teknium ba19d530ad Update environment configuration and enhance terminal tool integration
- Updated `.env.example` to include new API keys and configuration options for the mini-swe-agent backend, including support for local, Docker, and Modal environments.
- Added `.gitmodules` to include mini-swe-agent as a submodule for easier integration.
- Refactored `mini_swe_runner.py` to use the updated model format and default to OpenRouter for API calls.
- Enhanced `model_tools.py` to support the new terminal tool definitions and ensure compatibility with the mini-swe-agent backend.
- Updated `README.md` to reflect changes in setup instructions and environment variable configurations.
- Improved `terminal_tool.py` to manage execution environments and lifecycle, ensuring proper cleanup and error handling.
- Introduced `terminal_hecate.py` for executing commands on MorphCloud VMs, providing an alternative backend for terminal operations.

Terminal Hecate Tool Module
A terminal tool that executes commands on MorphCloud/Hecate VMs.
Uses E2B-style cloud VMs for execution with automatic lifecycle management.
Features:
- Direct SSH command execution on cloud VMs
- Background task support
- VM lifecycle management with TTL
- Automatic cleanup after inactivity
Usage:
from terminal_hecate import terminal_hecate_tool
# Execute a simple command
result = terminal_hecate_tool("ls -la")
# Execute in background
result = terminal_hecate_tool("python server.py", background=True)

TERMINAL_HECATE_DESCRIPTION = """Execute commands on a secure cloud Linux VM environment (Hecate/MorphCloud).
**Environment:**
- Minimal Debian-based OS with internet access
- Automatic VM lifecycle management (creates on-demand, reuses, cleans up)
- Filesystem is persisted between tool calls but environment variables, venvs, etc are reset.
**Command Execution:**
- Simple commands: Just provide the 'command' parameter
- Background processes: Set 'background': True for servers/long-running tasks
- Command timeout: Optional 'timeout' parameter in seconds
**Examples:**
- Run command: `{"command": "ls -la"}`
- Background task: `{"command": "source path/to/my/venv/bin/activate && python server.py", "background": True}`
- With timeout: `{"command": "long_task.sh", "timeout": 300}`
**Best Practices:**
- Run servers/long processes in background
- Monitor disk usage for large tasks
- Install whatever tools you need with sudo apt-get
- Do not be afraid to run pip with --break-system-packages
**Things to avoid**
- Do NOT use interactive tools such as tmux, vim, nano, python repl - you will get stuck. Even git sometimes becomes interactive if the output is large. If you're not sure pipe to cat.
