Ben a618789dba fix(dashboard-auth): share /api/* public allowlist between legacy and OAuth gates
Two parallel public-path allowlists drifted: _PUBLIC_API_PATHS in
hermes_cli/web_server.py (legacy _SESSION_TOKEN middleware) and
_GATE_PUBLIC_PREFIXES in hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/middleware.py
(OAuth gate). The legacy list included /api/status (documented as a
non-sensitive read-only liveness target); the OAuth gate's list did not.

Effect: every wildcard-subdomain agent surfaced as STARTING/down to the
portal even though the dashboard was serving correctly. Nous account
service (src/server/agents/fly-provider.ts
getInstanceRuntimeStatus) fetches ``/api/status`` without a cookie
as its sole liveness probe; the OAuth gate's 401 looked identical to
'agent dead' on the portal side.

Fix: lift the allowlist into hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/public_paths.py
and have both middlewares import it. _path_is_public now consults
the shared frozenset first, then falls back to the gate's
auth-bootstrap/static prefix list. Future additions to the public list
hit both gates automatically.

Endpoint inventory (verified safe to remain public):

* /api/status            — version, gateway state, active session count,
                           auth-gate shape. Portal liveness probe target.
* /api/config/defaults   — config-defaults feed for the SPA's Config page
* /api/config/schema     — config schema for the SPA's Config page
* /api/model/info        — model catalogue metadata (context windows)
* /api/dashboard/themes  — theme manifests for the skin engine
* /api/dashboard/plugins — plugin manifests for the dashboard

No user data, no session content, no secrets. Same shape an external
monitoring agent would hit on /healthz.

Tests:

* New: test_gated_status_is_public (regression guard with the NAS
  fly-provider.ts liveness-probe rationale spelled out in the docstring)
* New: test_other_public_api_paths_are_public_under_gate (parametrised
  over the rest of PUBLIC_API_PATHS — proves 401 / 302-to-login is
  never the response)
* New: docker integration check #3 in
  test_dashboard_oauth_gate_engaged_by_default — /api/status
  remains 200 under the gate AND reports auth_required=True so the
  portal can distinguish modes
* Updated: test_full_login_round_trip_unlocks_gated_api now probes
  /api/sessions instead of /api/status (status is public, so it
  can no longer distinguish 'logged in' from 'gate accidentally
  disabled')
* Updated: TestApi401Envelope (the no-cookie / invalid-cookie /
  dead-cookie tests) probes /api/sessions for the same reason
* Updated: docker integration check #2 in
  test_dashboard_oauth_gate_engaged_by_default probes
  /api/sessions to prove the gate is intercepting
* Removed: dead _login() helper in
  test_dashboard_auth_status_endpoint.py (no longer needed since
  /api/status is reachable cold)

"""Harness: dashboard opt-in via HERMES_DASHBOARD.
Today (tini): dashboard starts once when HERMES_DASHBOARD=1; if it crashes
it stays dead. After Phase 2 (s6): dashboard starts once; if it crashes
it is restarted under supervision. The restart-after-crash test lives in
Phase 2 Task 2.5; this file only locks the opt-in surface (which must
not change between tini and s6).
