fix(windows-editor): default EDITOR=notepad so /edit and Ctrl+X Ctrl+E work
Pre-existing Windows bug surfaced while reviewing the portable-MinGit
install: prompt_toolkit's Buffer.open_in_editor() falls back to POSIX
absolute paths (/usr/bin/nano, /usr/bin/vi, /usr/bin/emacs) that don't
exist on native Windows. When neither $EDITOR nor $VISUAL is set,
Ctrl+X Ctrl+E ("open prompt in editor") and /edit both silently do
nothing on Windows — the user hits the key, nothing happens, no error.
This wasn't caused by MinGit (full Git for Windows doesn't fix it either,
because the Windows Python subprocess call resolves `/usr/bin/nano` as
`C:\usr\bin\nano`, which doesn't exist even with nano installed).
Fixes:
- hermes_cli/stdio.py::configure_windows_stdio now sets EDITOR=notepad
on Windows if neither EDITOR nor VISUAL is set. notepad.exe is in
every Windows install, works as a blocking editor (subprocess.call
waits for the window to close), and writes back to the file.
- hermes_cli/config.py (hermes config edit): reorder fallback list so
Windows tries notepad first — previously nano led the list, which
required Git Bash / WSL to be in PATH.
- Users who want VSCode / Neovim / Notepad++ can still override via
$env:EDITOR — that's checked before our default kicks in. Docstring
spells out the common overrides.
The Ink TUI (`hermes --tui`) already handled Windows correctly via
ui-tui/src/lib/editor.ts falling back to notepad.exe on win32 — this
commit brings the classic prompt_toolkit CLI into parity.
3 new tests in test_windows_native_support.py verify:
- EDITOR=notepad gets set when unset on Windows
- Explicit $EDITOR is respected
- $VISUAL is respected (not overwritten by our default)
