Follow-up to #59332 targeting the remaining PERCEIVED first-token latency
(the wire streaming was already per-token; these fix what the user sees):
1. display.show_reasoning default ON. On thinking models the reasoning
phase streams for tens of seconds; with the display off users stare
at a spinner the whole time and read it as a stall. Flipped in
DEFAULT_CONFIG, load_cli_config defaults, tui_gateway raw-YAML
fallbacks, and the hermes setup status line (all four read sites kept
in sync). Gateway per-platform defaults intentionally stay off —
messaging chats shouldn't fill with thinking text. /reasoning hide
still turns it off and persists.
2. Response box force-flushes long partial lines. _emit_stream_text only
painted on newline, so a response opening with a long paragraph
stayed invisible until the first \n — seconds of blank box. Now
partial lines wrap at terminal width and paint as tokens arrive
(mirrors the reasoning box's 80-char force-flush that existed since
day one). Table blocks remain batch-aligned; no content loss at wrap
boundaries (regression tests added).
3. hermes_time timezone resolution uses read_raw_config (mtime-cached +
libyaml C loader) instead of a raw yaml.safe_load of config.yaml
(~110-140ms measured) inside the FIRST system prompt build. First
build drops 320ms -> ~155ms on a 200-skill install.
4. Stale docs: configuration.md (en+zh) still documented the 70%/90%
[BUDGET WARNING] tool-result injections. Those were removed in April
2026 (c8aff7463) precisely because they hurt task completion; current
behavior is exhaustion-message + one grace call, no mid-loop
injection, no cache impact. Docs now describe reality.
Verified: token-count compression decisions already use API-reported
last_prompt_tokens (rough estimators are preflight-only and cost ~1.7ms
even on 1.7MB histories — not worth touching).
