Hermes Blind reads the first user turn from this session's local JSONL log
and writes a compact, inspectable recovery anchor. It is deterministic,
makes no model calls, and sends no network requests
(https://github.com/hermes-labs-ai/hermes-blind).

1. Pick a runner: if `hermes-blind --help` works, use the bare `hermes-blind`
   command below. Otherwise prefer `uvx hermes-blind==0.3.2` (zero-install,
   no PATH changes) over `pipx install hermes-blind==0.3.2` unless the user
   wants it installed persistently. Keep the exact version pin on either so
   neither fetches an unreviewed newer release. Keep using whichever runner
   you picked for the rest of these steps — `uvx hermes-blind==0.3.2 --help`
   alone does not put `hermes-blind` on PATH.
2. Run from the session's working directory, substituting the current turn
   number and the runner from step 1 (`hermes-blind ...` or
