Subject: [PATCH] fix(hermes): save intro message to history and prevent
 regeneration

- Only generate intro message when no conversation history exists
- Save generated intro to chatHistory so it persists across modal opens
- Set up page context when loading existing conversation history
- Prevent intro from being regenerated every time modal opens
- Intro message now properly saved and reused like other messages
