Closes#77. Users can now type /verbose in the CLI to toggle verbose
mode on or off without restarting. When enabled, full tool call
parameters, results, and debug logs are shown. The agent's
verbose_logging and quiet_mode flags are updated live, and Python
logging levels are reconfigured accordingly.

Opt-in persistent cross-session user modeling via Honcho. Reads
~/.honcho/config.json as single source of truth (shared with
Claude Code, Cursor, and other Honcho-enabled tools). Zero impact
when disabled or unconfigured.
- honcho_integration/ package (client, session manager, peer resolution)
- Host-based config resolution matching claude-honcho/cursor-honcho pattern
- Prefetch user context into system prompt per conversation turn
- Sync user/assistant messages to Honcho after each exchange
- query_user_context tool for mid-conversation dialectic reasoning
- Gated activation: requires ~/.honcho/config.json with enabled=true
show_config() always checked cli-config.yaml in the project directory,
but load_cli_config() first looks at ~/.hermes/config.yaml. When the
user config existed, /config would display "cli-config.yaml (not found)"
even though configuration was loaded successfully from ~/.hermes/.
Use the same lookup order as load_cli_config and display the actual
resolved path.
max_turns used 60 as both the default and the sentinel to detect
whether the user passed the flag. This meant `--max-turns 60` was
indistinguishable from "not passed", so the env var
HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS would silently override the explicit CLI value.
Change the default to None so any user-supplied value takes priority.
The _on_text_changed handler collapsed buffer contents into a file
reference whenever the buffer had 5+ newlines, regardless of how
those lines were entered. This meant manually typing with Alt+Enter
would trigger the paste heuristic and silently replace the user's
carefully typed input.
Track the previous buffer length and only treat a change as a paste
when more than one character is added at once (real pastes insert many
characters in a single event, while typing adds one at a time).
load_cli_config() supports both string and dict formats for the model
key (e.g. `model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4"`), but save_config_value()
assumed all intermediate keys are dicts. When the config file used the
string format, running `/model <name>` would crash with TypeError:
'str' object does not support item assignment.
Add an isinstance check so non-dict values are replaced with a fresh
dict before descending.
- Updated the description extraction logic to split on ". " (period+space) to avoid breaking on abbreviations like "e.g." or version numbers.
- Changed the method to prioritize the first line of the description, ensuring more relevant information is captured for display.
Load ~/.hermes/.env first with project root as dev fallback, and remove
redundant second load_dotenv call inside load_cli_config(). Also sets
MSWEA_GLOBAL_CONFIG_DIR so mini-swe-agent shares the same config.
