fix(lint): skip per-file shell linter when LSP will handle the file (#29054)

* fix(lint): skip per-file shell linter when LSP will handle the file

`_check_lint` ran `npx tsc --noEmit FILE.ts` after every `.ts`/`.tsx`
edit. `tsc` ignores `tsconfig.json` when given an explicit file argument
(documented quirk) and defaults to no-lib / ES5, so every ES2015+ stdlib
reference reports as missing:

  - `Cannot find global value 'Promise'`
  - `Cannot find name 'Map' / 'Set' / 'ReadonlySet' / 'Iterable'`
  - `Property 'isFinite' does not exist on type 'NumberConstructor'`
  - `Module 'phaser' can only be default-imported using esModuleInterop`
  - `import.meta is only allowed when --module is es2020+`

On real TypeScript projects this floods the `lint` field on
WriteResult / PatchResult with up to 25K tokens of false positives
per edit. The delta filter in `_check_lint_delta` is supposed to mask
them, but a tiny edit shifts line numbers and every phantom resurfaces
as "introduced by this edit". The result is a 1MB+ phantom-error dump
on every patch that eats the agent's context budget. Same shape for
`.go` (`go vet` outside a module) and `.rs` (`rustfmt --check` outside
a Cargo project).

PR #24168 added an LSP tier on top of this — real `tsserver` / `gopls`
/ `rust-analyzer` diagnostics surface in the separate `lsp_diagnostics`
field. But the broken shell linter kept running underneath, so the
phantom-error dump kept happening even when LSP was giving us a clean
authoritative signal.

This change short-circuits the shell linter for the structurally-broken
extensions (`.ts`, `.tsx`, `.go`, `.rs`) when an LSP server is active
and claims the file via `LSPService.enabled_for(path)`. The LSP tier
runs as before and carries the real diagnostics in `lsp_diagnostics`.
Other shell linters (`py_compile`, `node --check`) keep running
unconditionally — they're fast, file-local, and correct.

Default behavior (LSP disabled, LSP misconfigured, remote backend, file
outside a workspace) is unchanged — the existing fallback paths trigger
when `_lsp_will_handle` returns False, so users who haven't opted into
LSP get the same shell-linter behavior they had before.

Drive-by: `.tsx` was missing from the `LINTERS` table entirely, so TS
React files got no post-edit syntax check at all. Added it for
symmetry; in practice it now hits the LSP-skip path.

Tests:
  - `tests/agent/lsp/test_shell_linter_lsp_skip.py` — 14 tests covering:
    * skip happens for each redundant extension when LSP claims the file
      (asserted by patching `_exec` to raise on any shell-linter call)
    * shell linter still runs when LSP is inactive (regression guard)
    * `.py` / `.js` continue to run unconditionally even with LSP active
    * `_lsp_will_handle` is exception-safe: returns False on None
      service, remote backend, or `enabled_for` raising
    * `.tsx` is in both `LINTERS` and `_SHELL_LINTER_LSP_REDUNDANT`
  - All pre-existing tests in `tests/agent/lsp/` and
    `tests/tools/test_file_operations*.py` still pass (233/233).

* fix(lint): address Copilot review on #29054

Two fixes from copilot-pull-request-reviewer on PR #29054:

1. `.tsx` regression with LSP disabled
   (https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/29054#discussion_r3271017282)

   The first revision added `.tsx` to the `LINTERS` table so that
   TypeScript React files would hit the LSP skip path. Side effect:
   when LSP is *disabled* (the default), `.tsx` edits would suddenly
   run `npx tsc --noEmit FILE.tsx` and inherit the same phantom-error
   dump this PR is supposed to fix. Pre-PR behavior was implicit
   `skipped` (no `LINTERS` entry); restore that.

   - Remove `.tsx` from `LINTERS`.
   - Remove `.tsx` from `_SHELL_LINTER_LSP_REDUNDANT` (the skip path
     is unreachable without a `LINTERS` entry — falls through to
     `ext not in LINTERS` first).
   - When LSP IS enabled, `.tsx` is still covered by the LSP tier
     via `_maybe_lsp_diagnostics` (typescript-language-server's
     `extensions` tuple includes `.tsx`), so the diagnostics still
     surface — just on the `lsp_diagnostics` channel, not `lint`.
   - Update test_shell_linter_lsp_skip.py to reflect this contract
     (drop `.tsx` from the parametrize lists; add
     `test_tsx_stays_out_of_linters_table_for_default_compatibility`
     and `test_tsx_default_check_lint_returns_skipped`).

2. V4A patches dropped `WriteResult.lsp_diagnostics`
   (https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/29054#discussion_r3271017295)

   `tools/patch_parser.py::apply_v4a_operations` calls
   `file_ops.write_file()` per operation, then calls `_check_lint()`
   directly afterwards — but never propagates `WriteResult.lsp_diagnostics`
   to the `PatchResult`. The shell-linter skip introduced in this PR
   makes the gap visible: a `.ts` / `.go` / `.rs` V4A patch with LSP
   active would return `lint = {f: {skipped: True}}` and zero
   diagnostics from any channel.

   - `_apply_add` and `_apply_update` now return
     `Tuple[bool, str, Optional[str]]` where the third element is
     `WriteResult.lsp_diagnostics` (or `None` on failure / no diags).
   - `_apply_delete` and `_apply_move` stay 2-tuples — they don't
     produce diagnostics, no write goes through `write_file`.
   - `apply_v4a_operations` accumulates per-file diagnostics blocks
     and surfaces a combined block on `PatchResult.lsp_diagnostics`.
     Each block already carries its `<diagnostics file="...">` header
     from `LSPService.report_for_file`, so concatenation preserves
     per-file attribution.

Tests added (`test_patch_parser.py::TestV4ALspDiagnosticsPropagation`):

- ADD op: `WriteResult.lsp_diagnostics` flows to `PatchResult`
- UPDATE op: same
- No diagnostics → `PatchResult.lsp_diagnostics is None` (not "")
- Multi-file patch: combined block contains every per-file block

Verification:

- Targeted test scope: 257/257 pass
  (tests/agent/lsp/, tests/tools/test_file_operations*.py,
  tests/tools/test_patch_parser.py)
- Wider sweep: 5400 pass; 11 failures all pre-existing on origin/main
  (file_staleness / file_read_guards / file_state_registry — unrelated
  macOS /var/folders tmp-path sensitivity issues, confirmed by
  re-running on a clean origin/main checkout)

* docs(test): align shell-linter LSP skip docstring with .tsx behavior

Copilot review feedback (review #4324947616, comment #3271049036):
the test module docstring still listed .tsx alongside .ts/.go/.rs in
the skip contract, but .tsx is now intentionally NOT in LINTERS or
_SHELL_LINTER_LSP_REDUNDANT. Updated the bullet list to drop .tsx from
the skip contract and added a paragraph documenting why .tsx is left
out (preserves pre-PR implicit-skip behavior for LSP-disabled users;
LSP coverage still happens via _maybe_lsp_diagnostics).

* test(lsp): drop unused tmp_path from _make_fops helper

Copilot review #3271069484: the helper accepted tmp_path but never
used it. Callers still need tmp_path themselves for the file they're
asserting against, so we just drop the helper's parameter.
