Brooklyn Nicholson b3daf1609c fix(installer): never let a stale --commit pin roll an install backwards
hermes-setup.exe bakes its build-time commit into the binary
(BUILD_PIN_COMMIT) and passes it as -Commit on every install-mode run,
including the retry the desktop's "Update didn't finish" screen kicks
off. The repository stage checked that SHA out unconditionally, so an
installer built months earlier rewound a current managed checkout to its
build commit -- 9,160 commits in the reported case -- leaving ancient
source against a current venv. npm then failed on workspaces that did not
exist yet at that commit, and every later update ran against the wrong
tree.

Skip the pin when its target is already an ancestor of HEAD. Fresh clones
have no such ancestry so reproducible/CI pinning is unchanged, and
--force-commit / -ForceCommit still rolls back on purpose.

"""Regression: a stale ``--commit`` pin must not roll an install backwards.
``hermes-setup.exe`` bakes its build-time commit into the binary
(``BUILD_PIN_COMMIT``) and passes it as ``-Commit`` / ``--commit`` on every
install-mode run — including the retry the desktop's "Update didn't finish"
screen kicks off. The repository stage used to ``git checkout --detach`` that
SHA unconditionally, so an installer built months earlier rewound a current
managed checkout to its build commit (observed: ~9k commits back), leaving
ancient source against a current venv — npm workspaces and Python deps that no
longer match, and every subsequent update failing against the wrong tree.
The pin is skipped when its target is already an ancestor of HEAD, unless the
caller explicitly passes ``--force-commit`` / ``-ForceCommit``. A fresh clone
has no such ancestry, so reproducible/CI pinning is unaffected.
``install.ps1`` carries the same guard (that is the path the Windows report
hit), but there is no PowerShell host in CI to execute it against a real repo,
and asserting on the script's *source text* would test its shape rather than
its behavior. These run the bash implementation of the same logic for real.
