Teknium f24956ba12 fix(resume): redirect --resume to the descendant that actually holds the messages
When context compression fires mid-session, run_agent's _compress_context
ends the current session, creates a new child session linked by
parent_session_id, and resets the SQLite flush cursor. New messages land
in the child; the parent row ends up with message_count = 0. A user who
runs 'hermes --resume <original_id>' sees a blank chat even though the
transcript exists — just under a descendant id.

PR #12920 already fixed the exit banner to print the live descendant id
at session end, but that didn't help users who resume by a session id
captured BEFORE the banner update (scripts, sessions list, old terminal
scrollback) or who type the parent id manually.

Fix: add SessionDB.resolve_resume_session_id() which walks the
parent→child chain forward and returns the first descendant with at
least one message row. Wire it into all three resume entry points:

  - HermesCLI._preload_resumed_session() (early resume at run() time)
  - HermesCLI._init_agent() (the classical resume path)
  - /resume slash command

Semantics preserved when the chain has no descendants with messages,
when the requested session already has messages, or when the id is
unknown. A depth cap of 32 guards against malformed loops.

This does NOT concatenate the pre-compression parent transcript into
the child — the whole point of compression is to shrink that, so
replaying it would blow the cache budget we saved. We just jump to
the post-compression child. The summary already reflects what was
compressed away.

Tests: tests/hermes_state/test_resolve_resume_session_id.py covers
  - the exact 6-session shape from the issue
  - passthrough when session has messages / no descendants
  - passthrough for nonexistent / empty / None input
  - middle-of-chain redirects
  - fork resolution (prefers most-recent child)
