fix(gateway,windows): reliability — JOB breakaway + status --deep probes + test-leak fix (#40909)
* fix(gateway,windows): reliability — supervisor task, JOB breakaway, status --deep

Three coordinated fixes for the Windows gateway reliability story:

1. CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB on every detached spawn

   The 'hermes update' triggered from the Electron Desktop GUI ran inside
   Electron's job object. Without breakaway, the post-update gateway
   watcher spawned by update — already DETACHED_PROCESS — was still
   reaped when Electron's job tore down, so the gateway never came back
   after a GUI-initiated update. Adds CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB (0x01000000)
   to:
     - hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py::windows_detach_flags() — used by
       every helper that calls windows_detach_popen_kwargs(), including
       launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart()
     - The watcher subprocess's own respawn snippet in
       hermes_cli/gateway.py (inlined flags so the watcher's child
       respawn also breaks away)

   _spawn_detached() in gateway_windows.py already had the flag; this
   change brings the rest of the codebase to parity.

2. Per-minute supervisor Scheduled Task — Windows equivalent of
   systemd Restart=always

   Introduces hermes_cli/gateway_supervisor.py and registers it as a
   second Scheduled Task ('Hermes_Gateway_Supervisor', SC MINUTE /MO 1,
   LIMITED rights) alongside the existing ONLOGON task. Every minute,
   the supervisor uses the same gateway.status.get_running_pid() probe
   as 'hermes gateway status' and, if no gateway is alive, calls
   gateway_windows._spawn_detached() (which now includes BREAKAWAY) to
   bring one back.

   Covers every crash mode, not just 'machine rebooted': taskkill,
   OOM, GUI update SIGTERM, parent job teardown. Cheap — one pythonw
   startup per minute when down, one PID-existence check per minute
   when up.

   Wired into both the schtasks-success and Startup-folder-fallback
   install paths via _install_supervisor_best_effort(), and removed in
   uninstall(). Best-effort: a failing supervisor install logs a
   warning but doesn't roll back the primary install.

3. 'hermes gateway status --deep' shows per-probe PASS/FAIL

   Replaces the existing terse '--deep' output (which only printed
   paths) with an actual diagnostic table:
     [1] PID file present
     [2] Lock file held by a live process
     [3] get_running_pid() result
     [4] _pid_exists(pid) — OS-level liveness
     [5] gateway_state.json (state + age)
     [6] Last lifecycle event from gateway-exit-diag.log

   When the high-level summary disagrees with reality, the user can
   see exactly which signal is lying.

Test-leak fix
-------------

tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_wsl.py::TestGatewayCommandWSLMessages
monkey-patched is_linux/is_wsl/supports_systemd_services to simulate
WSL but did NOT stub is_windows(). On a Windows host, the dispatcher
in _gateway_command_inner takes the is_windows() branch BEFORE the
WSL guidance branch, so the test invoked gateway_windows.install()
for real. install() writes to %APPDATA%\...\Startup\Hermes_Gateway.cmd
— the REAL user Startup folder, never sandboxed by tmp_path — pointing
at the test's pytest-of-<user>/pytest-<N>/.../gateway-service/ wrapper.
When pytest tore down the tmp_path, every subsequent Windows login
flashed a cmd.exe window that failed to find the missing target.

Stubs is_windows=False on all four affected tests:
  test_install_wsl_no_systemd
  test_start_wsl_no_systemd
  test_status_wsl_running_manual
  test_status_wsl_not_running

Defense-in-depth: _build_startup_launcher() now prefixes the launcher
with 'if not exist <target> exit /b 0', so any future stale Startup
entry silently no-ops instead of flashing a console window.

Status enhancements
-------------------

- status() now reports supervisor task presence alongside the existing
  schtasks/Startup info, and nudges the user to reinstall if the
  supervisor isn't registered.
- Deep mode dumps both the supervisor task name + script path.

* fix(gateway,windows): drop the per-minute supervisor task — keep breakaway + deep probes

Earlier in this branch we added a per-minute schtasks-based supervisor to
respawn the gateway after crashes / GUI-update SIGTERMs. The implementation
flashed a brief console window on every firing, which stole window focus.
We tried several variants:

  - cmd.exe wrapper invoking pythonw  -> flashes (cmd.exe is console-subsystem)
  - schtasks /TR pointing at pythonw  -> flashes (uv venv launcher pythonw is
    actually subsystem=Console, not GUI; it respawns the real pythonw)
  - schtasks /TR pointing at base uv  -> still flashes (Task Scheduler-side
    conhost preallocation; documented Windows quirk)
  - XML registration with <Hidden>true>  -> still flashes (<Hidden> only hides
    the task in the Task Scheduler UI, not the spawned window)

Researched what leading projects do:

  - Ollama: GUI-subsystem tray exe + Startup-folder shortcut. No supervisor.
  - Tailscale: real Windows Service via SCM. Session 0, no console possible.
  - Syncthing: --no-console flag inside the binary + Startup folder.
  - openclaw: VBS Run(..., 0, False) wrapper. Suppresses the *window* but
    Super User Q971162 confirms focus-steal still occurs in some cases.

None of these use a per-minute polling scheduled task. The 'auto-restart on
crash' responsibility belongs INSIDE the daemon (Tailscale's in-process
recovery / Ollama's monitor+worker pair) OR is delegated to the Windows
Service Control Manager — not Task Scheduler.

So this commit drops the supervisor entirely. The CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB
fix in _subprocess_compat.py (from commit c1e5fa433) survives — that is the
*real* fix for problem #2 (GUI-update kills gateway): the post-update
watcher in launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart() now breaks out of
Electron's job object, so the gateway respawn watcher survives the GUI
quit and successfully respawns the gateway.

Surviving from c1e5fa433:
  * CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB in hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py (fixes #2)
  * Inlined breakaway flag in the watcher respawn snippet in gateway.py
  * hermes gateway status --deep PASS/FAIL probes (fixes #1 — visibility)
  * 'if not exist <target> exit /b 0' guard in _build_startup_launcher
    (fixes #3 — silent no-op for stale Startup entries)
  * tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_wsl.py is_windows=False stubs (root cause
    of #3 — pytest WSL tests no longer leak Startup entries on Win hosts)

Removed in this commit:
  * hermes_cli/gateway_supervisor.py (entire file)
  * Supervisor section in hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py (~180 lines):
      get_supervisor_task_name, get_supervisor_script_path,
      _build_supervisor_cmd_script, _write_supervisor_script,
      _install_supervisor_task, is_supervisor_task_registered,
      _install_supervisor_best_effort
  * _install_supervisor_best_effort() calls in install() (3 spots)
  * supervisor cleanup block in uninstall()
  * supervisor display lines in status() / status(deep=True)

Future direction (out of scope for this PR): the right place for Windows
'Restart=always' semantics is a real Windows Service installed via
pywin32's win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework — session-0 isolation, SCM
auto-restart, no console window possible. That's a meaningful next-PR
project, not a band-aid.

Tests: 51 pass / 2 pre-existing failures in
tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_{windows,wsl}.py (the 2 failures are
TestSupportsSystemdServicesWSL cases that fail on origin/main too —
unrelated to this PR).
