Teknium a9c78d0eb0 feat(setup): add recommendation badges to tool provider selection (#9929)
New users don't know which tool providers to pick during setup.
Add [badge] labels to each provider in the selection menu:

  - [★ recommended · free] for best default choices (Edge TTS, Local Browser)
  - [★ recommended] for top-tier paid options (Firecrawl Cloud)
  - [paid] for options requiring an API key
  - [free tier] for services with a free tier (Tavily)
  - [free · self-hosted] / [free · local] for self-run options
  - [subscription] for Nous subscription-managed options

Also improves vague tag descriptions — e.g. 'AI-native search and
contents' becomes 'Neural search with semantic understanding' and
Tavily gets '1000 free searches/mo'.

Both hermes setup and hermes tools share the same rendering path,
so badges appear in both flows.

Addresses user feedback about setup being confusing for newcomers.
