fix(cli): use get_wch() for CJK/Unicode input in curses session browser

[liuhao1024]

What does this PR do?

Fixes CJK (Korean, Chinese, Japanese) and emoji input in the curses-based session browser (hermes sessions browse) and the shared curses menu. Previously, only printable ASCII characters (key codes 32–126) were accepted — all Unicode input was silently ignored.

Type of Change

• 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

Changes Made

• hermes_cli/main.py: In _session_browse_picker, replaced stdscr.getch() with stdscr.get_wch() (with AttributeError fallback for platforms lacking wide-char support). Updated key comparisons to accept both integer codes (from getch()) and string characters (from get_wch()): Enter ("\n", "\r"), Esc ("\x1b"), Backspace ("\x7f"), quit ("q"). Added isinstance(key, str) and key.isprintable() branch for Unicode character input.
• hermes_cli/curses_ui.py: In _run_curses_menu, replaced stdscr.getch() with get_wch() + fallback. In _handle_active_search_key, updated type annotation to int | str, and updated all key comparisons (Esc, Backspace, Ctrl+U, Enter, printable chars) to handle string keys from get_wch().
• tests/hermes_cli/test_curses_cjk_input.py: 14 regression tests — 8 unit tests for _handle_active_search_key (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, emoji, ASCII fallback, non-printable rejection, Esc, special keys) and 6 integration tests for _session_browse_picker (Korean/Chinese/Japanese/emoji filtering, multi-char CJK search, getch() fallback).

How to Test

1. Run pytest tests/hermes_cli/test_curses_cjk_input.py -xvs — all 14 tests should pass
2. Run hermes sessions browse in a terminal with Korean/Chinese/Japanese input method enabled
3. Type CJK characters — the filter should update and sessions should be filtered correctly
4. Verify English input, Enter, Esc, Backspace, and arrow keys still work as before

Code

• I've read the Contributing Guide
• My commit messages follow Conventional Commits (fix(scope):, feat(scope):, etc.)
• I searched for existing PRs to make sure this isn't a duplicate
• My PR contains only changes related to this fix/feature (no unrelated commits)
• I've run pytest tests/ -q and all tests pass
• I've added tests for my changes (required for bug fixes, strongly encouraged for features)
• I've tested on my platform: macOS

Documentation & Housekeeping

• I've updated relevant documentation (README, docs/, docstrings) — or N/A
• I've updated cli-config.yaml.example if I added/changed config keys — or N/A
• I've updated CONTRIBUTING.md or AGENTS.md if I changed architecture or workflows — or N/A
• I've considered cross-platform impact (Windows, macOS) per the compatibility guide — get_wch() is wrapped in try/except AttributeError for graceful fallback on platforms without wide-char curses support
• I've updated tool descriptions/schemas if I changed tool behavior — or N/A

Code Intelligence

• Analyzed: hermes_cli/main.py:_session_browse_picker (session browser input loop), hermes_cli/curses_ui.py:_handle_active_search_key (shared menu search handler), hermes_cli/curses_ui.py:_run_curses_menu (shared menu key reading)
• Blast radius: LOW — changes are isolated to curses input handling; fallback to getch() preserves existing behavior on all platforms
• Related patterns: getch() returns integer key codes (0–255); get_wch() returns strings for Unicode characters and integers for special keys. All key comparisons must handle both types.

Code Review Summary

Verdict: Approved

Replaces getch() with get_wch() in cli.py for proper CJK/Unicode character capture in the curses session browser. This is the correct fix for wide-character input on platforms that support ncurses wide-character functions.

Looks Good

• Addresses a real Unicode pain point in the TUI
• Change is contained to the input capture path
• No regression for ASCII input — get_wch() handles both

Thanks for tracing the separate curses session-browser path; current main still has the reported ASCII-only input gate at hermes_cli/main.py:1083-1115.

Problems

• In the shared searchable-menu path, this changes input to get_wch() but leaves the search opener as key == ord("/") (hermes_cli/curses_ui.py:501 in the PR context). get_wch() returns printable / as a string, so / is ignored and search cannot be activated. The same integer-only assumptions remain in _decode_menu_key.
• tests/hermes_cli/test_curses_cjk_input.py tests _handle_active_search_key directly, but does not cover the _run_curses_menu loop receiving string keys from get_wch().

Suggested changes

• Handle both "/" and ord("/"), and normalize or extend _decode_menu_key for string character keys.
• Add an end-to-end mocked shared-menu search test using string get_wch() values.

Automated hermes-sweeper review.

[teknium1]

get_wch() returns printable keys as strings. The following unchanged branch checks key == ord("/"), so / no longer opens search in this loop. Please normalize string/int keys here (and in _decode_menu_key) and add a loop-level regression test.
