Teknium da528a8207 fix: detect and strip non-ASCII characters from API keys (#6843)
API keys containing Unicode lookalike characters (e.g. ʋ U+028B instead
of v) cause UnicodeEncodeError when httpx encodes the Authorization
header as ASCII.  This commonly happens when users copy-paste keys from
PDFs, rich-text editors, or web pages with decorative fonts.

Three layers of defense:

1. **Save-time validation** (hermes_cli/config.py):
   _check_non_ascii_credential() strips non-ASCII from credential values
   when saving to .env, with a clear warning explaining the issue.

2. **Load-time sanitization** (hermes_cli/env_loader.py):
   _sanitize_loaded_credentials() strips non-ASCII from credential env
   vars (those ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY) after dotenv
   loads them, so the rest of the codebase never sees non-ASCII keys.

3. **Runtime recovery** (run_agent.py):
   The UnicodeEncodeError recovery block now also sanitizes self.api_key
   and self._client_kwargs['api_key'], fixing the gap where message/tool
   sanitization succeeded but the API key still caused httpx to fail on
   the Authorization header.

Also: hermes_logging.py RotatingFileHandler now explicitly sets
encoding='utf-8' instead of relying on locale default (defensive
hardening for ASCII-locale systems).
