Three fixes bundled for curator reliability on existing installs and
broken/partial installs:
1. run_agent.py: defer `import fire` into the __main__ block. `fire` is
only used by `fire.Fire(main)` when running run_agent.py directly as
a CLI — it is NOT needed for library usage. Importing it at module
top made `from run_agent import AIAgent` from a daemon thread (e.g.
the curator's forked review agent) crash with ModuleNotFoundError
on broken/partial installs where `fire` isn't present.
2. hermes_cli/config.py: add version 22 → 23 migration that writes the
`curator` + `auxiliary.curator` sections to config.yaml with their
defaults, only filling keys the user hasn't overridden. Existing
configs from before PR #16049 / the April 2026 `auxiliary.curator`
unification had neither section on disk, so users couldn't see or
edit the settings in their config.yaml (runtime deep-merge papered
over it at read time, but the file never reflected reality).
3. hermes_cli/config.py: `ensure_hermes_home()` now pre-creates
`~/.hermes/logs/curator/` alongside cron/sessions/logs/memories on
every CLI launch. Managed-mode (NixOS) variant mkdir's it
defensively after the activation-script existence checks, since the
activation script may not know about this subpath.
4. agent/curator.py: `_reports_root()` mkdir's the dir at call time as
belt-and-suspenders for entry paths that bypass both
ensure_hermes_home() and the v23 migration (gateway-only installs,
bare library use).
E2E validated in isolated HERMES_HOME: fresh install gets full defaults
seeded; partial-override config keeps user's `enabled: false` and
custom `interval_hours` while filling the missing keys; re-running the
migration is a no-op.
