hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix CLI messages silently dropped during tool execution [2 pull requests]

What happened

During an active session, I typed a message while the agent was running tool calls (git branch delete, merge cleanup). The agent never received it. When I asked "did you see my queued message?" the agent said no — the message was silently dropped.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start an interactive hermes session
2. Have the agent run multiple sequential tool calls (e.g., git push + branch delete + checkout)
3. Type a message during or immediately after the tool calls
4. The agent continues without acknowledging the message

Expected behavior

Messages should either:

• Queue and deliver when the agent is ready for input
• Show an error/warning that the message couldn't be delivered

Actual behavior

Message silently dropped. User has no indication it was ever typed.

Impact

This is especially frustrating when the dropped message is:

• A course correction ("wait, don't merge yet")
• A follow-up question that the user assumes was received
• Time-sensitive feedback

The user may continue the conversation assuming the message was seen, only to discover minutes later that it was lost.

Environment

• CLI (terminal) session
• deepseek-v4-pro via deepseek provider
• macOS
• Hermes Agent latest
