teknium d999d9876d Enhance async tool execution and error handling in Hermes agent for Atropos integration
- Updated `.gitignore` to exclude `testlogs` directory.
- Refactored `handle_web_function_call` in `model_tools.py` to support running async functions in existing event loops, improving compatibility with Atropos.
- Introduced a thread pool executor in `agent_loop.py` for running synchronous tool calls that internally use `asyncio.run()`, preventing deadlocks.
- Added `ToolError` class to track tool execution errors, enhancing error reporting during agent loops.
- Updated `wandb_log` method in `hermes_base_env.py` to log tool error statistics for better monitoring.
- Implemented patches in `patches.py` to ensure async-safe operation of tools within Atropos's event loop.
- Enhanced `ToolContext` and `terminal_tool.py` to utilize the new async handling, improving overall tool execution reliability.

"""
HermesAgentLoop -- Reusable Multi-Turn Agent Engine
Runs the hermes-agent tool-calling loop using standard OpenAI-spec tool calling.
Works with any server that returns ChatCompletion objects with tool_calls:
- Phase 1: OpenAI server type (VLLM, SGLang, OpenRouter, OpenAI API)
- Phase 2: ManagedServer with client-side tool call parser
The loop passes tools= and checks response.choices[0].message.tool_calls,
identical to hermes-agent's run_agent.py. Tool execution is dispatched via
handle_function_call() from model_tools.py.
