- PR #90620: fix(cli): flag a configured TTS provider whose SDK is missing in status

These items address a gap where selecting a TTS provider with a missing SDK fails silently and reports a healthy status. The work adds validation and visible flagging of missing TTS SDKs in the hermes status command.
