fix(gateway): use TERMINAL_CWD for context file discovery, not process cwd

Browse Source 
The gateway process runs from the hermes-agent install directory, so
os.getcwd() picks up the repo's AGENTS.md (16k chars) and other dev
context files — inflating input tokens by ~10k on every gateway message.

Fix: use TERMINAL_CWD (which the gateway sets to MESSAGING_CWD or
$HOME) as the cwd for build_context_files_prompt(). In CLI mode,
TERMINAL_CWD is the user's actual project directory, so behavior
is unchanged.

Before: gateway 15-20k input tokens, CLI 6-8k
After:  gateway ~6-8k input tokens (same as CLI)
