Native Tern frontend for Hermes, plus keyboard approvals

@fullctx shipped a native Tern frontend that keeps the same `hermes` command but streams tools and subagents live, writes replies in drying gold ink, and ends turns with a delivered mark. Follow-up PRs on 7 Oct add keyboard answers for approvals and clarifications, queue-on-busy so Enter does not eat a message, in-pane `/help /clear /cost /retry /doctor`, a 7-level thinking-effort ring, and honest truncation.

Why it matters

Most Hermes operators live in the terminal. This is a real UX layer, not a screenshot mock, and the approval/queue fixes are the parts people actually lose sessions over.
