Bug 1: Break out of tool execution after steer consumed

The fix lives in hermes-agent:

  • agent/tool_executor.py: execute_tool_calls_sequential() needs a post-steer check to break the loop.
  • execute_tool_calls_concurrent(): Skip subsequent batches if steer is pending.

Gap 2: metadata-tagging for persistence (Option B)

Instead of modifying tool result content strings or inserting synthetic user messages:

  • Store steer text as metadata (e.g., _steer_applied) on the tool result dictionary.
  • Strip this field before sending to the API.
  • This allows the WebUI to render the steer distinctly without breaking API role alternation.
