Teknium 8b6931393e Port from langchain-ai/deepagents#5829: confirm mid-session model switches that abandon a large cached context
Providers key prompt caches per model, so a mid-session /model switch makes
the next reply re-read the entire conversation at full input price. deepagents
gates user-initiated switches behind a confirmation once the active thread
exceeds a configurable token threshold; this ports the same protection into
Hermes' unified selection-guard registry so it renders on every surface at
once (CLI/TUI picker, gateway /model, Telegram/Discord pickers, dashboard).

- hermes_cli/model_selection_guards.py: new context_cache guard +
  SelectionContext carrier + selection_context_for_agent() helper;
  registry threads live-session facts to guards (6-arg signature with a
  TypeError fallback for externally patched 5-arg guards).
- config: model.switch_context_confirm_tokens (default 100000, 0 disables).
- cli.py / gateway/slash_commands.py / tui_gateway/server.py: thread the
  live agent's measured context into the guard call.
- docs: configuring-models.md mid-session switch section.
- tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_context_cache_switch_guard.py (13 cases).

"""Tests for the context-cache model-switch guard.
Ported from langchain-ai/deepagents#5829 ("confirm model switches with large
context"): a mid-session model switch abandons the provider prompt cache, so
the first call after the switch re-reads the whole conversation at full input
price. The guard asks for confirmation when the live session exceeds a
configurable token threshold.
