feat(secrets): add phase 1 secrets tool and redaction hardening

Implements the first pragmatic slice of issue #3627 / #410:
- add agent-facing  tool with list/check/request/delete/inject
  actions
- reuse existing secure CLI secret capture path via getpass-backed callback
  so secret values never enter model context
- support  as an alias for the existing
   skill frontmatter
- redact execute_code stdout/stderr before returning tool output
- expand redaction patterns for Twilio SIDs and JWTs
- register the new tool in discovery/core toolsets and add regression tests

Gateway DM+delete secret capture remains scoped as follow-up work per the
Phase 1 issue discussion.

-# Hermes Agent v0.7.0 (v2026.4.3)
-
-**Release Date:** April 3, 2026
-
-> The resilience release — pluggable memory providers, credential pool rotation, Camofox anti-detection browser, inline diff previews, gateway hardening across race conditions and approval routing, and deep security fixes across 168 PRs and 46 resolved issues.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Pluggable Memory Provider Interface** — Memory is now an extensible plugin system. Third-party memory backends (Honcho, vector stores, custom DBs) implement a simple provider ABC and register via the plugin system. Built-in memory is the default provider. Honcho integration restored to full parity as the reference plugin with profile-scoped host/peer resolution. ([#4623](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4623), [#4616](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4616), [#4355](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4355))
-
-- **Same-Provider Credential Pools** — Configure multiple API keys for the same provider with automatic rotation. Thread-safe `least_used` strategy distributes load across keys, and 401 failures trigger automatic rotation to the next credential. Set up via the setup wizard or `credential_pool` config. ([#4188](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4188), [#4300](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4300), [#4361](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4361))
-
-- **Camofox Anti-Detection Browser Backend** — New local browser backend using Camoufox for stealth browsing. Persistent sessions with VNC URL discovery for visual debugging, configurable SSRF bypass for local backends, auto-install via `hermes tools`. ([#4008](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4008), [#4419](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4419), [#4292](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4292))
-
-- **Inline Diff Previews** — File write and patch operations now show inline diffs in the tool activity feed, giving you visual confirmation of what changed before the agent moves on. ([#4411](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4411), [#4423](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4423))
-
-- **API Server Session Continuity & Tool Streaming** — The API server (Open WebUI integration) now streams tool progress events in real-time and supports `X-Hermes-Session-Id` headers for persistent sessions across requests. Sessions persist to the shared SessionDB. ([#4092](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4092), [#4478](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4478), [#4802](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4802))
-
-- **ACP: Client-Provided MCP Servers** — Editor integrations (VS Code, Zed, JetBrains) can now register their own MCP servers, which Hermes picks up as additional agent tools. Your editor's MCP ecosystem flows directly into the agent. ([#4705](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4705))
-
-- **Gateway Hardening** — Major stability pass across race conditions, photo media delivery, flood control, stuck sessions, approval routing, and compression death spirals. The gateway is substantially more reliable in production. ([#4727](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4727), [#4750](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4750), [#4798](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4798), [#4557](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4557))
-
-- **Security: Secret Exfiltration Blocking** — Browser URLs and LLM responses are now scanned for secret patterns, blocking exfiltration attempts via URL encoding, base64, or prompt injection. Credential directory protections expanded to `.docker`, `.azure`, `.config/gh`. Execute_code sandbox output is redacted. ([#4483](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4483), [#4360](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4360), [#4305](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4305), [#4327](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4327))

-## 🏗️ Core Agent & Architecture
-
-### Provider & Model Support
-- **Same-provider credential pools** — configure multiple API keys with automatic `least_used` rotation and 401 failover ([#4188](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4188), [#4300](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4300))
-- **Credential pool preserved through smart routing** — pool state survives fallback provider switches and defers eager fallback on 429 ([#4361](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4361))
-- **Per-turn primary runtime restoration** — after fallback provider use, the agent automatically restores the primary provider on the next turn with transport recovery ([#4624](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4624))
-- **`developer` role for GPT-5 and Codex models** — uses OpenAI's recommended system message role for newer models ([#4498](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4498))

-# Hermes Agent v0.8.0 (v2026.4.8)
-
-**Release Date:** April 8, 2026
-
-> The intelligence release — background task auto-notifications, free MiMo v2 Pro on Nous Portal, live model switching across all platforms, self-optimized GPT/Codex guidance, native Google AI Studio, smart inactivity timeouts, approval buttons, MCP OAuth 2.1, and 209 merged PRs with 82 resolved issues.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Background Process Auto-Notifications (`notify_on_complete`)** — Background tasks can now automatically notify the agent when they finish. Start a long-running process (AI model training, test suites, deployments, builds) and the agent gets notified on completion — no polling needed. The agent can keep working on other things and pick up results when they land. ([#5779](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5779))
-
-- **Free Xiaomi MiMo v2 Pro on Nous Portal** — Nous Portal now supports the free-tier Xiaomi MiMo v2 Pro model for auxiliary tasks (compression, vision, summarization), with free-tier model gating and pricing display in model selection. ([#6018](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6018), [#5880](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5880))
-
-- **Live Model Switching (`/model` Command)** — Switch models and providers mid-session from CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, or any gateway platform. Aggregator-aware resolution keeps you on OpenRouter/Nous when possible, with automatic cross-provider fallback when needed. Interactive model pickers on Telegram and Discord with inline buttons. ([#5181](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5181), [#5742](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5742))
-
-- **Self-Optimized GPT/Codex Tool-Use Guidance** — The agent diagnosed and patched 5 failure modes in GPT and Codex tool calling through automated behavioral benchmarking, dramatically improving reliability on OpenAI models. Includes execution discipline guidance and thinking-only prefill continuation for structured reasoning. ([#6120](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6120), [#5414](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5414), [#5931](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5931))
-
-- **Google AI Studio (Gemini) Native Provider** — Direct access to Gemini models through Google's AI Studio API. Includes automatic models.dev registry integration for real-time context length detection across any provider. ([#5577](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5577))
-
-- **Inactivity-Based Agent Timeouts** — Gateway and cron timeouts now track actual tool activity instead of wall-clock time. Long-running tasks that are actively working will never be killed — only truly idle agents time out. ([#5389](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5389), [#5440](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5440))
-
-- **Approval Buttons on Slack & Telegram** — Dangerous command approval via native platform buttons instead of typing `/approve`. Slack gets thread context preservation; Telegram gets emoji reactions for approval status. ([#5890](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5890), [#5975](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5975))
-
-- **MCP OAuth 2.1 PKCE + OSV Malware Scanning** — Full standards-compliant OAuth for MCP server authentication, plus automatic malware scanning of MCP extension packages via the OSV vulnerability database. ([#5420](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5420), [#5305](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5305))
-
-- **Centralized Logging & Config Validation** — Structured logging to `~/.hermes/logs/` (agent.log + errors.log) with the `hermes logs` command for tailing and filtering. Config structure validation catches malformed YAML at startup before it causes cryptic failures. ([#5430](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5430), [#5426](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5426))
-
-- **Plugin System Expansion** — Plugins can now register CLI subcommands, receive request-scoped API hooks with correlation IDs, prompt for required env vars during install, and hook into session lifecycle events (finalize/reset). ([#5295](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5295), [#5427](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5427), [#5470](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5470), [#6129](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6129))
-
-- **Matrix Tier 1 & Platform Hardening** — Matrix gets reactions, read receipts, rich formatting, and room management. Discord adds channel controls and ignored channels. Signal gets full MEDIA: tag delivery. Mattermost gets file attachments. Comprehensive reliability fixes across all platforms. ([#5275](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5275), [#5975](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5975), [#5602](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5602))
-
-- **Security Hardening Pass** — Consolidated SSRF protections, timing attack mitigations, tar traversal prevention, credential leakage guards, cron path traversal hardening, and cross-session isolation. Terminal workdir sanitization across all backends. ([#5944](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5944), [#5613](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5613), [#5629](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5629))

-    Naming note — two distinct concepts, easily confused:
-      max_tokens     = OUTPUT token cap for a single response.
-                       Anthropic's API calls this "max_tokens" but it only
-                       limits the *output*.  Anthropic's own native SDK
-                       renamed it "max_output_tokens" for clarity.
-      context_length = TOTAL context window (input tokens + output tokens).
-                       The API enforces: input_tokens + max_tokens ≤ context_length.
-                       Stored on the ContextCompressor; reduced on overflow errors.
-
-    When *max_tokens* is None the model's native output ceiling is used
-    (e.g. 128K for Opus 4.6, 64K for Sonnet 4.6).
-
-    When *context_length* is provided and the model's native output ceiling
-    exceeds it (e.g. a local endpoint with an 8K window), the output cap is
-    clamped to context_length − 1.  This only kicks in for unusually small
-    context windows; for full-size models the native output cap is always
-    smaller than the context window so no clamping happens.
-    NOTE: this clamping does not account for prompt size — if the prompt is
-    large, Anthropic may still reject the request.  The caller must detect
-    "max_tokens too large given prompt" errors and retry with a smaller cap
-    (see parse_available_output_tokens_from_error + _ephemeral_max_output_tokens).
+    When *max_tokens* is None, the model's native output limit is used
+    (e.g. 128K for Opus 4.6, 64K for Sonnet 4.6).  If *context_length*
+    is provided, the effective limit is clamped so it doesn't exceed
+    the context window.
 
     When *is_oauth* is True, applies Claude Code compatibility transforms:
     system prompt prefix, tool name prefixing, and prompt sanitization.
 
     When *preserve_dots* is True, model name dots are not converted to hyphens
     (for Alibaba/DashScope anthropic-compatible endpoints: qwen3.5-plus).
-
-    When *base_url* points to a third-party Anthropic-compatible endpoint,
-    thinking block signatures are stripped (they are Anthropic-proprietary).

-"""Abstract base class for pluggable memory providers.
-
-Memory providers give the agent persistent recall across sessions. One
-external provider is active at a time alongside the always-on built-in
-memory (MEMORY.md / USER.md). The MemoryManager enforces this limit.
-
-Built-in memory is always active as the first provider and cannot be removed.
-External providers (Honcho, Hindsight, Mem0, etc.) are additive — they never
-disable the built-in store. Only one external provider runs at a time to
-prevent tool schema bloat and conflicting memory backends.
-
-Registration:
-  1. Built-in: BuiltinMemoryProvider — always present, not removable.
-  2. Plugins: Ship in plugins/memory/<name>/, activated by memory.provider config.
-
-Lifecycle (called by MemoryManager, wired in run_agent.py):
-  initialize()          — connect, create resources, warm up
-  system_prompt_block()  — static text for the system prompt
-  prefetch(query)        — background recall before each turn
-  sync_turn(user, asst)  — async write after each turn
-  get_tool_schemas()     — tool schemas to expose to the model
-  handle_tool_call()     — dispatch a tool call
-  shutdown()             — clean exit
-
-Optional hooks (override to opt in):
-  on_turn_start(turn, message, **kwargs) — per-turn tick with runtime context
-  on_session_end(messages)               — end-of-session extraction
-  on_pre_compress(messages) -> str       — extract before context compression
-  on_memory_write(action, target, content) — mirror built-in memory writes
-  on_delegation(task, result, **kwargs)  — parent-side observation of subagent work

-    hermes logs gateway -n 100     # last 100 lines of gateway.log
-    hermes logs --level WARNING    # only WARNING+ lines
-    hermes logs --session abc123   # filter by session ID substring
-    hermes logs --since 1h         # lines from the last hour
