Mind-Dragon ab6c629ccc fix(terminal): skip sudo prompt when local NOPASSWD sudo works
When running on a host with sudoers NOPASSWD configured for the current
user, interactive Hermes sessions were unnecessarily entering the
password prompt path before executing sudo commands. Outside Hermes,
`sudo -n true` exits 0 for that user.

Add `_sudo_nopasswd_works()` that probes `sudo -n true` and, when it
succeeds, lets `_transform_sudo_command()` return the command unchanged
with no stdin password. The probe:

- Is scoped to the `local` terminal backend only, so Docker/SSH/Modal
  and other remote backends do not inherit host sudo state.
- Re-probes every call (no process-lifetime cache) so an expired sudo
  timestamp cannot silently make a later command block waiting for a
  password that Hermes never prompts for.
- Is bypassed entirely when `SUDO_PASSWORD` is configured or a cached
  password already exists, preserving existing explicit-password flows.
