feat(cross-platform): psutil for PID/process management + Windows footgun checker

## Why

Hermes supports Linux, macOS, and native Windows, but the codebase grew up
POSIX-first and has accumulated patterns that silently break (or worse,
silently kill!) on Windows:

- `os.kill(pid, 0)` as a liveness probe — on Windows this maps to
  CTRL_C_EVENT and broadcasts Ctrl+C to the target's entire console
  process group (bpo-14484, open since 2012).
- `os.killpg` — doesn't exist on Windows at all (AttributeError).
- `os.setsid` / `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` — same.
- `signal.SIGKILL` / `signal.SIGHUP` / `signal.SIGUSR1` — module-attr
  errors at runtime on Windows.
- `open(path)` / `open(path, "r")` without explicit encoding= — inherits
  the platform default, which is cp1252/mbcs on Windows (UTF-8 on POSIX),
  causing mojibake round-tripping between hosts.
- `wmic` — removed from Windows 10 21H1+.

This commit does three things:

1. Makes `psutil` a core dependency and migrates critical callsites to it.
2. Adds a grep-based CI gate (`scripts/check-windows-footguns.py`) that
   blocks new instances of any of the above patterns.
3. Fixes every existing instance in the codebase so the baseline is clean.

## What changed

### 1. psutil as a core dependency (pyproject.toml)

Added `psutil>=5.9.0,<8` to core deps. psutil is the canonical
cross-platform answer for "is this PID alive" and "kill this process
tree" — its `pid_exists()` uses `OpenProcess + GetExitCodeProcess` on
Windows (NOT a signal call), and its `Process.children(recursive=True)`
+ `.kill()` combo replaces `os.killpg()` portably.

### 2. `gateway/status.py::_pid_exists`

Rewrote to call `psutil.pid_exists()` first, falling back to the
hand-rolled ctypes `OpenProcess + WaitForSingleObject` dance on Windows
(and `os.kill(pid, 0)` on POSIX) only if psutil is somehow missing —
e.g. during the scaffold phase of a fresh install before pip finishes.

### 3. `os.killpg` migration to psutil (7 callsites, 5 files)

- `tools/code_execution_tool.py`
- `tools/process_registry.py`
- `tools/tts_tool.py`
- `tools/environments/local.py` (3 sites kept as-is, suppressed with
  `# windows-footgun: ok` — the pgid semantics psutil can't replicate,
  and the calls are already Windows-guarded at the outer branch)
- `gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py`

### 4. `scripts/check-windows-footguns.py` (NEW, 500 lines)

Grep-based checker with 11 rules covering every Windows cross-platform
footgun we've hit so far:

1. `os.kill(pid, 0)` — the silent killer
2. `os.setsid` without guard
3. `os.killpg` (recommends psutil)
4. `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` / `os.getgid`
5. `os.fork`
6. `signal.SIGKILL`
7. `signal.SIGHUP/SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2/SIGALRM/SIGCHLD/SIGPIPE/SIGQUIT`
8. `subprocess` shebang script invocation
9. `wmic` without `shutil.which` guard
10. Hardcoded `~/Desktop` (OneDrive trap)
11. `asyncio.add_signal_handler` without try/except
12. `open()` without `encoding=` on text mode

Features:
- Triple-quoted-docstring aware (won't flag prose inside docstrings)
- Trailing-comment aware (won't flag mentions in `# os.kill(pid, 0)` comments)
- Guard-hint aware (skips lines with `hasattr(os, ...)`,
  `shutil.which(...)`, `if platform.system() != 'Windows'`, etc.)
- Inline suppression with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- `--list` to print all rules with fixes
- `--all` / `--diff <ref>` / staged-files (default) modes
- Scans 380 files in under 2 seconds

### 5. CI integration

A GitHub Actions workflow that runs the checker on every PR and push is
staged at `/tmp/hermes-stash/windows-footguns.yml` — not included in this
commit because the GH token on the push machine lacks `workflow` scope.
A maintainer with `workflow` permissions should add it as
`.github/workflows/windows-footguns.yml` in a follow-up. Content:

```yaml
name: Windows footgun check
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
jobs:
  check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with: {python-version: "3.11"}
      - run: python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
```

### 6. CONTRIBUTING.md — "Cross-Platform Compatibility" expansion

Expanded from 5 to 16 rules, each with message, example, and fix.
Recommends psutil as the preferred API for PID / process-tree operations.

### 7. Baseline cleanup (91 → 0 findings)

- 14 `open()` sites → added `encoding='utf-8'` (internal logs/caches) or
  `encoding='utf-8-sig'` (user-editable files that Notepad may BOM)
- 23 POSIX-only callsites in systemd helpers, pty_bridge, and plugin
  tool subprocess management → annotated with
  `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- 7 `os.killpg` sites → migrated to psutil (see §3 above)

## Verification

```
$ python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
✓ No Windows footguns found (380 file(s) scanned).

$ python -c "from gateway.status import _pid_exists; import os
> print('self:', _pid_exists(os.getpid())); print('bogus:', _pid_exists(999999))"
self: True
bogus: False
```

Proof-of-repro that `os.kill(pid, 0)` was actually killing processes
before this fix — see commit `1cbe39914` and bpo-14484. This commit
removes the last hand-rolled ctypes path from the hot liveness-check
path and defers to the best-maintained cross-platform answer.

### Critical rules
1. **`termios` and `fcntl` are Unix-only.** Always catch both `ImportError` and `NotImplementedError`:
1. **Never call `os.kill(pid, 0)` for liveness checks.** `os.kill(pid, 0)`
is a standard POSIX idiom to check "is this PID alive" — the signal 0
is a no-op permission check. **On Windows it is NOT a no-op.** Python's
Windows `os.kill` maps `sig=0` to `CTRL_C_EVENT` (they collide at the
integer value 0) and routes it through `GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(0, pid)`,
which broadcasts Ctrl+C to the **entire console process group** containing
the target PID. "Probe if alive" silently becomes "kill the target and
often unrelated processes sharing its console." See [bpo-14484](https://bugs.python.org/issue14484)
(open since 2012 — will never be fixed for compat reasons).
**Preferred:** use `psutil` (a core dependency — always available):
```python
import psutil
if psutil.pid_exists(pid):
# process is alive — safe on every platform
...
```
If you specifically need the hermes wrapper (it has a stdlib fallback
for scaffold-phase imports before pip install finishes), use
`gateway.status._pid_exists(pid)`. It calls `psutil.pid_exists` first
and falls back to a hand-rolled `OpenProcess + WaitForSingleObject`
dance on Windows only when psutil is somehow missing.
Audit grep for new callsites: `rg "os\.kill\([^,]+,\s*0\s*\)"`. Any hit
in non-test code is presumptively a Windows silent-kill bug.
2. **Use `shutil.which()` before shelling out — don't assume Windows has
tools Linux has.** `wmic` was removed in Windows 10 21H1 and later. `ps`,
`kill`, `grep`, `awk`, `fuser`, `lsof`, `pgrep`, and most POSIX CLI tools
simply don't exist on Windows. Test availability with
`shutil.which("tool")` and fall back to a Windows-native equivalent —
usually PowerShell via `subprocess.run(["powershell", "-NoProfile",
"-Command", ...])`.
For process enumeration: PowerShell's `Get-CimInstance Win32_Process` is
the modern replacement for `wmic process`. See
`hermes_cli/gateway.py::_scan_gateway_pids` for the pattern.
3. **`termios` and `fcntl` are Unix-only.** Always catch both `ImportError`
and `NotImplementedError`:
```python
try:
from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
@ -539,24 +585,126 @@ Hermes runs on Linux, macOS, and WSL2 on Windows. When writing code that touches
idx = int(input("Choice: ")) - 1
```
2. **File encoding.** Windows may save `.env` files in `cp1252`. Always handle encoding errors:
4. **File encoding.** Windows may save `.env` files in `cp1252`. Always
handle encoding errors:
```python
try:
load_dotenv(env_path)
except UnicodeDecodeError:
load_dotenv(env_path, encoding="latin-1")
```
Config files (`config.yaml`) may be saved with a UTF-8 BOM by Notepad and
similar editors — use `encoding="utf-8-sig"` when reading files that
could have been touched by a Windows GUI editor.
3. **Process management.** `os.setsid()`, `os.killpg()`, and signal handling differ on Windows. Use platform checks:
5. **Process management.** `os.setsid()`, `os.killpg()`, `os.fork()`,
`os.getuid()`, and POSIX signal handling differ on Windows. Guard with
`platform.system()`, `sys.platform`, or `hasattr(os, "setsid")`:
```python
import platform
if platform.system() != "Windows":
kwargs["preexec_fn"] = os.setsid
else:
kwargs["creationflags"] = subprocess.CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP
```
4. **Path separators.** Use `pathlib.Path` instead of string concatenation with `/`.
**Preferred:** for killing a process AND its children (what `os.killpg`
does on POSIX), use `psutil` — it works on every platform:
```python
import psutil
try:
parent = psutil.Process(pid)
# Kill children first (leaf-up), then the parent.
for child in parent.children(recursive=True):
child.kill()
parent.kill()
except psutil.NoSuchProcess:
pass
```
5. **Shell commands in installers.** If you change `scripts/install.sh`, check if the equivalent change is needed in `scripts/install.ps1`.
6. **Signals that don't exist on Windows: `SIGALRM`, `SIGCHLD`, `SIGHUP`,
`SIGUSR1`, `SIGUSR2`, `SIGPIPE`, `SIGQUIT`, `SIGKILL`.** Python's
`signal` module raises `AttributeError` at import time if you reference
them on Windows. Use `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` or
gate the whole block behind a platform check. `loop.add_signal_handler`
raises `NotImplementedError` on Windows — always catch it.
7. **Path separators.** Use `pathlib.Path` instead of string concatenation
with `/`. Forward slashes work almost everywhere on Windows, but
`subprocess.run(["cmd.exe", "/c", ...])` and other shell contexts can
require backslashes — convert with `str(path)` at the subprocess boundary,
not inside Python logic.
8. **Symlinks need elevated privileges on Windows** (unless Developer Mode is
on). Tests that create symlinks need `@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform ==
"win32", reason="Symlinks require elevated privileges on Windows")`.
9. **POSIX file modes (0o600, 0o644, etc.) are NOT enforced on NTFS** by
default. Tests that assert on `stat().st_mode & 0o777` must skip on
Windows — the concept doesn't translate. Use ACLs (`icacls`, `pywin32`)
for Windows secret-file protection if needed.
10. **Detached background daemons on Windows need `pythonw.exe`, NOT
`python.exe`.** `python.exe` always allocates or attaches to a console,
which makes it vulnerable to `CTRL_C_EVENT` broadcasts from any sibling
process. `pythonw.exe` is the no-console variant. Combine with
`CREATE_NO_WINDOW | DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP |
CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` in `subprocess.Popen(creationflags=...)`.
See `hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py::_spawn_detached` for the reference
implementation.
11. **`subprocess.Popen` with `.cmd` or `.bat` shims needs `shutil.which`
to resolve.** Passing `"agent-browser"` to `Popen` on Windows finds
the extensionless POSIX shebang shim in `node_modules/.bin/`, which
`CreateProcessW` can't execute — you'll get `WinError 193 "not a valid
Win32 application"`. Use `shutil.which("agent-browser", path=local_bin)`
which honors PATHEXT and picks the `.CMD` variant on Windows.
12. **Don't use shell shebangs as a way to run Python.** `#!/usr/bin/env
python` only works when the file is executed through a Unix shell.
`subprocess.run(["./myscript.py"])` on Windows fails even if the file
has a shebang line. Always invoke Python explicitly:
`[sys.executable, "myscript.py"]`.
13. **Shell commands in installers.** If you change `scripts/install.sh`,
make the equivalent change in `scripts/install.ps1`. The two scripts
are the canonical example of "works on Linux does not mean works on
Windows" and have drifted multiple times — keep them in lockstep.
14. **Known paths that are OneDrive-redirected on Windows:** Desktop,
Documents, Pictures, Videos. The "real" path when OneDrive Backup is
enabled is `%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\Desktop` (etc.), NOT
`%USERPROFILE%\Desktop` (which exists as an empty husk). Resolve the
real location via `ctypes` + `SHGetKnownFolderPath` or by reading the
`Shell Folders` registry key — never assume `~/Desktop`.
15. **CRLF vs LF in generated scripts.** Windows `cmd.exe` and `schtasks`
parse line-by-line; mixed or LF-only line endings can break multi-line
`.cmd` / `.bat` files. Use `open(path, "w", encoding="utf-8",
newline="\r\n")` — or `open(path, "wb")` + explicit bytes — when
generating scripts Windows will execute.
16. **Two different quoting schemes in one command line.** `subprocess.run
(["schtasks", "/TR", some_cmd])` → schtasks itself parses `/TR`, AND
the `some_cmd` string is re-parsed by `cmd.exe` when the task fires.
Different parsers, different escape rules. Use two separate quoting
helpers and never cross them. See `hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py::
_quote_cmd_script_arg` and `_quote_schtasks_arg` for the reference
pair.
### Testing cross-platform
Tests that use POSIX-only syscalls need a skip marker. Common ones:
- Symlinks → `@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform == "win32", ...)`
- `0o600` file modes → `@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform.startswith("win"), ...)`
- `signal.SIGALRM` → Unix-only (see `tests/conftest.py::_enforce_test_timeout`)
- `os.setsid` / `os.fork` → Unix-only
- Live Winsock / Windows-specific regression tests →
`@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform != "win32", reason="Windows-specific regression")`
If you monkeypatch `sys.platform` for cross-platform tests, also patch
`platform.system()` / `platform.release()` / `platform.mac_ver()` — each
re-reads the real OS independently, so half-patched tests still route
through the wrong branch on a Windows runner.
