hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Google chat placeholders (GC0, GC1, ...) show up in output [3 pull requests]

Bug Description

The code in question is here: https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/plugins/platforms/google_chat/adapter.py#L2031C13-L2031C44

    def _ph(value: str) -> str:
        key = f"\x00GC{counter[0]}\x00"
        counter[0] += 1
        placeholders[key] = value
        return key

in my output, i am seeing the placeholder (and just it), e.g.:

 * Reactivated Copper Opportunity XXXX (Status moved from Abandoned to GC6).

I'm not exactly sure what is going wrong, but, i think it should say the underlying term, not the placeholder.

Steps to Reproduce

1. use google chat
2. give hermes a task where it will report some results
3. observe the results have GC0...N for the placeholders

Expected Behavior

I can see the original value, not the placeholder

Actual Behavior

placeholder (GC0)
