Port from cline/cline#11514: encourage parallel tool calls

Add a universal system-prompt guidance block telling the model to batch
independent tool calls (reads, searches, web fetches, read-only commands)
into a single assistant turn instead of one call per turn. The runtime
already executes independent batches concurrently (read-only tools always;
non-overlapping path-scoped file ops); the open-source system prompt had
nothing steering the model to PRODUCE the batch. Fewer round-trips means
less resent context, which compounds over a long conversation.

- prompt_builder.py: new PARALLEL_TOOL_CALL_GUIDANCE block (short, static,
  cache-amortised) modeled on TASK_COMPLETION_GUIDANCE.
- system_prompt.py: inject right after the task-completion block, gated by
  agent.valid_tool_names + the new toggle.
- agent_init.py: read agent.parallel_tool_call_guidance (default True).
- config.py: add the default under the agent section.
- test_prompt_builder.py: behavior-contract tests (batching steer, dependent
  carve-out, length bound) — invariants, not wording snapshots.

Adapted from Cline's TypeScript tool-surface guidance to hermes-agent's
Python prompt-assembly architecture and config-over-env conventions.

-    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-    The install method describes *the binary that is running*, but

-    bind-mount it (``~/.hermes:/opt/data``) so config/sessions/memory persist
-    and can be shared with a host-side Desktop/CLI install. When a
-    containerised gateway and a host install share one ``$HERMES_HOME``, a
-    home-scoped stamp is a single slot describing two different installs:
-    the container stamps ``docker`` on every boot, the host install then reads
-    ``docker`` and ``hermes update`` refuses to run ("doesn't apply inside the
-    Docker container") even though the host binary is a perfectly updatable
-    git/pip install. Scoping the stamp to the install tree gives each install
-    its own truthful marker.
-
-    Self-healing for already-poisoned homes: a legacy ``docker`` value in the
-    home-scoped stamp is only honoured when we are genuinely in a container.
-    On a host install that read a contaminating ``docker`` stamp, we fall
-    through to managed/.git/pip detection instead — so existing shared-home
-    setups recover without the user touching anything.
+    1. Stamped ``~/.hermes/.install_method`` file (written by installers)
+    2. HERMES_MANAGED env / .managed marker (NixOS, Homebrew)
+    3. .git directory presence -> 'git'
+    4. Fallback -> 'pip'
 
     Note: running inside a container is NOT treated as "docker" on its own.
-    The supported installs self-identify via the code-scoped stamp:
+    The two supported install paths both self-identify via the
+    ``.install_method`` stamp (caught by step 1), so neither relies on
+    container detection here:
       - the curl installer (scripts/install.sh, the README/website install
-        command) git-clones the repo and stamps ``git`` next to the code;
-      - the published ``nousresearch/hermes-agent`` image bakes a ``docker``
-        stamp into ``/opt/hermes`` at build time.
-    An unsupported manual install dropped into a container (no stamp) falls

-The connector⇄gateway channel is authenticated (the gateway may be

-zero-touch enrollment in the connector repo's
-``docs/connector-gateway-auth-design.md``:
-
-  1. Resolve a fresh Nous Portal access token from the existing login
-     (``~/.hermes/auth.json``) — the same path ``hermes dashboard register``
-     uses (``resolve_nous_access_token``). This proves *which Nous org (tenant)*
-     the caller owns; the connector derives the authoritative tenant from it via
-     ``GET /api/oauth/account`` (never from anything the gateway asserts).
-  2. POST ``{enrollmentToken, gatewayId}`` to the connector's ``/relay/enroll``
-     with that token in the ``Authorization`` header, over TLS.
-  3. The connector verifies the enrollment token (signature + single-use +
-     tenant match), mints a per-gateway secret, get-or-creates the per-tenant
-     delivery key, and returns both ONCE.
-  4. Persist ``GATEWAY_RELAY_ID`` / ``GATEWAY_RELAY_SECRET`` /
-     ``GATEWAY_RELAY_DELIVERY_KEY`` (+ ``GATEWAY_RELAY_URL`` if supplied) into
-     ``~/.hermes/.env``. The per-gateway secret authenticates the WS upgrade;
-     the per-tenant delivery key verifies signed inbound deliveries.

-Managed/hosted installs do NOT self-enroll: the orchestrator (NAS) mints the
-secret directly and stamps it into the container env, so this command refuses to
-run under ``is_managed()`` (mirrors ``dashboard register``).

-"""Nous Portal terminal-billing HTTP client (Phase 2b).
-
-Thin, fail-loud client for the four ``/api/billing/*`` endpoints the terminal
-billing screens drive. Companion to ``hermes_cli/nous_account.py`` (which owns
-read-only entitlement/balance) — this module owns the *write* side: buy credits,
-poll a charge, configure auto-reload.
-
-Design rules:
-
-- **Money is decimal, never float.** The server emits decimal STRINGS
-  (``"142.5"`` — not fixed 2dp). We parse with :class:`decimal.Decimal` and never
-  round-trip through float.
-- **This client raises typed exceptions; it does NOT fail open.** Fail-open is the
-  *caller's* job (the ``agent/billing_view.py`` builders) so each surface can
-  decide how to degrade. A raw network/HTTP error here surfaces as
-  :class:`BillingError` (or a subclass) carrying the parsed server ``error`` code,
-  HTTP status, ``portalUrl`` deep-link, and ``retry_after``.
-- **Auth** = the OAuth bearer JWT Hermes already holds for inference
-  (``get_provider_auth_state("nous")["access_token"]``). No API-key auth on these.
-- **Portal base URL** resolves with the same precedence as the device-flow login
-  (``auth.py``): ``HERMES_PORTAL_BASE_URL`` → ``NOUS_PORTAL_BASE_URL`` → the
-  stored auth-state ``portal_base_url`` → the registry default. This is how the
-  E2E run points the client at a preview deployment with zero code change.

-source: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/unreal-engine/unreal-mcp-in-unreal-editor
-
-# Epic's official "Unreal MCP" plugin (internal id ModelContextProtocol)
-# embeds an MCP server inside the running Unreal Editor process and serves it
-# over local HTTP. There is nothing to install on the Hermes side — the user
-# enables the plugin in-editor and the server binds to 127.0.0.1. Hermes's
-# MCP client just connects to the URL.
-#
-# Default bind is http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp (port + path are configurable in
-# Editor Preferences > General > Model Context Protocol). If you change the
-# port/path in-editor, edit the url in mcp_servers.unreal-engine afterward.
-transport:
-  type: http
-  url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp
-
-# The editor-embedded server accepts connections only from the same machine
-# and has no authentication of its own (Epic's experimental design — not for
-# remote use). Nothing to prompt for.
-auth:
-  type: none
-
-# Tool selection at install time:
-# The plugin advertises engine tools (spawn actors, configure lighting, create
-# material instances, inspect Slate widgets, run automation tests) and is
-# user-extensible, so the exact surface depends on the project's enabled
-# toolsets. Leave default_enabled unset — the install-time probe lists whatever
-# the live editor exposes and pre-checks all of it; users prune from there.

-  This entry connects to Epic's official Unreal MCP plugin, which runs INSIDE
-  the Unreal Editor. Before Hermes can connect:
-
-    1. Open your project in Unreal Editor 5.8+.
-    2. Edit > Plugins, search "Unreal MCP", enable it, restart the editor
-       (the Toolset Registry dependency enables automatically).
-    3. Edit > Editor Preferences > General > Model Context Protocol, turn on
-       "Auto Start Server" (or run `ModelContextProtocol.StartServer` in the
-       editor console). It binds to http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp by default.
-
-  Start Hermes AFTER the editor's server is running so the tools are probed.
-  If you changed the port or URL path in Editor Preferences, update the url in
-  mcp_servers.unreal-engine to match.
-
-  Status: Epic ships this as EXPERIMENTAL. The server runs Tool calls serially
-  on the engine game thread — avoid issuing overlapping calls.

-"""Regression for #47967 — empty-name phantom tool calls.
-
-Weak open models (mimo, nemotron-class) that see tool-call XML/JSON sitting in
-file contents or tool output get *primed* and emit their own structured tool
-calls that mimic the payload — usually with an empty/whitespace ``name``. Those
-calls can't be fuzzy-repaired toward a real tool, so the dispatch loop returns an
-error and the model retries. Before this fix, every empty-name error dumped the
-full tool catalog back to the model, which fed the priming loop more names to
-mimic and inflated context 3-4x across the retry budget.
-
-The fix: a blank/whitespace-only tool name gets a terse anti-priming error that
-tells the model in-context tool-call syntax is DATA, with NO catalog dump. A
-genuinely-wrong-but-nonempty name (an actual typo) still gets the full catalog
-so the model can self-correct.
-
-These assert the *behavior contract* of the dispatch branch (what content goes
-back to the model for each name shape), exercised end-to-end through
-``AIAgent.run_conversation`` against an in-process mock provider — not a snapshot
-of the message string.

-# session_id.  That worked only because _finish_trace pops the key on a clean
-# turn end.  When turn 1 does NOT finalize (interrupted, tool-only final step,
-# or empty final content), its state lingered under session_id and turn 2
