[Bug]: hermes tools does not show cron platform

[idan]

Bug Description

When I run hermes tools, I expect to see the cron platform listed in the curses UI. The documentation says that this should work, but it doesn't.

If I run hermes tools list --platform cron then it does display the platform tools.

Steps to Reproduce

1. run hermes tools
2. expect to see the cron platform in addition to other platforms I have configured
3. it isn't there

Expected Behavior

cron platform tools should be configurable via the curses UI as documented

Actual Behavior

It only displays other platforms I have configured: CLI, Discord, and global

Affected Component

Configuration (config.yaml, .env, hermes setup)

Messaging Platform (if gateway-related)

N/A (CLI only)

Summary

Three PRs address #51771 by adding cron to _get_enabled_platforms(), which supplies the interactive platform picker; #51780 also adds regression coverage, while #51847 bundles unrelated Hindsight changes. The platform-registry addition in #51780 is redundant because cron is already registered on current main.

Related pull requests

• fix: show cron in tools platform menu #51780 best fix — (+12/-3) — best fix, needs rebase/scope cleanup: It fixes the reported menu omission by treating cron as always local and adds a focused regression test covering menu availability and toolset resolution. Consistent with the keep_open review on fix: show cron in tools platform menu #51780, retain the helper and test changes but drop the redundant, conflicting PLATFORMS registration hunk because current main already registers cron.
• fix(cli): include cron platform in hermes tools UI #51789 fixes — (+1/-1) — fixes, but superseded by fix: show cron in tools platform menu #51780: Its one-line change directly corrects the root cause by adding cron to _get_enabled_platforms(), but it lacks the requested docstring update and direct regression test. Despite the keep_open review on fix(cli): include cron platform in hermes tools UI #51789, its functional diff is already contained in fix: show cron in tools platform menu #51780, whose focused test makes it the stronger consolidation target.
• fix(cli): list 'cron' platform in hermes tools curses UI (#51771) #51847 [closed] fixes — (+370/-29) — fixes, closed duplicate with scope creep: Its cron-specific change uses the same _get_enabled_platforms() fix as fix(cli): include cron platform in hermes tools UI #51789 and fix: show cron in tools platform menu #51780, but most of the diff is unrelated Hindsight configuration code and tests. It remains relevant as confirmation of the same root cause, but closure was appropriate because the focused fix is available elsewhere and the Hindsight work is tracked separately in fix(memory/hindsight): make HINDSIGHT_* env vars overlay config.json (#51166) #51375.

Duplicates

#51780, #51789, and the cron-specific portion of #51847 implement the same essential change: include cron unconditionally in _get_enabled_platforms(). #51789 is fully subsumed by #51780; #51847 additionally contains unrelated Hindsight work.

Suggested consolidation

Merge #51780 after rebasing, removing the redundant hermes_cli/platforms.py registration edit, and retaining its focused regression test. Close #51789 as superseded by #51780 despite its keep_open review, because the effective one-line fix is identical and #51780 supplies the requested coverage; keep #51847 closed as a duplicate whose unrelated Hindsight changes belong in #51375.
