Slash Commands (In-Session)

Registry of record: hermes_cli/commands.py (COMMAND_REGISTRY) — every consumer (autocomplete, /help, Telegram menu, Slack mapping) derives from it. New commands land often; /help in-session is always authoritative. (CLI) = interactive CLI/TUI only. (GW) = gateway platforms only.
