fix(redact): honor security.redact_secrets from config.yaml (#15109)
agent/redact.py snapshots _REDACT_ENABLED from HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS at
module-import time. hermes_cli/main.py calls setup_logging() early, which
transitively imports agent.redact — BEFORE any config bridge has run. So
users who set 'security.redact_secrets: false' in config.yaml (instead of
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false in .env) had the toggle silently ignored in
both 'hermes chat' and 'hermes gateway run'.

Bridge config.yaml -> env var in hermes_cli/main.py BEFORE setup_logging.
.env still wins (only set env when unset) — config.yaml is the fallback.

Regression tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_redact_config_bridge.py spawn
fresh subprocesses to verify:
- redact_secrets: false in config.yaml disables redaction
- default (key absent) leaves redaction enabled
- .env HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=true overrides config.yaml

"""Regression test for config.yaml `security.redact_secrets: false` toggle.
Bug: `agent/redact.py` snapshots `_REDACT_ENABLED` from the env var
`HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS` at module-import time. `hermes_cli/main.py` at
line ~174 calls `setup_logging(mode="cli")` which transitively imports
`agent.redact` — BEFORE any config bridge ran. So if a user set
`security.redact_secrets: false` in config.yaml (instead of as an env var
in .env), the toggle was silently ignored in both `hermes chat` and
`hermes gateway run`.
Fix: bridge `security.redact_secrets` from config.yaml → `HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS`
env var in `hermes_cli/main.py` BEFORE the `setup_logging()` call.
