feat(session_search): single-shape tool with discovery, scroll, browse — no LLM (#27590)
* feat(session_search): single-shape tool with discovery, scroll, browse — no LLM

Replaces the LLM-summarized session_search with a single-shape tool that
returns actual messages from the DB. Three calling shapes inferred from
args (no mode parameter):

  1. Discovery — pass query. FTS5 + anchored ±5 window + bookends per hit,
     all in one call. ~20ms on a real DB instead of ~90s for the previous
     three aux-LLM calls.
  2. Scroll — pass session_id + around_message_id. Returns a window
     centered on the anchor. To paginate, re-anchor on the first/last id
     of the returned window. Boundary message appears in both windows
     as the orientation marker. ~1ms per scroll call.
  3. Browse — no args. Recent sessions chronologically.

Bookend_start (first 3 user+assistant msgs) and bookend_end (last 3) give
the agent goal + resolution on every discovery hit, so a single tool call
reconstructs a long session's arc without loading the whole transcript.

The aux-LLM summary path is gone: it cost ~$0.30/call, took ~30s, and
laundered FTS5 hits through a model that could confabulate when the right
session wasn't in the hit list. The merged shape returns byte-for-byte
content from SQLite.

History:
- PR #20238 (JabberELF) seeded the fast/summary dual-mode split.
- PR #26419 (yoniebans) expanded to fast/guided/summary with bookends,
  multi-anchor drill-down, default-mode config, and a teaching skill.

This PR collapses that toolkit into one shape with explicit scroll
support, drops the summary path, drops the mode parameter, drops the
config knob, drops the skill. JabberELF's seed work is acknowledged via
the AUTHOR_MAP entry.

Validation:
- 38/38 tool tests pass (tests/tools/test_session_search.py)
- 12/12 get_messages_around tests pass (tests/hermes_state/)
- 11/11 get_anchored_view tests pass (tests/hermes_state/)
- Full tests/tools/ run: 5168 passing, 2 failures pre-exist on main
  (test ordering in test_delegate.py, unrelated)
- E2E against live state DB: discovery 20ms, scroll 1ms, browse 280ms;
  pagination forward+backward works with boundary-message orientation;
  error paths return clean tool_error responses

* chore(session_search): prune dead LLM-summary config and docs

Companion to the single-shape rewrite. The auxiliary.session_search config
block, max_concurrency / extra_body tunables, and matching docs sections
all referenced the removed LLM summarization path. Removing them so users
don't try to tune knobs that nothing reads.

- hermes_cli/config.py: drop dead auxiliary.session_search block from
  DEFAULT_CONFIG. Leftover keys in user config.yaml are harmless and
  ignored.
- hermes_cli/tips.py: drop two tips referencing the removed
  max_concurrency / extra_body knobs.
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: drop 'Session Search Tuning'
  section and the auxiliary.session_search block from the example.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: drop session_search
  rows from the auxiliary-tasks tables and the dedicated tuning subsection.
- website/docs/reference/tools-reference.md: rewrite the session_search
  entry to describe the new three-shape behaviour.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: update the file-tree description.
- tests/tools/test_llm_content_none_guard.py: remove TestSessionSearchContentNone
  class and test_session_search_tool_guarded — both guard against an
  unguarded .content.strip() call site in _summarize_session() that no
  longer exists.

Validation: 97/97 targeted tests still pass (hermes_state + session_search +
llm_content_none_guard). Config tests 55/55.
