Brooklyn Nicholson dff491a2b9 feat(cli): add headless hermes serve backend; desktop no longer launches dashboard
The desktop app spawned `hermes dashboard --no-open` as its backend, which
made the dashboard look like a desktop prerequisite. Add a dedicated headless
`hermes serve` command that boots the same gateway (shared cmd_dashboard /
start_server) but never opens a browser, and point the desktop backend spawn
exclusively at it. dashboard and serve are now independent surfaces — neither
launches the other.

- subcommands/dashboard.py: factor shared server args; add `serve` parser
  (always headless; accepts legacy --no-open as a no-op)
- main.py: register serve in _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS + coalesce set + gui-log
  detection; extend stale-backend reaper patterns to match `serve`
- desktop electron: spawn `serve`, rename dashboardArgs -> backendArgs,
  update comments + windows-child-process test assertions
- docs: desktop README, desktop.md (incl. remote-backend), AGENTS.md, and
  cli-commands.md now describe `hermes serve` as the desktop/headless backend
