feat(security): enable secret redaction by default (#17691, #20785) (#21193)
Flip the default for HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS from off to on so the redactor
already wired into send_message_tool, logs, and tool output actually runs
on a fresh install.

- agent/redact.py: env-var default "" → "true"
- hermes_cli/config.py: DEFAULT_CONFIG security.redact_secrets True;
  two config-template comments rewritten
- gateway/run.py + cli.py: startup log / banner warning when the user
  has explicitly opted out, so the downgrade is visible in agent.log
  and at CLI banner time
- docs/reference/environment-variables.md: description reconciled
- tests: flipped the default-pin, restructured the force=True
  regression test to explicit-false instead of unset

Users who need raw credential values (redactor development) can still
opt out via security.redact_secrets: false in config.yaml or
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false in .env.

Closes #17691.
Addresses #20785 (short-term output-pipeline recommendation).
