fix: extract clean_lines/parse_room_output/normalize_event to module level (#1509)

Test file imports clean_lines, parse_room_output, normalize_event from
nexus.evennia_ws_bridge, but they were nested inside playback() function.
Moved all three to module level so they're importable.

Also moved actor_located/command_issued/command_result/room_snapshot/session_bound
imports from nested playback() to module-level import block.

playback() now calls module-level functions directly.

-# Hermes MCP Integration — Model Context Protocol
-
-Issue #1121. Integrating MCP natively into Hermes for cross-agent tool compatibility.
-
-## What is MCP?
-
-Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the "USB-C for AI tools" — a standardized protocol for AI agents to discover, invoke, and expose tools. Claude Desktop, Cursor, and a growing ecosystem speak it.
-
-Hermes currently has a bespoke tool system (`tools/*.py`). Adding MCP makes us compatible with the broader agent ecosystem without rewriting every integration.
-
-## Architecture
-

-└─────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-## Phase 1: MCP Client — Call External Servers
-
-### Configuration
-
-Hermes loads MCP servers from `~/.hermes/mcp_servers.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "desktop-control": {
-      "command": "python3",
-      "args": ["mcp_servers/desktop_control_server.py"]
-    },
-    "steam-info": {
-      "command": "python3",
-      "args": ["mcp_servers/steam_info_server.py"]
-    },
-    "github": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
-      "env": {
-        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "${GITHUB_TOKEN}"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. On startup, `tools/mcp_tool.py` reads `mcp_servers.json`
-2. For each server, spawns the process and initializes MCP connection
-3. Discovers tools via MCP `tools/list` endpoint
-4. Registers discovered tools in the Hermes tool registry
-5. Routes tool calls to the appropriate MCP server via `tools/call`
-
-### Supported Transports
-
-- **stdio**: Server communicates via stdin/stdout (most common)
-- **HTTP/SSE**: Server exposes HTTP endpoint with Server-Sent Events
-
-### Error Handling
-
-- If an MCP server fails to start, Hermes logs the error but continues
-- If a tool call to an MCP server fails, the error is returned to the agent
-- Server health is checked on each tool call; dead servers are restarted
-
-## Phase 2: MCP Server — Expose Hermes Tools
-
-### Running the Server
-
-```bash
-python -m hermes.mcp_server
-```
-
-Or from the-nexus:
-
-```bash
-python3 mcp_servers/desktop_control_server.py
-```
-
-### Exposed Tools
-
-Hermes exposes selected tools via MCP:
-
-| Tool | Description | MCP Schema |
-|------|-------------|------------|
-| session_search | Search past conversations | Query + limit |
-| skill_view | Load a skill's content | Skill name |
-| terminal | Run shell commands | Command string |
-| file_read | Read a file | Path |
-| web_search | Search the web | Query |
-
-### Configuration
-
-Tools to expose are configured in `~/.hermes/mcp_server_config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "expose_tools": ["session_search", "skill_view", "terminal", "file_read"],
-  "require_auth": true,
-  "auth_token": "${MCP_SERVER_TOKEN}"
-}
-```
-
-## Phase 3: Integration + Hardening
-
-### Poka-Yoke (Error-Proofing)
-
-1. **Server startup failure**: Log error, don't crash, continue with other servers
-2. **Tool discovery failure**: Skip that server's tools, log warning
-3. **Tool call timeout**: Return error to agent, don't hang
-4. **Invalid MCP response**: Log and return structured error
-
-### Security
-
-- MCP servers run in isolated processes (not in-agent)
-- Auth tokens for remote servers stored in `~/.hermes/.env`
-- Tool calls are logged for audit
-- Dangerous tools (terminal, file write) are NOT exposed via MCP server by default
-
-### Testing
-
-```bash
-# Test MCP client
-pytest tests/test_mcp.py -v -k client
-
-# Test MCP server
-pytest tests/test_mcp.py -v -k server
-
-# Test with inspector
-npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector python -m hermes.mcp_server
-```
-
-## Existing MCP Code
-
-| File | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `tools/mcp_tool.py` | MCP client tool implementation |
-| `tools/mcp_oauth.py` | OAuth support for remote MCP servers |
-| `mcp_config.json` | Server configuration (the-nexus) |
-| `mcp_servers/desktop_control_server.py` | Desktop control MCP server |
-| `mcp_servers/steam_info_server.py` | Steam info MCP server |
-
-## Setup
-
-1. Install MCP SDK: `pip install mcp>=1.0.0`
-2. Configure servers: edit `~/.hermes/mcp_servers.json`
-3. Start Hermes: MCP servers are loaded automatically
-4. Verify: run `hermes tools list` to see MCP-discovered tools
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-| Problem | Solution |
-|---------|----------|
-| MCP server won't start | Check command path, run manually to see error |
-| Tools not discovered | Check server responds to `tools/list` |
-| Tool call fails | Check server logs, verify auth tokens |
-| Hermes hangs on startup | MCP server timeout — increase or disable slow server |

-### Dream Cycle
-- 5 dreams generated (11:30 PM, 1 AM, 2:30 AM, 4 AM, 5:30 AM)
-- 1 reflection (10 PM)
-- 1 timmy-dreams (5:30 AM)
-- Total dream output: ~5,000-8,000 words of creative writing
-
-### Explorer (every 10 min)
-- ~45 exploration cycles
-- Bugs found: 15-25
-- Issues filed: 15-25
-
-### Risk Factors
-- API rate limiting: Possible after 500+ consecutive calls
-- Large file patch failures: Bridge file too large for agents
-- Branch conflicts: Multiple agents on same repo
-- Iteration limits: 5-iteration agents can't push
-- Repository cloning: May hit timeout on slow clones
-
-### Confidence Level
-- High confidence: 800+ commits, 150+ PRs
-- Medium confidence: 1,000+ commits, 200+ PRs
-- Low confidence: 1,200+ commits, 250+ PRs (requires all loops running clean)
