Terminal Tool Module

This module provides a single terminal tool using Hecate's VM infrastructure.
It wraps Hecate's functionality to provide a simple interface for executing commands
on Morph VMs with automatic lifecycle management. VMs live for 5 minutes after last use.
Timer resets with each use.

Available tool:
- terminal_tool: Execute commands with optional interactive session support

Usage:
    from terminal_tool import terminal_tool

    # Execute a single command
    result = terminal_tool("ls -la")

    # Execute in an interactive session
    result = terminal_tool("python", input_keys="print('hello')\\nexit()\\n")

# Detailed description for the terminal tool based on Hermes Terminal system prompt
TERMINAL_TOOL_DESCRIPTION = """Execute commands on a secure, persistent Linux VM environment with full interactive application support.

**Environment:** 
- Minimal Debian-based OS with internet access
- Automatic VM lifecycle management (creates on-demand, reuses, cleans up)
- **Full state persistence across tool calls**: current directory (pwd), environment variables, activated virtual environments (conda/venv), running processes, and command history all persist between consecutive tool calls
- Session state managed automatically via tmux

**Command Execution:**
- Simple commands: Just provide the 'command' parameter
- Background processes: Set 'background': True for servers/long-running tasks
- Interactive applications automatically detected and handled

**Interactive Applications (TUIs/Pagers/Prompts):**
When commands enter interactive mode (vim, nano, less, git prompts, package managers, etc.), you'll receive screen content with "frozen" status. This is NORMAL - the session is still active and waiting for input.

**To interact with frozen sessions:**
1. Use 'input_keys' parameter with keystrokes to send
2. System auto-detects and uses the active session
3. Session stays active until application exits

**Special Key Syntax for input_keys:**
- `<ESC>`: Escape key
- `<ENTER>`: Enter/Return  
- `<CTRL+C>`, `<CTRL+D>`, `<CTRL+Z>`: Control combinations
- `<UP>`, `<DOWN>`, `<LEFT>`, `<RIGHT>`: Arrow keys
- `<TAB>`, `<BACKSPACE>`: Tab and Backspace
- `<F1>` through `<F12>`: Function keys
- `<SHIFT+TAB>`: Shift+Tab
- Uppercase letters for Shift+letter (e.g., 'V' for Shift+V)
- Symbols for Shift+number (e.g., '!' for Shift+1, ':' for Shift+;)

**Examples:**
- Start vim: `{"command": "vim file.txt"}`
- Type in vim: `{"input_keys": "iHello World<ESC>"}`  
- Save and quit: `{"input_keys": ":wq<ENTER>"}`
- Navigate in less: `{"input_keys": "j"}`
- Quit less: `{"input_keys": "q"}`

**Best Practices:**
- Run servers/long processes in background with separate tool calls
- Chain multiple foreground commands in single call if needed
- Monitor disk usage for large tasks, clean up to free space
- Test components incrementally with mock inputs
- Install whatever tools needed - full system access provided"""

    Execute a command on a Morph VM with optional interactive session support.
    
    This tool uses Hecate's VM lifecycle management to automatically create

    Args:
        command: The command to execute (optional if continuing existing session)
        input_keys: Keystrokes to send to interactive session (e.g., "hello\\n")

        background: Whether to run the command in the background (default: False) 
        idle_threshold: Seconds to wait for output before considering session idle (default: 5.0)
