Bug Description

Commit b9c001116 introduced _confirm_destructive_slash using the _prompt_text_input pattern from _confirm_and_reload_mcp. Commit c5f1f863a added the daemon-thread input() fallback to _prompt_text_input. These don't work and they've negatively impacted core hermes functionality on my arch based linux.

Steps to Reproduce

with conversational history type '/new' and hit enter. Then try to do anything else.

Expected Behavior

It should have just created a new session but instead

Actual Behavior

it surfaces that confirmation that freezes the session and requires a kill signal to exit hermes.

Affected Component

Agent Core (conversation loop, context compression, memory)

Messaging Platform (if gateway-related)

N/A (CLI only)
