kshitijk4poor ccfbf42844 feat: secure skill env setup on load (core #688)
When a skill declares required_environment_variables in its YAML
frontmatter, missing env vars trigger a secure TUI prompt (identical
to the sudo password widget) when the skill is loaded. Secrets flow
directly to ~/.hermes/.env, never entering LLM context.

Key changes:
- New required_environment_variables frontmatter field for skills
- Secure TUI widget (masked input, 120s timeout)
- Gateway safety: messaging platforms show local setup guidance
- Legacy prerequisites.env_vars normalized into new format
- Remote backend handling: conservative setup_needed=True
- Env var name validation, file permissions hardened to 0o600
- Redact patterns extended for secret-related JSON fields
- 12 existing skills updated with prerequisites declarations
- ~48 new tests covering skip, timeout, gateway, remote backends
- Dynamic panel widget sizing (fixes hardcoded width from original PR)

Cherry-picked from PR #723 by kshitijk4poor, rebased onto current main
with conflict resolution.

Fixes #688

# Apple Notes
Use `memo` to manage Apple Notes directly from the terminal. Notes sync across all Apple devices via iCloud.
## Prerequisites
- **macOS** with Notes.app
- Install: `brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo`
- Grant Automation access to Notes.app when prompted (System Settings → Privacy → Automation)
## When to Use
- User asks to create, view, or search Apple Notes
- Saving information to Notes.app for cross-device access
- Organizing notes into folders
- Exporting notes to Markdown/HTML
## When NOT to Use
- Obsidian vault management → use the `obsidian` skill
- Bear Notes → separate app (not supported here)
- Quick agent-only notes → use the `memory` tool instead
## Quick Reference
### View Notes
```bash
memo notes # List all notes
memo notes -f "Folder Name" # Filter by folder
memo notes -s "query" # Search notes (fuzzy)
```
### Create Notes
```bash
memo notes -a # Interactive editor
memo notes -a "Note Title" # Quick add with title
```
### Edit Notes
```bash
memo notes -e # Interactive selection to edit
```
### Delete Notes
```bash
memo notes -d # Interactive selection to delete
```
### Move Notes
```bash
memo notes -m # Move note to folder (interactive)
```
### Export Notes
```bash
memo notes -ex # Export to HTML/Markdown
```
## Limitations
- Cannot edit notes containing images or attachments
- Interactive prompts require terminal access (use pty=true if needed)
- macOS only — requires Apple Notes.app
## Rules
1. Prefer Apple Notes when user wants cross-device sync (iPhone/iPad/Mac)
2. Use the `memory` tool for agent-internal notes that don't need to sync
3. Use the `obsidian` skill for Markdown-native knowledge management
