teknium1 12173db5b7 fix(state): second-process maintenance on state.db refuses ANY foreign holder
`hermes doctor --fix`'s WAL checkpoint and `repair_state_db_schema`'s
preflight documented themselves as fail-OPEN: `live_writer_holds_db` only
refused on unknown/deleted/uninspectable holders and then trusted a
`BEGIN IMMEDIATE` probe, which is blind to a `journal_mode=DELETE` reader
(SHARED only) and cannot run on a malformed file — exactly the states repair
and checkpoint get invoked in. A repair in a second process then REINDEXed /
VACUUMed a file the gateway still held (#103339 item 2).

- `hermes_state_holders.live_writer_holds_db`: any foreign holder of the DB or
  a sidecar is a live holder; the probe is only an additional positive signal.
- doctor `--fix`: the checkpoint runs on `_exclusive_repair_db_guard`'s
  connection instead of a bare writable `sqlite3.connect`, so an opener
  arriving after the scan is refused, not joined; `_session_count` is a
  `mode=ro` reader.
- Normal SessionDB writers are untouched: gateway + dashboard in two processes
  both keep writing (a process-wide flock on the write path — PR #109270's
  shape — would break that).

Tests: the two-process repair race test releases the test process's own
header-probe fd (it is a genuine holder now); the mid-repair writer fixture
opens its connection after staging starts (a pre-existing holder is refused up
front, which is the point).
