"""Cross-process update mutual exclusion (``hermes_cli.update_lock``).
Three surfaces can start an update of one install tree: a terminal ``hermes
update``, the dashboard's Update button (which spawns that same command
detached), and the desktop's Update button (Tauri updater → install-mode
bootstrap on its failure screen). Before the shared lock, two of them could run
concurrently and rewrite source under a live interpreter — observed in the wild
as an installer ``git checkout`` rewinding the checkout ~9k commits while a
dashboard-spawned ``hermes update`` was mid-``npm install``, which then failed
against the rewound tree's manifests.
These exercise the real marker file against a temp home — no mocks — because
the contract that matters is what the Rust updater and the Electron gate see on
disk.
