feat(session): inject Discord IDs block when discord tool is loaded

When DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN is set — meaning the discord tool actually
loads — emit a dedicated IDs block in the session context prompt so
the agent can call ``fetch_messages``, ``pin_message``, etc. with
real identifiers instead of probing.

Currently only ``thread_id`` was exposed as a raw ID (via the
``description`` string).  The agent in a Discord thread had to guess
that the thread ID doubles as a channel ID for the REST API (it
does), and it had no way to reference the parent channel, the guild,
or the triggering message at all.

The block adapts to context:

  - Thread:     guild / parent channel / thread / message
  - Channel:    guild / channel / message
  - (DM has no guild/channel IDs worth listing; only message)

Discord isn't in _PII_SAFE_PLATFORMS, so IDs ship unredacted.

-### TUI in the Dashboard (`hermes dashboard` → `/chat`)
-
-The dashboard embeds the real `hermes --tui` — **not** a rewrite.  See `hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` + the `@app.websocket("/api/pty")` endpoint in `hermes_cli/web_server.py`.
-
-- Browser loads `web/src/pages/ChatPage.tsx`, which mounts xterm.js's `Terminal` with the WebGL renderer, `@xterm/addon-fit` for container-driven resize, and `@xterm/addon-unicode11` for modern wide-character widths.
-- `/api/pty?token=…` upgrades to a WebSocket; auth uses the same ephemeral `_SESSION_TOKEN` as REST, via query param (browsers can't set `Authorization` on WS upgrade).
-- The server spawns whatever `hermes --tui` would spawn, through `ptyprocess` (POSIX PTY — WSL works, native Windows does not).
-- Frames: raw PTY bytes each direction; resize via `\x1b[RESIZE:<cols>;<rows>]` intercepted on the server and applied with `TIOCSWINSZ`.
-
-**Do not re-implement the primary chat experience in React.** The main transcript, composer/input flow (including slash-command behavior), and PTY-backed terminal belong to the embedded `hermes --tui` — anything new you add to Ink shows up in the dashboard automatically. If you find yourself rebuilding the transcript or composer for the dashboard, stop and extend Ink instead.
-
-**Structured React UI around the TUI is allowed when it is not a second chat surface.** Sidebar widgets, inspectors, summaries, status panels, and similar supporting views (e.g. `ChatSidebar`, `ModelPickerDialog`, `ToolCall`) are fine when they complement the embedded TUI rather than replacing the transcript / composer / terminal. Keep their state independent of the PTY child's session and surface their failures non-destructively so the terminal pane keeps working unimpaired.

-> The Curator release — Hermes Agent now maintains itself. An autonomous background Curator grades, prunes, and consolidates your skill library on its own schedule. The self-improvement loop that reviews what to save got a substantial upgrade. Four new inference providers, a 18th messaging platform, a 19th via Teams plugin, native Spotify + Google Meet integrations, ComfyUI and TouchDesigner-MCP moved from optional to bundled-by-default, and a ~57% cut to visible TUI cold start.

-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Autonomous Curator** — `hermes curator` runs as a background agent on the gateway's cron ticker (7-day cycle default). It grades your skill library, consolidates related skills, prunes dead ones, and writes per-run reports to `logs/curator/run.json` + `REPORT.md`. Archived skills are classified consolidated-vs-pruned via model + heuristic. Defense-in-depth gates protect bundled/hub skills from mutation. Unified under `auxiliary.curator` — pick the curator's model in `hermes model`, manage it from the dashboard. `hermes curator status` ranks skills by usage (most-used / least-used). ([#17277](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17277), [#17307](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17307), [#17941](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17941), [#17868](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17868), [#18033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18033))
-
-- **Self-improvement loop — substantially upgraded** — The background review fork (the core of Hermes' self-improvement: after each turn it decides what memories/skills to save or update) is now class-first (rubric-based rather than free-form), active-update biased (prefers the skill the agent just loaded), handles `references/`/`templates/` sub-files, and properly inherits the parent's live runtime (provider, model, credentials actually propagate). Restricted to memory + skills toolsets so it can't sprawl. Memory providers shut down cleanly. Prior-turn tool messages excluded from the summary so the fork sees a clean context. ([#16026](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16026), [#17213](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17213), [#16099](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16099), [#16569](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16569), [#16204](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16204), [#15057](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15057))

([#16358](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16358), [#14876](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/14876), [#16291](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16291), [#17512](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17512), [#16323](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16323), [#17744](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17744))
-
-- **LM Studio — first-class provider** — upgraded from a custom-endpoint alias to a full-blown native provider: dedicated auth, `hermes doctor` checks, reasoning transport, live `/models` listing. (Salvage of @kshitijk4poor's #17061.) ([#17102](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17102))
-
-- **Four more new inference providers** — **GMI Cloud** (first-class, salvage of #11955 — @isaachuangGMICLOUD), **Azure AI Foundry** with auto-detection, **MiniMax OAuth** with PKCE browser flow (salvage #15203), **Tencent Tokenhub** (salvage of #16860).

-
-- **`hermes -z` one-shot mode + `hermes update --check`** — non-interactive `hermes -z <prompt>` with `--model`/`--provider`/`HERMES_INFERENCE_MODEL`. `hermes update --check` preflight. Opt-in pre-update HERMES_HOME backup. ([#15702](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15702), [#15704](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15704), [#15841](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15841), [#16539](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16539), [#16566](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16566))
-
-- **Models dashboard tab + in-browser model config** — rich per-model analytics, switch main + auxiliary models from the dashboard. ([#17745](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17745), [#17802](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17802))
-
-- **Remote model catalog manifest** — OpenRouter + Nous Portal model catalogs are now pulled from a remote manifest so new models show up without a release. ([#16033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16033))
-
-- **Native multimodal image routing** — images now route based on the model's actual vision capability rather than provider defaults. ([#16506](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16506))
-
-- **Gateway media parity** — native multi-image sending across Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Email, and Signal; centralized audio routing with FLAC support + Telegram document fallback. ([#17909](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17909), [#17833](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17833))
-
-- **TUI catches up to (and past) the classic CLI** — LaTeX rendering (@austinpickett), `/reload` .env hot-reload, pluggable busy-indicator styles (@OutThisLife, #13610), opt-in auto-resume of last session, expanded light-terminal auto-detection, session delete from `/resume` picker with `d`, modified mouse-wheel line scroll, and a `/mouse` toggle that kills ConPTY's phantom mouse injection (@kevin-ho). ([#17175](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17175), [#17286](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17286), [#17150](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17150), [#17130](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17130), [#17113](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17113), [#17668](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17668), [#17669](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17669), [#15488](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15488))

([#16917](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16917), [#17754](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17754))
-
-- **TTS provider registry + Piper local TTS** — pluggable `tts.providers.<name>` registry; Piper ships as a native local TTS provider. (Closes #8508.) ([#17843](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17843), [#17885](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17885))
-
-- **Vercel Sandbox backend** — Vercel sandboxes as an execute_code/terminal backend (@kshitijk4poor). ([#17445](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17445))
-
-- **Secret redaction off by default** — default flipped to off. Prevents the long-standing patch-corruption incidents where fake secret-shaped substrings mangled tool outputs. Opt in via `redaction.enabled: true` when you need it. ([#16794](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16794))
-
-- **Cold-start performance** — visible TUI cold start cut **~57%** via lazy agent init (@OutThisLife), lazy imports of OpenAI / Anthropic / Firecrawl / account_usage, mtime-cached `load_config()`, memoized `get_tool_definitions()` with TTL-cached `check_fn` results, precompiled dangerous-command patterns. ([#17190](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17190), [#17046](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17046), [#17041](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17041), [#17098](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17098), [#17206](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17206))
-
-- **Configurable prompt cache TTL** — `prompt_caching.cache_ttl` (5m default, 1h opt-in — cost savings for bursty sessions that keep cache warm). Salvage of #12659. ([#15065](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15065))

-## 🧠 Autonomous Curator & Self-Improvement Loop
-
-### Curator — autonomous skill maintenance
-- **`hermes curator` as a background agent** — runs on the gateway's cron ticker, 7-day cycle by default, umbrella-first prompt, inherits parent config, unbounded iterations ([#17277](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17277) — issue #7816)
-- **Per-run reports** — `logs/curator/run.json` + `REPORT.md` per cycle ([#17307](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17307))
-- **Consolidated vs pruned classification** — archived skills split with model + heuristic ([#17941](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17941))
-- **`hermes curator status`** — ranks skills by usage, shows most-used and least-used ([#18033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18033))
-- **Unified under `auxiliary.curator`** — pick the model in `hermes model`, configure from the dashboard ([#17868](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17868))
-- **Documentation** — dedicated curator feature page on the docs site ([#17563](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17563))

-- Fix: scan nested archive subdirs in `restore_skill` (@0xDevNinja) ([#17951](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17951))
-- Fix: use actual skill activity in curator status (@y0shua1ee) ([#17953](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17953))
-- Fix: `skill_manage` refuses writes on pinned skills; pinning now blocks curator writes ([#17562](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17562), [#17578](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17578))
-- Fix: `bump_use()` wired into skill invocation + preload + skill_view (salvage #17782) ([#17932](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17932))
-
-### Self-improvement loop (background review fork)
-- **Class-first skill-review prompt** — rubric-based grading rather than free-form "should this update" ([#16026](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16026))
-- **Active-update bias** — prefers updating skills the agent just loaded, handles `references/` + `templates/` sub-files ([#17213](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17213))
-- **Fork inherits parent's live runtime** — provider, model, credentials actually propagate now ([#16099](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16099))
-- **Scoped toolsets** — review fork restricted to memory + skills (no shell, no web) ([#16569](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16569))
-- **Clean shutdown** — background review memory providers exit properly (salvage #15289) ([#16204](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16204))
-- **Clean context** — prior-history tool messages excluded from review summary (salvage #14967) ([#15057](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15057))

-"""Routing helpers for inbound user-attached images.
-
-Two modes:
-
-  native  — attach images as OpenAI-style ``image_url`` content parts on the
-            user turn. Provider adapters (Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Codex,
-            OpenAI chat.completions) already translate these into their
-            vendor-specific multimodal formats.
-
-  text    — run ``vision_analyze`` on each image up-front and prepend the
-            description to the user's text. The model never sees the pixels;
-            it only sees a lossy text summary. This is the pre-existing
-            behaviour and still the right choice for non-vision models.
-
-The decision is made once per message turn by :func:`decide_image_input_mode`.
-It reads ``agent.image_input_mode`` from config.yaml (``auto`` | ``native``
-| ``text``, default ``auto``) and the active model's capability metadata.
-
-In ``auto`` mode:
-  - If the user has explicitly configured ``auxiliary.vision.provider``
-    (i.e. not ``auto`` and not empty), we assume they want the text pipeline
-    regardless of the main model — they've opted in to a specific vision
-    backend for a reason (cost, quality, local-only, etc.).
-  - Otherwise, if the active model reports ``supports_vision=True`` in its
-    models.dev metadata, we attach natively.
-  - Otherwise (non-vision model, no explicit override), we fall back to text.
-
-This keeps ``vision_analyze`` surfaced as a tool in every session — skills
-and agent flows that chain it (browser screenshots, deeper inspection of
-URL-referenced images, style-gating loops) keep working. The routing only
-affects *how user-attached images on the current turn* are presented to the
-main model.

-
-      (a) The caller's own RPM / RPH / TPM / TPH bucket on Nous is
-          exhausted — a genuine rate limit that will last until the
-          bucket resets.
-      (b) The upstream provider is out of capacity for a specific model
-          — transient, clears in seconds, and has nothing to do with
-          the caller's quota on Nous.

-         proof of (a).
-      2. The last-known-good rate-limit state captured by
-         ``_capture_rate_limits()`` on the previous successful
-         response.  If any bucket there was already near-exhausted with
-         a substantial reset window, the current 429 is almost
-         certainly (a) continuing from that condition.

 # Adding a New Messaging Platform
 
-There are two ways to add a platform to the Hermes gateway:
-
-## Plugin Path (Recommended for Community/Third-Party)
-
-Create a plugin directory in `~/.hermes/plugins/` with a `PLUGIN.yaml` and
-`adapter.py`.  The adapter inherits from `BasePlatformAdapter` and registers
-via `ctx.register_platform()` in the `register(ctx)` entry point.  This
-requires **zero changes to core Hermes code**.
-
-The plugin system automatically handles: adapter creation, config parsing,
-user authorization, cron delivery, send_message routing, system prompt hints,
-status display, gateway setup, and more.
-
-See `plugins/platforms/irc/` for a complete reference implementation, and
-`website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md` for the full
-plugin guide with code examples.
-
----
-
-## Built-in Path (Core Contributors Only)
-
-Checklist for integrating a platform directly into the Hermes core.
-Use this as a reference when building a built-in adapter — every item here
-is a real integration point. Missing any of them will cause broken
-functionality, missing features, or inconsistent behavior.

-提供 COS 上传、文件下载、TIM 媒体消息构建等功能。
-移植自 TypeScript 版 media.ts（yuanbao-openclaw-plugin），
-使用 httpx 替代 cos-nodejs-sdk-v5，避免引入额外 SDK 依赖。
-
-COS 上传流程：
-  1. 调用 genUploadInfo 获取临时凭证（tmpSecretId/tmpSecretKey/sessionToken）
-  2. 用临时凭证通过 HMAC-SHA1 签名构建 Authorization 头
-  3. HTTP PUT 上传到 COS

-TIM 消息体构建：
-  - buildImageMsgBody() → TIMImageElem
-  - buildFileMsgBody()  → TIMFileElem

-The footer is appended to the final response text in ``gateway/run.py`` right
