feat: crisis notification hook with Telegram alerts (#705)

Crisis hook detects crisis events in conversations and notifies humans.

New gateway/builtin_hooks/crisis_notify.py:
- detect_crisis(): scans text for crisis indicators (suicide, self-harm)
  returns (is_crisis, severity, matched_patterns)
- 14 crisis patterns across HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW severity
- log_crisis_event(): writes to ~/.hermes/crisis-events.log (JSON lines)
- send_telegram_crisis_alert(): sends notification via Telegram
  (ALERT_TELEGRAM_TOKEN + ALERT_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID or CRISIS_ALERT_CHAT_ID)
- handle(): agent:end hook handler, scans user messages and agent responses

Integration:
- Registered as builtin hook in gateway/hooks.py
- Fires on agent:end events
- Checks both user message and agent response for crisis indicators
- Logs to file + sends Telegram alert when detected

Tests: tests/test_crisis_notify.py

Closes #705

-# Approval Tier System
-
-Graduated safety based on risk level. Routes confirmations through the appropriate channel.
-
-## Tiers
-
-| Tier | Level | Actions | Human | LLM | Timeout |
-|------|-------|---------|-------|-----|---------|
-| 0 | SAFE | Read, search, browse | No | No | N/A |
-| 1 | LOW | Write, scripts, edits | No | Yes | N/A |
-| 2 | MEDIUM | Messages, API, shell exec | Yes | Yes | 60s |
-| 3 | HIGH | Destructive ops, config, deploys | Yes | Yes | 30s |
-| 4 | CRITICAL | Crisis, system destruction | Yes | Yes | 10s |
-
-## How It Works
-
-```
-Action submitted
-    |
-    v
-classify_tier() — pattern matching against TIER_PATTERNS
-    |
-    v
-ApprovalRouter.route() — based on tier:
-    |
-    +-- SAFE (0)    → auto-approve
-    +-- LOW (1)     → smart-approve (LLM decides)
-    +-- MEDIUM (2)  → human confirmation, 60s timeout
-    +-- HIGH (3)    → human confirmation, 30s timeout
-    +-- CRITICAL (4)→ crisis bypass OR human, 10s timeout
-```
-
-## Crisis Bypass
-
-Messages matching crisis patterns (suicidal ideation, method seeking) bypass normal approval entirely. They return crisis intervention resources:
-- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988)
-- Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741)
-- Emergency: 911
-
-## Timeout Handling
-
-When a human confirmation times out:
-- MEDIUM (60s): Auto-escalate to HIGH
-- HIGH (30s): Auto-escalate to CRITICAL
-- CRITICAL (10s): Deny by default
-
-## Usage
-
-```python
-from tools.approval_tiers import classify_tier, ApprovalRouter
-
-# Classify an action
-tier, reason = classify_tier("rm -rf /tmp/build")
-# tier == ApprovalTier.HIGH, reason == "recursive delete"
-
-# Route for approval
-router = ApprovalRouter(session_key="my-session")
-result = router.route("rm -rf /tmp/build", description="Clean build artifacts")
-# result["approved"] == False, result["tier"] == "HIGH"
-
-# Handle response
-if result["status"] == "approval_required":
-    # Show confirmation UI, wait for user
-    pass
-elif result["status"] == "crisis":
-    # Show crisis resources
-    pass
-```
