Follow-up to the salvaged #110786 commit:
- `_is_bot_mode_session` mirrors the system-prompt gate (`agent._session_title_hint`
first, then the live DB title) instead of reading `pending_title`/`title` off the
session dict: `pending_title` is cleared after turn 1 and the record never carries
`title`, so the contributor's gate matched only the very first Bot Chat turn.
- `tools/bot_mode_dm.py::_run_local_turn` (the `hermes -p X chat -c "Bot Chat" -Q`
transport behind `message_agent` when no live owner holds the target) re-emits ""
for a successful bare marker — the third delivery path of the same class.
- Tests trimmed to one invariant per surface (live completion, relay RPC, one-shot
transport), each proven red on origin/main sources.
- Bot Mode docs gain a "Staying silent" line pointing at the shared token list.
