feat(tui): add /mouse [on|off|toggle] runtime slash command

Toggle SGR mouse tracking (DEC 1000/1002/1003/1006) at runtime without
restart or env-var spelunking. Fix path when a terminal doesn't honor raw
mode / no-echo and echoes mouse events as visible escape sequences (e.g.
`<35;111;133M` scrolling up the transcript on every mouse move).

- New `/mouse [on|off|toggle]` slash command (persists via config.set key=mouse
  → display.tui_mouse in ~/.hermes/config.yaml).
- New hermes-ink export `setAltScreenMouseTracking(enabled)` that writes
  ENABLE/DISABLE bytes and updates the instance flag without re-entering
  the alt-screen — so live toggles are flicker-free.
- `<AlternateScreen>` mouseTracking prop is frozen at initial value (from
  `HERMES_TUI_DISABLE_MOUSE` env); runtime state lives in `$uiState` and is
  applied via useEffect. Env-var opt-out wins over config so explicit
  HERMES_TUI_DISABLE_MOUSE=1 stays off regardless of persisted state.
- Server: folds `mouse` into the existing compact/statusbar branch in
  config.set/get, defaulting to on.

-Image Generation Provider ABC
-=============================
-
-Defines the pluggable-backend interface for image generation. Providers register
-instances via ``PluginContext.register_image_gen_provider()``; the active one
-(selected via ``image_gen.provider`` in ``config.yaml``) services every
-``image_generate`` tool call.
-
-Providers live in ``<repo>/plugins/image_gen/<name>/`` (built-in, auto-loaded
-as ``kind: backend``) or ``~/.hermes/plugins/image_gen/<name>/`` (user, opt-in
-via ``plugins.enabled``).
-
-Response shape
---------------
-All providers return a dict that :func:`success_response` / :func:`error_response`
-produce. The tool wrapper JSON-serializes it. Keys:
-
-    success        bool
-    image          str | None       URL or absolute file path
-    model          str              provider-specific model identifier
-    prompt         str              echoed prompt
-    aspect_ratio   str              "landscape" | "square" | "portrait"
-    provider       str              provider name (for diagnostics)
-    error          str              only when success=False
-    error_type     str              only when success=False

-Feishu identity model
----------------------
-Feishu uses three user-ID tiers (official docs:
-https://open.feishu.cn/document/home/user-identity-introduction/introduction):
-
-  open_id  (ou_xxx)  — **App-scoped**.  The same person gets a different
-                        open_id under each Feishu app.  Always available in
-                        event payloads without extra permissions.
-  user_id  (u_xxx)   — **Tenant-scoped**.  Stable within a company but
-                        requires the ``contact:user.employee_id:readonly``
-                        scope.  May not be present.
-  union_id (on_xxx)  — **Developer-scoped**.  Same across all apps owned by
-                        one developer/ISV.  Best cross-app stable ID.
-
-For bots specifically:
-
-  app_id              — The application's canonical credential identifier.
-  bot open_id         — Returned by ``/bot/v3/info``.  This is the bot's own
-                        open_id *within its app context* and is what Feishu
-                        puts in ``mentions[].id.open_id`` when someone
-                        @-mentions the bot.  Used for mention gating only.
-
-In single-bot mode (what Hermes currently supports), open_id works as a
-de-facto unique user identifier since there is only one app context.
-
-Session-key participant isolation prefers ``union_id`` (via user_id_alt)
-over ``open_id`` (via user_id) so that sessions stay stable if the same
-user is seen through different apps in the future.

-description: Embed alibaba/page-agent into your own web application — a pure-JavaScript in-page GUI agent that ships as a single <script> tag or npm package and lets end-users of your site drive the UI with natural language ("click login, fill username as John"). No Python, no headless browser, no extension required. Use this skill when the user is a web developer who wants to add an AI copilot to their SaaS / admin panel / B2B tool, make a legacy web app accessible via natural language, or evaluate page-agent against a local (Ollama) or cloud (Qwen / OpenAI / OpenRouter) LLM. NOT for server-side browser automation — point those users to Hermes' built-in browser tool instead.

-# page-agent
-
-alibaba/page-agent (https://github.com/alibaba/page-agent, 17k+ stars, MIT) is an in-page GUI agent written in TypeScript. It lives inside a webpage, reads the DOM as text (no screenshots, no multi-modal LLM), and executes natural-language instructions like "click the login button, then fill username as John" against the current page. Pure client-side — the host site just includes a script and passes an OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint.
-
-## When to use this skill
-
-Load this skill when a user wants to:
-
-- **Ship an AI copilot inside their own web app** (SaaS, admin panel, B2B tool, ERP, CRM) — "users on my dashboard should be able to type 'create invoice for Acme Corp and email it' instead of clicking through five screens"
-- **Modernize a legacy web app** without rewriting the frontend — page-agent drops on top of existing DOM
-- **Add accessibility via natural language** — voice / screen-reader users drive the UI by describing what they want
-- **Demo or evaluate page-agent** against a local (Ollama) or hosted (Qwen, OpenAI, OpenRouter) LLM
-- **Build interactive training / product demos** — let an AI walk a user through "how to submit an expense report" live in the real UI
-
-## When NOT to use this skill
-
-- User wants **Hermes itself to drive a browser** → use Hermes' built-in browser tool (Browserbase / Camofox). page-agent is the *opposite* direction.
-- User wants **cross-tab automation without embedding** → use Playwright, browser-use, or the page-agent Chrome extension
-- User needs **visual grounding / screenshots** → page-agent is text-DOM only; use a multimodal browser agent instead
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Node 22.13+ or 24+, npm 10+ (docs claim 11+ but 10.9 works fine)
-- An OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint: Qwen (DashScope), OpenAI, Ollama, OpenRouter, or anything speaking `/v1/chat/completions`
-- Browser with devtools (for debugging)
-
-## Path 1 — 30-second demo via CDN (no install)
-
-Fastest way to see it work. Uses alibaba's free testing LLM proxy — **for evaluation only**, subject to their terms.
-
-Add to any HTML page (or paste into the devtools console as a bookmarklet):

-<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/page-agent@1.8.0/dist/iife/page-agent.demo.js" crossorigin="true"></script>
-```
-
-A panel appears. Type an instruction. Done.
-
-Bookmarklet form (drop into bookmarks bar, click on any page):
-
-```javascript
-javascript:(function(){var s=document.createElement('script');s.src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/page-agent@1.8.0/dist/iife/page-agent.demo.js';document.head.appendChild(s);})();
-```
-
-## Path 2 — npm install into your own web app (production use)
-
-Inside an existing web project (React / Vue / Svelte / plain):
-
-```bash
-npm install page-agent
-```
-
-Wire it up with your own LLM endpoint — **never ship the demo CDN to real users**:
-
-```javascript
-import { PageAgent } from 'page-agent'
-
-const agent = new PageAgent({
-    model: 'qwen3.5-plus',
-    baseURL: 'https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1',
-    apiKey: process.env.LLM_API_KEY,   // never hardcode
-    language: 'en-US',
-})
-
-// Show the panel for end users:
-agent.panel.show()
-
-// Or drive it programmatically:
-await agent.execute('Click submit button, then fill username as John')
-```
-
-Provider examples (any OpenAI-compatible endpoint works):
-
-| Provider | `baseURL` | `model` |
-|----------|-----------|---------|
-| Qwen / DashScope | `https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1` | `qwen3.5-plus` |
-| OpenAI | `https://api.openai.com/v1` | `gpt-4o-mini` |
-| Ollama (local) | `http://localhost:11434/v1` | `qwen3:14b` |
-| OpenRouter | `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` | `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` |
-
-**Key config fields** (passed to `new PageAgent({...})`):
-
-- `model`, `baseURL`, `apiKey` — LLM connection
-- `language` — UI language (`en-US`, `zh-CN`, etc.)
-- Allowlist and data-masking hooks exist for locking down what the agent can touch — see https://alibaba.github.io/page-agent/ for the full option list
-
-**Security.** Don't put your `apiKey` in client-side code for a real deployment — proxy LLM calls through your backend and point `baseURL` at your proxy. The demo CDN exists because alibaba runs that proxy for evaluation.
-
-## Path 3 — clone the source repo (contributing, or hacking on it)
-
-Use this when the user wants to modify page-agent itself, test it against arbitrary sites via a local IIFE bundle, or develop the browser extension.
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/alibaba/page-agent.git
-cd page-agent
-npm ci              # exact lockfile install (or `npm i` to allow updates)
-```
-
-Create `.env` in the repo root with an LLM endpoint. Example:
-
-```
-LLM_MODEL_NAME=gpt-4o-mini
-LLM_API_KEY=sk-...
-LLM_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
-```
-
-Ollama flavor:
-
-```
-LLM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1
-LLM_API_KEY=NA
-LLM_MODEL_NAME=qwen3:14b
-```
-
-Common commands:
-
-```bash
-npm start           # docs/website dev server
-npm run build       # build every package
-npm run dev:demo    # serve IIFE bundle at http://localhost:5174/page-agent.demo.js
-npm run dev:ext     # develop the browser extension (WXT + React)
-npm run build:ext   # build the extension
-```
-
-**Test on any website** using the local IIFE bundle. Add this bookmarklet:
-
-```javascript
-javascript:(function(){var s=document.createElement('script');s.src=`http://localhost:5174/page-agent.demo.js?t=${Math.random()}`;s.onload=()=>console.log('PageAgent ready!');document.head.appendChild(s);})();
-```
-
-Then: `npm run dev:demo`, click the bookmarklet on any page, and the local build injects. Auto-rebuilds on save.
-
-**Warning:** your `.env` `LLM_API_KEY` is inlined into the IIFE bundle during dev builds. Don't share the bundle. Don't commit it. Don't paste the URL into Slack. (Verified: grepping the public dev bundle returns the literal values from `.env`.)
-
-## Repo layout (Path 3)
-
-Monorepo with npm workspaces. Key packages:
-
-| Package | Path | Purpose |
-|---------|------|---------|
-| `page-agent` | `packages/page-agent/` | Main entry with UI panel |
-| `@page-agent/core` | `packages/core/` | Core agent logic, no UI |
-| `@page-agent/mcp` | `packages/mcp/` | MCP server (beta) |
-| — | `packages/llms/` | LLM client |
-| — | `packages/page-controller/` | DOM ops + visual feedback |
-| — | `packages/ui/` | Panel + i18n |
-| — | `packages/extension/` | Chrome/Firefox extension |
-| — | `packages/website/` | Docs + landing site |
-
-## Verifying it works
-
-After Path 1 or Path 2:
-1. Open the page in a browser with devtools open
-2. You should see a floating panel. If not, check the console for errors (most common: CORS on the LLM endpoint, wrong `baseURL`, or a bad API key)
-3. Type a simple instruction matching something visible on the page ("click the Login link")
-4. Watch the Network tab — you should see a request to your `baseURL`
-
-After Path 3:
-1. `npm run dev:demo` prints `Accepting connections at http://localhost:5174`
-2. `curl -I http://localhost:5174/page-agent.demo.js` returns `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` with `Content-Type: application/javascript`
-3. Click the bookmarklet on any site; panel appears
-
-## Pitfalls
-
-- **Demo CDN in production** — don't. It's rate-limited, uses alibaba's free proxy, and their terms forbid production use.
-- **API key exposure** — any key passed to `new PageAgent({apiKey: ...})` ships in your JS bundle. Always proxy through your own backend for real deployments.
-- **Non-OpenAI-compatible endpoints** fail silently or with cryptic errors. If your provider needs native Anthropic/Gemini formatting, use an OpenAI-compatibility proxy (LiteLLM, OpenRouter) in front.
-- **CSP blocks** — sites with strict Content-Security-Policy may refuse to load the CDN script or disallow inline eval. In that case, self-host from your origin.
-- **Restart dev server** after editing `.env` in Path 3 — Vite only reads env at startup.
-- **Node version** — the repo declares `^22.13.0 || >=24`. Node 20 will fail `npm ci` with engine errors.
-- **npm 10 vs 11** — docs say npm 11+; npm 10.9 actually works fine.

-"""OpenAI image generation backend.
-
-Exposes OpenAI's ``gpt-image-2`` model at three quality tiers as an
-:class:`ImageGenProvider` implementation. The tiers are implemented as
-three virtual model IDs so the ``hermes tools`` model picker and the
-``image_gen.model`` config key behave like any other multi-model backend:
-
-    gpt-image-2-low     ~15s   fastest, good for iteration
-    gpt-image-2-medium  ~40s   default — balanced
-    gpt-image-2-high    ~2min  slowest, highest fidelity
-
-All three hit the same underlying API model (``gpt-image-2``) with a
-different ``quality`` parameter. Output is base64 JSON → saved under
-``$HERMES_HOME/cache/images/``.
-
-Selection precedence (first hit wins):
-
-1. ``OPENAI_IMAGE_MODEL`` env var (escape hatch for scripts / tests)
-2. ``image_gen.openai.model`` in ``config.yaml``
-3. ``image_gen.model`` in ``config.yaml`` (when it's one of our tier IDs)
-4. :data:`DEFAULT_MODEL` — ``gpt-image-2-medium``
