feat(docker)!: replace tini with s6-overlay as PID 1

BREAKING CHANGE: the container ENTRYPOINT is now /init (s6-overlay)
instead of /usr/bin/tini. Main hermes runs as the container CMD with
TTY inherited (preserving --tui), dashboard runs as a supervised s6-rc
service (HERMES_DASHBOARD=1 starts it; crashes auto-restart), and the
ground is laid for per-profile gateway supervision (Phase 3+4).

All five pre-s6 docker run invocation patterns continue to work
identically — verified by the Phase 0 docker harness:

  docker run <image>                  → `hermes` with no args
  docker run <image> chat -q "..."    → `hermes chat -q ...` passthrough
  docker run <image> sleep infinity   → `sleep infinity` direct
  docker run <image> bash             → interactive bash
  docker run -it <image> --tui        → interactive Ink TUI

Phase 2 harness result: 12 passed, 2 xfailed (Phase 4 target). Hadolint
+ shellcheck pass cleanly.

Architecture pivot from plan v3 (documented in main-hermes/run header):
the plan called for main hermes to be an s6-supervised service, but
two real s6-overlay v3 mechanics blocked that — cont-init.d scripts
receive no arguments (CMD args are not visible to stage2-hook), and
`/run/s6/basedir/bin/halt` after writing the exit code did not
propagate the desired exit code (container exits 143). We use the
s6-overlay-native CMD pattern instead: main-wrapper.sh is the
container's main program (ENTRYPOINT prepends it so leading-dash
args like --version aren't intercepted by /init), exec's the final
program with stdin/stdout/stderr inherited, and the program's exit
code becomes the container exit code. main-hermes is now a no-op
`sleep infinity` slot kept for future supervised-gateway-container
modes. This trades "supervised restart of main hermes" for arg-
parity with the pre-s6 contract — main hermes was already unsupervised
under tini, so we lose nothing functional. Dashboard supervision is
the only new guarantee added by this phase.

Files added:
  docker/main-wrapper.sh           # arg routing + s6-setuidgid drop
  docker/stage2-hook.sh            # gosu-equivalent + chown + seed
  docker/s6-rc.d/main-hermes/{type,run,dependencies.d/base}
  docker/s6-rc.d/dashboard/{type,run,dependencies.d/base}
  docker/s6-rc.d/user/contents.d/{main-hermes,dashboard}

Files changed:
  Dockerfile: tini → s6-overlay install + ENTRYPOINT flip + service wiring
  docker/entrypoint.sh: thin shim to stage2-hook.sh for back-compat
  tests/docker/test_dashboard.py: add test_dashboard_restarts_after_crash

# s6-overlay's /init is PID 1. It sets up the supervision tree, runs
# /etc/cont-init.d/* (our stage2 hook), starts s6-rc services
# declared in /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/, then exec's its remaining
# argv as the container's "main program" with stdin/stdout/stderr
# inherited (this is what makes interactive --tui work). When the
# main program exits, /init begins stage 3 shutdown and the container
# exits with the program's exit code. Replaces tini — see Phase 2 of

# We use the ENTRYPOINT+CMD split rather than CMD alone so the

# docker run <image> → /init main-wrapper.sh (CMD default)
# docker run <image> chat -q "hi" → /init main-wrapper.sh chat -q hi
# docker run <image> sleep infinity → /init main-wrapper.sh sleep infinity
# docker run <image> --tui → /init main-wrapper.sh --tui
#
# main-wrapper.sh handles arg routing (bare-exec vs. hermes
# subcommand vs. no-args), drops to the hermes user via s6-setuidgid,
# and exec's the final program so its exit code becomes the container
# exit code. Without the wrapper-as-ENTRYPOINT, leading-dash args
# like `--version` would be intercepted by /init's POSIX shell.
