feat(moa): opt-in full-turn trace persistence to JSONL (#56101)

Adds moa.save_traces (default off). When on, every MoA turn that runs the
reference fan-out appends one JSON line to
<hermes_home>/moa-traces/<session_id>.jsonl capturing the TRUE FULL turn:
each reference model's exact input messages (system advisory prompt + full
advisory view, not the truncated display preview) + full output + usage +
per-advisor cost, and the aggregator's exact input (including the injected
reference-context guidance block) + output. Lets MoA runs be audited and
improved offline — what every model saw, said, and cost.

- agent/moa_trace.py: config-gated JSONL writer, profile-aware path via
  get_hermes_home(), best-effort (never breaks a turn), moa.trace_dir override.
- agent/moa_loop.py: _RefAccounting now carries full input/output/model/
  provider/temperature; create() stashes the full turn on a cache MISS
  (once per turn, never on the cache-HIT repeat iterations); non-streaming
  aggregator output captured inline, streaming marked + pointed at the
  session assistant message. consume_and_save_trace(session_id) flushes it.
- agent/conversation_loop.py: flushes the trace with the live session_id
  right after MoA usage consumption. No-op for non-MoA clients.
- hermes_cli/config.py: moa.save_traces + moa.trace_dir defaults.

Traces are a side channel — NOT the messages table, never in replay, safe
to delete. Off by default; only overhead when off is one config read on a
MoA cache-MISS turn.

Tests: full-trace-when-enabled (per-ref input+output+cost, aggregator
input-with-guidance + output), nothing-when-disabled. Live E2E through
run_conversation confirmed the loop wiring writes the file.
