fix(entry-points): guard hermes_bootstrap import so partial updates don't brick hermes (#22091)
teknium1 hit ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hermes_bootstrap' after
a code update, on both his Windows machine AND his Linux workstation.  The
failure mode is real and affects every user who updates hermes by any path
OTHER than a fully-successful ``hermes update``.

## What happens

hermes_bootstrap.py is a top-level module registered via pyproject.toml's
``py-modules`` list (added by Brooklyn's Windows UTF-8 stdio work).  It
must be registered in the venv's editable-install .pth file before Python
can find it as a bare ``import hermes_bootstrap``.

``hermes update`` handles this correctly: (1) git reset --hard, (2) clear
__pycache__, (3) uv pip install -e . (re-registers the package including
the new py-modules list), (4) restart.

BUT if any step AFTER (1) fails — network blip during pip install, PEP 668
on a system Python, venv locked, uv not in PATH, a crash mid-update — the
user is left with new code that references hermes_bootstrap and a venv
that doesn't know about it.  Every hermes invocation after that crashes
with ModuleNotFoundError, including ``hermes update`` itself.  No recovery
path without manual `uv pip install -e .`.

Also affects users who ``git pull`` the repo directly without running
hermes update — relatively common for developers.

## Fix

Wrap ``import hermes_bootstrap`` in a try/except ModuleNotFoundError
across all 6 entry points (hermes_cli/main, run_agent, gateway/run,
acp_adapter/entry, cli, batch_runner).  On Windows, missing bootstrap
means the UTF-8 stdio setup doesn't run — degraded behavior (Unicode
chars may fail to print) but NOT a crash.  POSIX is unaffected either way
since the bootstrap is a no-op there.

Once hermes is running again, the user can ``hermes update`` to fully
recover.

## Test update

tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py::test_entry_point_imports_bootstrap
scans for the first top-level import in each entry point and asserts it
is hermes_bootstrap.  Extended the check to accept a Try block whose body
is a lone Import of hermes_bootstrap — that's the recovery-friendly form
we just introduced.

Verified behavior by ``mv hermes_bootstrap.py hermes_bootstrap.py.bak``
and confirming ``python -c "import hermes_cli.main"`` succeeds.  82/82
tests pass (hermes_bootstrap + windows-native + windows-compat).

"""Tests for hermes_bootstrap — Windows UTF-8 stdio shim.
The bootstrap module is imported at the top of every Hermes entry point
(hermes, hermes-agent, hermes-acp, gateway, batch_runner, cli.py). It
fixes Python's Windows UTF-8 defaults so print("café") doesn't crash and
subprocess children inherit UTF-8 mode.
Key invariants covered by these tests:
1. Windows: env vars get set, stdio reconfigured, non-ASCII print works
2. POSIX: complete no-op (we don't touch LANG/LC_* or anything else)
3. Idempotent: safe to call multiple times
4. Respects user opt-out: if the user explicitly sets PYTHONUTF8=0 or
PYTHONIOENCODING=something-else, we leave those alone
5. Load order: every Hermes entry point imports hermes_bootstrap as its
first non-docstring import (before anything that might do file I/O
or print to stdout)
