By default Hermes cancels the in-flight turn when the user types during a run (interrupt). Flip the webtop first-boot seeded default to steer so a message typed while a turn is running is injected into the current run after the next tool call instead of killing it.

This is the gentler default the captain wants for the webtop. Valid values are interrupt|queue|steer; seed value was interrupt.

Changes the first-boot seeding block in docker/start-hermes.sh to add:

# default: a message typed while a turn is running steers into the run, not interrupt it
hermes config set display.busy_input_mode steer

immediately after the kanban.failure_limit 3 seeding line.

By default Hermes cancels the in-flight turn when the user types during a
run (interrupt). Flip the webtop first-boot seeded default to 'steer' so a
message typed while a turn is running is injected into the current run
after the next tool call instead of killing it. This is the gentler default
the captain wants for the webtop.

Valid values are interrupt|queue|steer; seed value was interrupt.
