fix(photon): support immutable install trees for the sidecar (NS-606)

The Photon iMessage sidecar needs node_modules under
plugins/platforms/photon/sidecar/, but hosted/managed images keep the
whole install tree under an immutable /opt/hermes — every install and
self-heal path (setup CLI, stale-deps reinstall, cold install) died on
EROFS, and hosted users have no shell to work around it.

Three-layer fix, mirroring the WhatsApp bridge resolver pattern:

1. Bake the deps into the image. The Dockerfile now runs npm ci for the
   sidecar in the layer-cached dependency stage (deterministic installs
   from the committed lockfile; the postinstall spectrum-ts patch runs
   at build time). Hosted happy path needs no runtime install at all.

2. New sidecar_paths.resolve_sidecar_dir() decides where the sidecar
   runs from: PHOTON_SIDECAR_DIR override > writable source dir (dev
   installs, unchanged) > read-only dir with baked fresh deps (managed
   image) > mirror to $HERMES_HOME/photon/sidecar (writable data
   volume) when deps are missing or stale in a read-only tree. The
   mirror refreshes changed source files on image updates while
   keeping node_modules, so the existing lockfile-staleness self-heal
   works there.

3. connect() can now cold-install: _start_sidecar() runs the bounded
   npm ci bootstrap when node_modules is missing instead of raising
   immediately, and check_requirements() reports available when a
   self-install is possible (npm present + writable resolved dir) so
   the gateway actually creates the adapter on hosted instances. A
   failed bootstrap still raises the actionable error, which connect()
   surfaces as the retryable SIDECAR_FAILED fatal state on the
   dashboard.

Tests: resolver decision table (env override, in-place, mirror,
refresh, fail-open), cold-install lifecycle paths, and a Dockerfile
contract test guarding the baked-deps + no-chown invariants.

Fixes NS-606.

"""
Resolve where the Photon sidecar runs from and where its Node deps live.
The sidecar source ships inside the installed plugin tree
(``plugins/platforms/photon/sidecar/``). On dev/source installs that tree is
writable and everything ``npm ci``, the spectrum patch, the sidecar itself
happens in place. Hosted/managed images instead keep the whole install tree
under an immutable ``/opt/hermes`` (read-only for the hermes user), which
broke every install/self-heal path with EROFS (NS-606).
Resolution order (mirrors ``resolve_whatsapp_bridge_dir`` for the Baileys
bridge, which hit the same wall):
1. ``PHOTON_SIDECAR_DIR`` env override operator escape hatch, used as-is.
2. Source dir writable run in place (dev installs, unchanged behavior).
3. Source dir read-only but ``node_modules`` is baked and current run in
place. This is the managed-image happy path: the Dockerfile bakes the
sidecar deps with ``npm ci`` at build time (deterministic installs,
NS-559), so no runtime install is ever needed.
4. Source dir read-only and deps missing or stale mirror the sidecar
source files to ``$HERMES_HOME/photon/sidecar`` (the durable data volume,
e.g. ``/opt/data`` on hosted) and return that. The caller's normal
install/self-heal machinery then works there because it is writable.
The mirror is refreshed on every resolve: when an image update changes a
sidecar source file, the changed file is re-copied (content compare, not
mtime) while ``node_modules`` is left in place the adapter's existing
lockfile-vs-install-marker staleness check then triggers the ``npm ci``
self-heal inside the mirror.
This module is import-light on purpose: both ``adapter.py`` (gateway) and
``cli.py`` (``hermes photon ...``) use it.
