When the user pastes a long slash command like \`/goal <long prose>\` into
\`hermes chat\`, the input flows into \`_detect_file_drop()\`, whose
\`starts_like_path\` prefilter accepts anything starting with \`/\` and
forwards it to \`_resolve_attachment_path()\`. That helper calls
\`Path.exists()\` which invokes \`os.stat()\`, which raises
\`OSError(errno=ENAMETOOLONG)\` — 63 on macOS, 36 on Linux — when the
candidate exceeds NAME_MAX (typically 255 bytes).
The OSError propagates up to the broad \`except Exception\` in
\`process_loop\` (cli.py:11798), gets logged at WARNING level, and the
user's input is silently dropped. From the user's POV the chat prompt
hangs — the only signal is in agent.log:
WARNING cli: process_loop unhandled error (msg may be lost):
[Errno 63] File name too long: "/goal Drive the space board..."
This affects any slash command with prose-length arguments — \`/goal\`
in particular but also \`/skill\`, \`/cron\`, custom user commands.
Fix: wrap the \`exists()\`/\`is_file()\` calls in try/except OSError so
structurally-invalid path candidates cleanly return None. The slash-
command dispatch path downstream (cli.py:11718) then handles the
input correctly.
Tests: two new regression cases in test_cli_file_drop.py cover the
original \`/goal\` reproducer and a synthetic long path. All 35 file-
drop tests pass.
Reproducer (without the fix):
python -c "from cli import _detect_file_drop;
_detect_file_drop('/goal ' + 'a'*300)"
→ OSError: [Errno 63] File name too long
