coerce_tool_args only repaired the outermost value, so JSON-encoded
*elements* of array properties (and nested object sub-fields) were left
as strings. Three core tools have array<object> schemas — todo.todos,
delegate_task.tasks, memory.operations — so a model emitting
{"todos": ["{...}"]} would pass raw JSON strings into the tool and fail
downstream on item["id"]/item["goal"] access.
Adds a schema-guided recursive pass (_normalize_json_strings_for_schema)
that parses JSON-string array items and nested object fields only when
the matching schema position expects an array/object, preserving
legitimate JSON-looking string fields (type: string).
Adapted from cline/cline#11803 to hermes-agent's existing coercion layer.
