fix(gateway): use correct variable for skill slash command task_id

Line 1482 referenced 'session_key' which is not defined until line 1519,
causing a NameError on every skill slash command invocation in the gateway
(e.g. /deploy, /plan-with-skill). The try/except silently swallowed the
error, making all user-defined skill slash commands silently fail.

The correct variable is '_quick_key', defined at line 1292 (same variable
used by the /plan handler on line 1379).

+
+# Sherlock OSINT Username Search
+
+Hunt down social media accounts by username across 400+ social networks using the [Sherlock Project](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock).
+
+## When to Use
+
+- User asks to find accounts associated with a username
+- User wants to check username availability across platforms
+- User is conducting OSINT or reconnaissance research
+- User asks "where is this username registered?" or similar
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Sherlock CLI installed: `pipx install sherlock-project` or `pip install sherlock-project`
+- Alternatively: Docker available (`docker run -it --rm sherlock/sherlock`)
+- Network access to query social platforms
+
+## Procedure
+
+### 1. Check if Sherlock is Installed
+
+**Before doing anything else**, verify sherlock is available:
+
+```bash
+sherlock --version
+```
+
+If the command fails:
+- Offer to install: `pipx install sherlock-project` (recommended) or `pip install sherlock-project`
+- **Do NOT** try multiple installation methods — pick one and proceed
+- If installation fails, inform the user and stop
+
+### 2. Extract Username
+
+**Extract the username directly from the user's message if clearly stated.**
+
+Examples where you should **NOT** use clarify:
+- "Find accounts for nasa" → username is `nasa`
+- "Search for johndoe123" → username is `johndoe123`
+- "Check if alice exists on social media" → username is `alice`
+- "Look up user bob on social networks" → username is `bob`
+
+**Only use clarify if:**
+- Multiple potential usernames mentioned ("search for alice or bob")
+- Ambiguous phrasing ("search for my username" without specifying)
+- No username mentioned at all ("do an OSINT search")
+
+When extracting, take the **exact** username as stated — preserve case, numbers, underscores, etc.
+
+### 3. Build Command
+
+**Default command** (use this unless user specifically requests otherwise):
+```bash
+sherlock --print-found --no-color "<username>" --timeout 90
+```
+
+**Optional flags** (only add if user explicitly requests):
+- `--nsfw` — Include NSFW sites (only if user asks)
+- `--tor` — Route through Tor (only if user asks for anonymity)
+
+**Do NOT ask about options via clarify** — just run the default search. Users can request specific options if needed.
+
+### 4. Execute Search
+
+Run via the `terminal` tool. The command typically takes 30-120 seconds depending on network conditions and site count.
+
+**Example terminal call:**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "sherlock --print-found --no-color \"target_username\"",
+  "timeout": 180
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Parse and Present Results
+
+Sherlock outputs found accounts in a simple format. Parse the output and present:
+
+1. **Summary line:** "Found X accounts for username 'Y'"
+2. **Categorized links:** Group by platform type if helpful (social, professional, forums, etc.)
+3. **Output file location:** Sherlock saves results to `<username>.txt` by default
+
+**Example output parsing:**
+```
+[+] Instagram: https://instagram.com/username
+[+] Twitter: https://twitter.com/username
+[+] GitHub: https://github.com/username
+```
+
+Present findings as clickable links when possible.
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+### No Results Found
+If Sherlock finds no accounts, this is often correct — the username may not be registered on checked platforms. Suggest:
+- Checking spelling/variation
+- Trying similar usernames with `?` wildcard: `sherlock "user?name"`
+- The user may have privacy settings or deleted accounts
+
+### Timeout Issues
+Some sites are slow or block automated requests. Use `--timeout 120` to increase wait time, or `--site` to limit scope.
+
+### Tor Configuration
+`--tor` requires Tor daemon running. If user wants anonymity but Tor isn't available, suggest:
+- Installing Tor service
+- Using `--proxy` with an alternative proxy
+
+### False Positives
+Some sites always return "found" due to their response structure. Cross-reference unexpected results with manual checks.
+
+### Rate Limiting
+Aggressive searches may trigger rate limits. For bulk username searches, add delays between calls or use `--local` with cached data.
+
+## Installation
+
+### pipx (recommended)
+```bash
+pipx install sherlock-project
+```
+
+### pip
+```bash
+pip install sherlock-project
+```
+
+### Docker
+```bash
+docker pull sherlock/sherlock
+docker run -it --rm sherlock/sherlock <username>
+```
+
+### Linux packages
+Available on Debian 13+, Ubuntu 22.10+, Homebrew, Kali, BlackArch.
+
+## Ethical Use
+
+This tool is for legitimate OSINT and research purposes only. Remind users:
+- Only search usernames they own or have permission to investigate
+- Respect platform terms of service
+- Do not use for harassment, stalking, or illegal activities
+- Consider privacy implications before sharing results
+
+## Verification
+
+After running sherlock, verify:
+1. Output lists found sites with URLs
+2. `<username>.txt` file created (default output) if using file output
+3. If `--print-found` used, output should only contain `[+]` lines for matches
+
+## Example Interaction
+
+**User:** "Can you check if the username 'johndoe123' exists on social media?"
+
+**Agent procedure:**
+1. Check `sherlock --version` (verify installed)
+2. Username provided — proceed directly
+3. Run: `sherlock --print-found --no-color "johndoe123" --timeout 90`
+4. Parse output and present links
+
+**Response format:**
+> Found 12 accounts for username 'johndoe123':
+>
+> • https://twitter.com/johndoe123
+> • https://github.com/johndoe123
+> • https://instagram.com/johndoe123
+> • [... additional links]
+>
+> Results saved to: johndoe123.txt
+
+---
+
+**User:** "Search for username 'alice' including NSFW sites"
+
+**Agent procedure:**
+1. Check sherlock installed
+2. Username + NSFW flag both provided
+3. Run: `sherlock --print-found --no-color --nsfw "alice" --timeout 90`
+4. Present results

+
+# inference.sh CLI
+
+Run 150+ AI apps in the cloud with a simple CLI. No GPU required.
+
+All commands use the **terminal tool** to run `infsh` commands.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- User asks to generate images (FLUX, Reve, Seedream, Grok, Gemini image)
+- User asks to generate video (Veo, Wan, Seedance, OmniHuman)
+- User asks about inference.sh or infsh
+- User wants to run AI apps without managing individual provider APIs
+- User asks for AI-powered search (Tavily, Exa)
+- User needs avatar/lipsync generation
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+The `infsh` CLI must be installed and authenticated. Check with:
+
+```bash
+infsh me
+```
+
+If not installed:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh
+infsh login
+```
+
+See `references/authentication.md` for full setup details.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Always Search First
+
+Never guess app names — always search to find the correct app ID:
+
+```bash
+infsh app list --search flux
+infsh app list --search video
+infsh app list --search image
+```
+
+### 2. Run an App
+
+Use the exact app ID from the search results. Always use `--json` for machine-readable output:
+
+```bash
+infsh app run <app-id> --input '{"prompt": "your prompt here"}' --json
+```
+
+### 3. Parse the Output
+
+The JSON output contains URLs to generated media. Present these to the user with `MEDIA:<url>` for inline display.
+
+## Common Commands
+
+### Image Generation
+
+```bash
+# Search for image apps
+infsh app list --search image
+
+# FLUX Dev with LoRA
+infsh app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{"prompt": "sunset over mountains", "num_images": 1}' --json
+
+# Gemini image generation
+infsh app run google/gemini-2-5-flash-image --input '{"prompt": "futuristic city", "num_images": 1}' --json
+
+# Seedream (ByteDance)
+infsh app run bytedance/seedream-5-lite --input '{"prompt": "nature scene"}' --json
+
+# Grok Imagine (xAI)
+infsh app run xai/grok-imagine-image --input '{"prompt": "abstract art"}' --json
+```
+
+### Video Generation
+
+```bash
+# Search for video apps
+infsh app list --search video
+
+# Veo 3.1 (Google)
+infsh app run google/veo-3-1-fast --input '{"prompt": "drone shot of coastline"}' --json
+
+# Seedance (ByteDance)
+infsh app run bytedance/seedance-1-5-pro --input '{"prompt": "dancing figure", "resolution": "1080p"}' --json
+
+# Wan 2.5
+infsh app run falai/wan-2-5 --input '{"prompt": "person walking through city"}' --json
+```
+
+### Local File Uploads
+
+The CLI automatically uploads local files when you provide a path:
+
+```bash
+# Upscale a local image
+infsh app run falai/topaz-image-upscaler --input '{"image": "/path/to/photo.jpg", "upscale_factor": 2}' --json
+
+# Image-to-video from local file
+infsh app run falai/wan-2-5-i2v --input '{"image": "/path/to/image.png", "prompt": "make it move"}' --json
+
+# Avatar with audio
+infsh app run bytedance/omnihuman-1-5 --input '{"audio": "/path/to/audio.mp3", "image": "/path/to/face.jpg"}' --json
+```
+
+### Search & Research
+
+```bash
+infsh app list --search search
+infsh app run tavily/tavily-search --input '{"query": "latest AI news"}' --json
+infsh app run exa/exa-search --input '{"query": "machine learning papers"}' --json
+```
+
+### Other Categories
+
+```bash
+# 3D generation
+infsh app list --search 3d
+
+# Audio / TTS
+infsh app list --search tts
+
+# Twitter/X automation
+infsh app list --search twitter
+```
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+1. **Never guess app IDs** — always run `infsh app list --search <term>` first. App IDs change and new apps are added frequently.
+2. **Always use `--json`** — raw output is hard to parse. The `--json` flag gives structured output with URLs.
+3. **Check authentication** — if commands fail with auth errors, run `infsh login` or verify `INFSH_API_KEY` is set.
+4. **Long-running apps** — video generation can take 30-120 seconds. The terminal tool timeout should be sufficient, but warn the user it may take a moment.
+5. **Input format** — the `--input` flag takes a JSON string. Make sure to properly escape quotes.

+# Running Apps
+
+## Basic Run
+
+```bash
+infsh app run user/app-name --input input.json
+```
+
+## Inline JSON
+
+```bash
+infsh app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{"prompt": "a sunset over mountains"}'
+```
+
+## Version Pinning
+
+```bash
+infsh app run user/app-name@1.0.0 --input input.json
+```
+
+## Local File Uploads
+
+The CLI automatically uploads local files when you provide a file path instead of a URL. Any field that accepts a URL also accepts a local path:
+
+```bash
+# Upscale a local image
+infsh app run falai/topaz-image-upscaler --input '{"image": "/path/to/photo.jpg", "upscale_factor": 2}'
+
+# Image-to-video from local file
+infsh app run falai/wan-2-5-i2v --input '{"image": "./my-image.png", "prompt": "make it move"}'
+
+# Avatar with local audio and image
+infsh app run bytedance/omnihuman-1-5 --input '{"audio": "/path/to/speech.mp3", "image": "/path/to/face.jpg"}'
+
+# Post tweet with local media
+infsh app run x/post-create --input '{"text": "Check this out!", "media": "./screenshot.png"}'
+```
+
+Supported paths:
+- Absolute paths: `/home/user/images/photo.jpg`
+- Relative paths: `./image.png`, `../data/video.mp4`
+- Home directory: `~/Pictures/photo.jpg`
+
+## Generate Sample Input
+
+Before running, generate a sample input file:
+
+```bash
+infsh app sample falai/flux-dev-lora
+```
+
+Save to file:
+
+```bash
+infsh app sample falai/flux-dev-lora --save input.json
+```
+
+Then edit `input.json` and run:
+
+```bash
+infsh app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input input.json
+```
+
+## Workflow Example
+
+### Image Generation with FLUX
+
+```bash
+# 1. Get app details
+infsh app get falai/flux-dev-lora
+
+# 2. Generate sample input
+infsh app sample falai/flux-dev-lora --save input.json
+
+# 3. Edit input.json
+# {
+#   "prompt": "a cat astronaut floating in space",
+#   "num_images": 1,
+#   "image_size": "landscape_16_9"
+# }
+
+# 4. Run
+infsh app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input input.json
+```
+
+### Video Generation with Veo
+
+```bash
+# 1. Generate sample
+infsh app sample google/veo-3-1-fast --save input.json
+
+# 2. Edit prompt
+# {
+#   "prompt": "A drone shot flying over a forest at sunset"
+# }
+
+# 3. Run
+infsh app run google/veo-3-1-fast --input input.json
+```
+
+### Text-to-Speech
+
+```bash
+# Quick inline run
+infsh app run falai/kokoro-tts --input '{"text": "Hello, this is a test."}'
+```
+
+## Task Tracking
+
+When you run an app, the CLI shows the task ID:
+
+```
+Running falai/flux-dev-lora
+Task ID: abc123def456
+```
+
+For long-running tasks, you can check status anytime:
+
+```bash
+# Check task status
+infsh task get abc123def456
+
+# Get result as JSON
+infsh task get abc123def456 --json
+
+# Save result to file
+infsh task get abc123def456 --save result.json
+```
+
+### Run Without Waiting
+
+For very long tasks, run in background:
+
+```bash
+# Submit and return immediately
+infsh app run google/veo-3 --input input.json --no-wait
+
+# Check later
+infsh task get <task-id>
+```
+
+## Output
+
+The CLI returns the app output directly. For file outputs (images, videos, audio), you'll receive URLs to download.
+
+Example output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "images": [
+    {
+      "url": "https://cloud.inference.sh/...",
+      "content_type": "image/png"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Error | Cause | Solution |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| "invalid input" | Schema mismatch | Check `infsh app get` for required fields |
+| "app not found" | Wrong app name | Check `infsh app list --search` |
+| "quota exceeded" | Out of credits | Check account balance |

+file (.hub/index-cache/clawhub_catalog_v1.json) that contained adversarial
+text from a community skill description. The model followed the injected

+
+Root cause: `find` and `grep` don't skip hidden directories like ripgrep
+does by default. This made search_files behavior inconsistent depending
