fix(egress): v3 round — GodsBoy/stephenschoettler/arshkumarsingh findings

GodsBoy 2nd-round P1 (all 4 addressed):
- _detect_docker_bridge_ip: replace `ip.count('.') == 3` heuristic with
  ipaddress.IPv4Address validation + reject unspecified/loopback/multicast/
  reserved/link-local/global addresses.  Hostile `ip` shim on PATH used to
  be able to inject 0.0.0.0 here and re-open INADDR_ANY binding.
- cmd_setup credential_source preservation: re-running `hermes egress
  setup` without --from-bitwarden no longer silently downgrades a previous
  bitwarden config back to env.  Require --no-bitwarden to switch
  explicitly; otherwise preserve the existing mode and surface the
  decision.
- fail_on_uncovered_providers docstring/default mismatch: docstring used
  to claim default=True; behavior was default=False.  Resolved by
  truth-in-advertising — docstring now correctly states default=False —
  AND splitting providers into a strict LLM-specific tier
  (_LLM_SPECIFIC_NON_BEARER_PROVIDERS, used by start blocking) and a
  generic uncovered tier (used by wizard warnings).  Generic cloud creds
  (AWS_*, GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS) no longer trip refuse-start
  for operators using terraform/gcloud alongside Hermes.  New
  discover_blocked_providers() returns the strict subset.
- start_proxy poll-loop must verify listening before pidfile:
  previously fell through deadline-expired as success and wrote a
  pidfile for a non-listening daemon.  Refactored into a do-while
  shape, require `listening=True` for success, kill the child + unlink
  the pidfile on failure paths.

GodsBoy 2nd-round P2 (the worth-keeping subset):
- O_NOFOLLOW + 0o600 + st_uid check on iron-proxy.log open (symmetric
  with the pidfile and audit-log paths the same PR hardens).
- pidfile O_EXCL: refactored pidfile-write into _write_pidfile_safely
  which uses O_EXCL to detect concurrent starts.  EEXIST with a live
  pid means "another start in progress" — refuse with actionable
  message; EEXIST with a dead pid means "stale crash" — unlink and
  retry once.  Discriminates rather than racing.
- _VERSION_CACHE: invalidate on install_iron_proxy success;
  don't cache empty stdout (would poison `hermes egress status` for
  the lifetime of the process if first probe hit a corrupt binary).
- ensure_audit_log now RAISES on OSError instead of swallowing it as
  a warning.  Previous behavior let the daemon create the file under
  the default umask, exactly the world-readable scenario the helper
  was built to prevent.  cmd_setup catches the new RuntimeError and
  surfaces "✗" with the actionable message.
- SIGINT/SIGTERM handler scoped around the start_proxy poll loop:
  Ctrl-C while waiting for `hermes egress start` no longer leaks an
  orphan daemon with the port bound.  Handler kills the child +
  unlinks the pidfile before re-raising.
- pidfile written IMMEDIATELY after Popen, BEFORE the listening
  verification.  Parent dying during the poll loop now leaves a
  pidfile pointing at the orphan so the next `hermes egress stop` can
  clean up.  Failure paths in the poll loop explicitly unlink.
- _DEFAULT_UPSTREAM_DENY_CIDRS: add ::ffff:0:0/96 (IPv4-mapped IPv6 —
  closes the v6-resolved IMDS bypass), 100.64.0.0/10 (CGNAT / cloud
  overlays / K8s pod networks), 198.18.0.0/15 (RFC2544 benchmark).
- _NON_BEARER_PROVIDERS split into LLM-specific (Anthropic / Azure /
  Gemini — block when strict) vs generic-cloud (AWS_*, GCP appdefault
  — warn-only).
- docker.py except narrowing: load_config can raise yaml.YAMLError on
  a malformed config.yaml, not just ImportError.  Two callsites
  (collision check + precedence resolution) now catch yaml.YAMLError
  via a sentinel `import yaml` and fail-safe to enforced mode.

GodsBoy 2nd-round P3:
- _reset_for_tests: was a no-op claiming symmetry with bitwarden;
  now actually clears _VERSION_CACHE and _proxy_nonce so in-process
  callers (notebooks, pytest -p no:xdist) don't see state leakage.
- tests/test_iron_proxy_cli.py: replaced hardcoded Path("/tmp/...")
  with hermes_home/-derived fixtures.  Matches the same cleanup we
  did for test_iron_proxy.py in the previous round.
- --rotate-tokens confirmation gate: when there are existing tokens,
  prompt for "rotate" confirmation (skipped when stdin isn't a tty
  so CI/scripted use still works) AND back up the mappings to a
  timestamped sibling before overwriting.  Surface a no-op note when
  rotate is requested with no existing tokens.

stephenschoettler (runtime-boundary review):
- #1 BWS silent degrade at proxy start: when credential_source=bitwarden
  but the BWS access token or project_id is missing OR the fetch
  returns no values for mapped providers, raise instead of silently
  falling back to host env.  cmd_start also pre-checks at the wizard
  layer for actionable error messages.  Opt-in escape hatch via new
  `proxy.allow_env_fallback: true` config for migration scenarios.
- #2 docker_env collision detection extended: `docker_env:
  {OPENROUTER_API_KEY: sk-real}` in config.yaml with enforce_on_docker:
  true now raises just like an HTTPS_PROXY collision would.  The
  collision check pulls mapped provider names from load_mappings() at
  call time.
- #3 PID nonce persisted to disk: cross-CLI-invocation stale-pidfile
  defense now works.  start_proxy writes the nonce next to the pidfile
  (sibling 0o600), stop_proxy reads it back via _read_persisted_nonce()
  and uses it as a _pid_alive signal in the new process.  Falls back
  to argv0 basename matching when the file is missing (legacy install).

arshkumarsingh:
- #1 NODE_OPTIONS append-merge: egress dict no longer sets NODE_OPTIONS
  directly (would clobber the operator's --max-old-space-size etc.).
  Carry the egress flag in a sentinel key
  _HERMES_EGRESS_NODE_OPTIONS_APPEND; DockerEnvironment merges into the
  existing NODE_OPTIONS in env_args computation with de-duplication.
- #2 docs: structured per-request audit log is at audit.log, not
  iron-proxy.log (the latter is daemon stdout/stderr).  Diagram and
  step-7 text corrected; both file roles are now documented separately.

Tests
- Added 12 new tests in test_iron_proxy.py covering bridge-IP rejection
  (parametrized over 8 dangerous inputs), default deny-list adjacency
  (IPv4-mapped-v6 + CGNAT), blocked-providers strict-subset property,
  _pid_proc_starttime parser with paren-containing comm,
  stop_proxy SIGKILL suppression on starttime drift, _reset_for_tests
  clear behavior, iron_proxy_version don't-cache-empty, NODE_OPTIONS
  sentinel verification, ensure_audit_log raise-on-OSError, and
  persisted-nonce roundtrip.
- Added 1 new test in test_iron_proxy_cli.py covering cmd_start
  BWS-token-missing fail-loud.
- All 100 tests in test_iron_proxy + test_iron_proxy_cli pass; all 78
  tests in test_docker_environment + test_config still pass.

Acknowledged but not addressed:
- GodsBoy P3 dead-code `extra_env` kwarg: kept (removing is a breaking
  change for any out-of-tree caller; the kwarg is documented and works).
- Residual risks GodsBoy called out: iron-proxy in-memory secret
  zeroisation (Go-binary territory, out of scope); _PROXY_SUBPROCESS_ENV
  _ALLOWLIST cosmetic gaps (RUST_LOG, GOMAXPROCS); follow-up.
