Tranquil-Flow 15880da8bb fix(file_tools): resolve tilde using profile home for file operations (#48552)
File tools (read_file, write_file, patch, list_directory, etc.) used
os.path.expanduser() which reads the gateway process HOME env var.
In Docker/systemd/s6 deployments where the gateway HOME differs from
interactive sessions, tilde expanded to the wrong directory.

Add _expand_tilde() helper that delegates to get_subprocess_home() when
available, falling back to os.path.expanduser(). Replace all 9
expanduser() call sites in file_tools.py with _expand_tilde().

"""Regression tests for profile-aware tilde expansion in file tools.
The bug (#48552): in-process file tools (write_file, read_file, patch,
search_files) resolved ``~`` via ``os.path.expanduser()``, which reads the
gateway process's ``HOME``. In profile mode (Docker, systemd, s6) the gateway
``HOME`` differs from the profile ``HOME`` that interactive sessions use, so
``~`` expanded to the wrong directory and file operations failed with
"no such file or directory".
The fix adds ``_expand_tilde()`` which delegates to
``hermes_constants.get_subprocess_home()`` — the same policy the terminal tool
uses for subprocess environments.
