3a7e0e7db4 fix: migrate hardcoded ~/.hermes paths to HERMES_HOME resolution (#835)
All checks were successful
Lint / lint (pull_request) Successful in 23s
- tools/session_templates.py: use get_hermes_home() for template dir and state.db
- tools/credential_redact.py: use get_hermes_home() for HERMES_HOME base
- agent/context_budget.py: use get_hermes_home() for checkpoints dir
- tools/crisis_tool.py: use HERMES_HOME env var with fallback for crisis log path
- tools/hardcoded_path_guard.py: add noqa to example docstring lines
- scripts/lint_hardcoded_paths.py: exclude lines already referencing HERMES_HOME

Also fixes a pre-existing SyntaxError in credential_redact.py caused by
raw strings with escaped quotes inside double-quoted literals.
