ethernet 09a49ab37e update: refuse source checkouts on Termux hosts with the APT hint
The admission gate only refused the sealed apt-termux tree; a legacy
git-checkout install on a phone was admitted like any other checkout.
That path ff-merges and then syncs the venv against a lock whose CPython
is the bundled bionic build with no Android wheels, so the update
degrades into on-device sdist builds with no hint that the APT package
exists.

A git checkout under Termux (TERMUX_VERSION or the com.termux PREFIX,
via hermes_constants.is_termux) now refuses at the steward rung with
`pkg install hermes-agent` as the remediation. The same checkout off
Termux stays updatable.

"""Image-managed install refusal contract.
A refusal prints the real update command for the deployment kind, records a
``refused`` receipt (so fleet tooling sees "this install cannot self-update,
use <command>" instead of a silent non-update), and exits 2 on CLI surfaces.
