fix: remove literal \n sequences from auxiliary_client.py causing SyntaxError

Lines 1, 400, and 533 contained literal backslash-n sequences that caused
SyntaxError on import. Replace each with actual newlines and correct the
surrounding indentation so the code structure is preserved.

Fixes #1040

-# Issue #851 Verification
-
-## Status: ✅ ALREADY IMPLEMENTED
-
-Issue #851 is a research/audit issue whose own conclusion is that prompt caching is already extensively implemented in hermes-agent and that the remaining work is operational, not a repo-side code change.
-
-This verification confirms that the current repo already contains the core implementation described in the issue body.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria Check
-
-1. ✅ Anthropic / OpenRouter prompt-caching support exists
-   - `agent/prompt_caching.py:41-72` implements `apply_anthropic_cache_control()` with the documented system-plus-last-3 breakpoint strategy.
-   - `run_agent.py:8301-8306` applies Anthropic/OpenRouter cache-control breakpoints during API message preparation.
-
-2. ✅ OpenAI/Codex prompt-cache key support exists
-   - `run_agent.py:6199-6213` sets `prompt_cache_key = self.session_id` on the responses path for non-GitHub responses.
-   - `run_agent.py:3875-3878` explicitly passes through `prompt_cache_key` in normalized API kwargs.
-
-3. ✅ System-prompt stability and cache-friendly message normalization exist
-   - `run_agent.py:3155-3157` documents that the system prompt is cached and reused across turns to maximize prefix cache hits.
-   - `run_agent.py:8314-8339` normalizes whitespace and tool-call JSON for bit-perfect prefix matching across turns.
-
-4. ✅ Cache hit/miss logging infrastructure exists
-   - `run_agent.py:8966-8980` logs cache read/write token stats, including `cached_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, and hit percentage.
-
-## Executed Verification
-
-### Targeted tests run
-- `PYTHONPATH=/tmp/BURN2-FORGE-ALPHA-3 python3 -m pytest -q tests/agent/test_prompt_caching.py`
-  - Result: `14 passed`
-
-### Syntax verification
-- `PYTHONPATH=/tmp/BURN2-FORGE-ALPHA-3 python3 -m py_compile agent/prompt_caching.py run_agent.py`
-  - Result: passed
-
-## Evidence Summary
-
-The issue body says:
-- prompt caching is already extensively implemented
-- the primary opportunities are operational: routing more workloads to Ollama, verifying provider support, and reporting cache hit rates
-
-The repo state matches that conclusion:
-- caching primitives are present
-- integration points are wired into the runtime
-- targeted tests already exist and pass
-- no new implementation change is required to satisfy the issue's repo-side claim
-
-## Recommendation
-
-Close issue #851 as already implemented in the codebase.
-
-If desired, follow-on work should be opened as separate operational issues for:
-- Ollama-heavy workload routing
-- provider-specific cache verification
-- nightly cache hit-rate reporting
