fix: stabilization fixes and architectural enhancements

[aniruddhaadak80]

Summary of Changes

• Resolved /q alias collision (Fixes CLI command alias collision: /q resolves to quit, making queue shorthand unreachable #14712)
• Implemented skill prompt cache invalidation for dynamic skill/tool toggling.
• Added guard for on_session_finalize(session_id=None) in gateway (Fixes /new emits on_session_finalize(session_id=None) when no prior session exists #12176)
• Implemented WSL2/Windows TCP keepalive workaround for stability.
• Added session_name support for cron jobs for session persistence.
• Refined LLM tool-use feedback for pending approvals.
• Optimized plugin hook order for assistant response overrides.
• Fixed mock lambda keyword arguments in tests/cron/test_codex_execution_paths.py.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• Architectural improvement

[teknium1]

Thanks for assembling several useful fixes. The current branch needs selective salvage rather than a bulk merge.

Problems

• The session_name change in cron/scheduler.py does not resume history as its added comment claims. Current execution still calls agent.run_conversation(prompt) at cron/scheduler.py:3139; run_agent.py persists SessionDB messages (run_agent.py:1755) but does not load a transcript for this cron path.
• The PR adds prompt_cache_ttl and ANTHROPIC_CACHE_TTL in hermes_cli/config.py, but the PR diff has no prompt_cache_ttl consumer. ANTHROPIC_CACHE_TTL is also a non-secret behavioral .env setting, contrary to AGENTS.md:102-106.
• Current /reload-skills intentionally preserves the prompt cache (agent/skill_commands.py:412-416; gateway/slash_commands.py:4208-4218), so the proposed cache invalidation needs a focused design decision.

Suggested changes

• Salvage the null prior-session finalize guard separately; current gateway/slash_commands.py:225-237 still invokes the hook with a nullable ID.
• Rework or remove session_name persistence and the unconsumed cache settings.

Automated hermes-sweeper review.

Closing as superseded — the reviewable pieces of this broad stabilization bundle have been rebuilt as focused PRs against current main, where they are actively being reviewed:

• fix: clean up profile clone manifests and slash-command logging #48290 — profile clone manifest pruning + claude-code onboarding title (hermes_cli/profiles.py)
• fix(dashboard): use powershell.exe to open browser on WSL #14909 — WSL dashboard browser launch via powershell.exe (hermes_cli/web_server.py)
• fix(agent): run post_llm_call hook before session persistence #14913 — transform_llm_output hook ordering vs persistence (agent/turn_finalizer.py)
• fix: stabilization fixes and architectural enhancements #14957 — API-server image serving + per-run contextvar binding, skills trusted-dir/separator fixes, TUI gateway logging/hooks (gateway/platforms/api_server.py, agent/image_gen_provider.py, tools/skills_tool.py, tui_gateway/entry.py)

The remaining ~60-file bulk of this branch predates thousands of upstream commits (api_server alone differs by >4000 lines) and can no longer be verified or merged safely — a squash would silently revert current main fixes. If a specific fix from this bundle still reproduces on current main, please open it as an issue or a single-purpose PR and it will get proper attention.
