A DM relayed from another Hermes profile ran as a turn in the recipient's
Bot Chat session. sync_turn wrote the bot's words and the recipient's reply
into that session, and before per-author writes they landed under the
human's peer. The human's representation absorbed conversations the human
never had.
The turn context now marks such turns with scope a2a:<bot id>.
sync_turn routes a bot-authored turn into a separate Honcho session keyed
<session>:a2a:<sanitized bot id>, created with the sender bot as its user
peer, and never writes it into the human's session. The key is deterministic
so every turn from the same bot reaches the same session, and it stays
inside Honcho's 100 character session id limit. Recall still reads the
human's session only.
a2aSessions (host block, then root, default true) turns the routing on.
With it off, bot-authored turns are skipped. A bot turn that names no
author id is skipped as well, because nothing can key its session. Human
turns are unchanged.
get_or_create takes a user_peer_id override so the a2a session's roster is
the bot and the assistant, not the runtime human.
