obelisk-complex 63be8ce863 fix(tests): stop the test suite speaking aloud and launching a browser
Running the suite could take over the machine it ran on. Two real
effects, both now closed:

- **The suite spoke through the speakers.** Once any test drove the
  `voice.toggle` RPC with `action="tts"`, the handler set
  `HERMES_VOICE_TTS=1` in the *live process environment*, and the flag
  outlived that test. Every later test that drove a turn to completion
  then fed its final response text to `hermes_cli.voice.speak_text` on a
  background thread - real synthesis, real playback, no API key needed
  (the default `edge` provider is keyless). A developer heard the fixture
  string "partial answer complete" out loud. Because the flag is set from
  inside the process, `scripts/run_tests.sh`'s `env -i` never protected
  against this.

  `tests/conftest.py` now blanks `HERMES_VOICE`/`HERMES_VOICE_TTS` per
  test, and a new autouse `_audio_playback_guard` stubs `speak_text` and
  its playback binding outright, so the speakers stay shut even inside the
  test that sets the flag itself. `@pytest.mark.real_audio_playback` opts
  out.

- **The suite launched Chrome.** `tests/tools/test_browser_supervisor.py`
  spawned a real browser on any machine with Chrome on `PATH`. Its
  docstring promised a `HERMES_E2E_BROWSER=1` gate that existed nowhere in
  the code. That gate is now real, and the file is marked `integration`
  so the default marker filter excludes it. `scripts/run_tests.sh`
  forwards `HERMES_E2E_BROWSER` so the documented manual run still works.

Miscellanea

- `tests/test_audio_playback_guard.py`: regression cover for both defences,
  driving the real `voice.toggle` handler rather than a stand-in.

"""Regression tests for the test-suite audio-playback guard.
The incident: a plain test run spoke the words "partial answer complete" out
of a developer's speakers. That string is a fake ``final_response`` from
``tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py``. The route was entirely in-process — no
leaked shell variable, so ``scripts/run_tests.sh``'s ``env -i`` was no help:
1. A test drives the ``voice.toggle`` RPC with ``action="tts"``. The
handler flips the flag by writing the real process environment:
``os.environ["HERMES_VOICE_TTS"] = "1"``.
2. The flag outlives that test (``monkeypatch.delenv`` on an *absent* key
records no undo entry), so every later test in the process sees it.
3. Any later test that drives a turn to completion hits the TTS dispatch in
``prompt.submit``, which calls ``hermes_cli.voice.speak_text`` on a
daemon thread with the turn's final response text.
4. ``speak_text`` needs no API key to be audible — ``tools/tts_tool.py``
defaults to the keyless ``edge`` provider.
Two independent defences in ``tests/conftest.py``, one test each below:
* ``_HERMES_BEHAVIORAL_VARS`` now blanks ``HERMES_VOICE`` /
``HERMES_VOICE_TTS`` at every test setup, so step 2 cannot cross a test
boundary.
* ``_audio_playback_guard`` stubs ``speak_text`` outright, so step 3 stays
silent even *within* the test that set the flag itself.
The second is the load-bearing one: env blanking alone cannot stop code under
test from re-setting the variable mid-test.
