fix: clear conversation_history after mid-loop compression to prevent empty sessions

After mid-loop compression (triggered by 413, context_overflow, or Anthropic
long-context tier errors), _compress_context() creates a new session in SQLite
and resets _last_flushed_db_idx=0. However, conversation_history was not cleared,
so _flush_messages_to_session_db() computed:

    flush_from = max(len(conversation_history=200), _last_flushed_db_idx=0) = 200
    messages[200:] → empty (compressed messages < 200)

This resulted in zero messages being written to the new session's SQLite store.
On resume, the user would see 'Session found but has no messages.'

The preflight compression path (line 7311) already had the fix:
    conversation_history = None

This commit adds the same clearing to the three mid-loop compression sites:
- Anthropic long-context tier overflow
- HTTP 413 payload too large
- Generic context_overflow error

Reported by Aaryan (Nous community).

 # Hermes Agent Setup Script
 # ============================================================================
 # Quick setup for developers who cloned the repo manually.
-# Uses uv for fast Python provisioning and package management.
+# Uses uv for desktop/server setup and Python's stdlib venv + pip on Termux.
 #
 # Usage:
 #   ./setup-hermes.sh
 #
 # This script:
-# 1. Installs uv if not present
-# 2. Creates a virtual environment with Python 3.11 via uv
-# 3. Installs all dependencies (main package + submodules)
+# 1. Detects desktop/server vs Android/Termux setup path
+# 2. Creates a Python 3.11 virtual environment
+# 3. Installs the appropriate dependency set for the platform
 # 4. Creates .env from template (if not exists)
-# 5. Symlinks the 'hermes' CLI command into ~/.local/bin
+# 5. Symlinks the 'hermes' CLI command into a user-facing bin dir
 # 6. Runs the setup wizard (optional)
