Manual Smoke Test Checklist:
1. CLI: Run `hermes`, ask it to `sleep 30` in terminal, type "stop" + Enter.
Expected: command dies within 2s, agent responds to "stop".
2. CLI: Ask it to extract content from 5 URLs, type interrupt mid-way.
Expected: remaining URLs are skipped, partial results returned.
3. Gateway (Telegram): Send a long task, then send "Stop".
Expected: agent stops and responds acknowledging the stop.
4. Gateway (Telegram): Send "Stop" then "Do X instead" rapidly.
Expected: both messages appear as the next prompt (joined by newline).
5. CLI: Start a task that generates 3+ tool calls in one batch.
Type interrupt during the first tool call.
Expected: only 1 tool executes, remaining are skipped.
