"""Fold an agent-as-provider's own activity back into Hermes' turn state. Some providers are *agents* (an ACP CLI behind a client shim; the codex app-server takes an analogous path in ``agent/codex_runtime.py``): they run their own tools inside their own session, so by the time Hermes sees the response that work is done. Those calls must never come back as pending ``tool_calls`` (Hermes would re-run finished work), but two subsystems go blind if they are merely summarised into ``reasoning``: * the **self-improvement loop**, which replays ``messages`` to distil memories and skills; * the **skill-review nudge**, whose ``_iters_since_skill`` counter only moves on Hermes tool iterations. So the client hands both back on the completion object — ``hermes_projected_messages`` (completed ``assistant(tool_calls=[…])`` + ``tool(result)`` rows) and ``hermes_provider_tool_iterations`` — and this helper applies them. Ordinary OpenAI-compatible clients set neither and are unaffected. The splice is append-only through ``append_message`` so rows carry a timestamp and persist like any other live-transcript append.
