briandevans 60b143e9df fix(tui_gateway): guard sys.path against local package shadowing (#15989)
When the TUI backend (tui_gateway/entry.py) is spawned by Node.js with the
user's CWD containing a local utils/ directory, that directory shadows the
installed utils module, causing ImportError in run_agent and hermes_cli.

Strip '' and '.' from sys.path and prepend HERMES_PYTHON_SRC_ROOT (already
set by hermes_cli before spawning the subprocess) so installed packages
always win over CWD artifacts.

"""Tests for tui_gateway/entry.py sys.path hardening (issue #15989).
When the TUI backend is spawned by Node.js, the Python interpreter may have
'' or '.' at the front of sys.path, allowing a local utils/ directory in CWD
to shadow the installed utils module. entry.py must sanitize sys.path before
any non-stdlib import is resolved.
