing.

These changes improve the user experience by ensuring consistent and visually appealing text output in the command-line interface.
