RGerrish 7fe3bf042b fix(update): self-heal stale git locks and stop false 'update available' on shallow clones
Two related failure modes after a crashed/interrupted fetch on a shallow
clone (git clone --depth 1 installs):

1. STALE LOCK WEDGES EVERY FETCH. A killed fetch can leave .git/shallow.lock
   behind; every later 'git fetch' then fails with 'Unable to create
   .../shallow.lock: File exists'. 'hermes update --check' reported a hard
   fetch failure, and the passive banner check swallowed the exception and
   compared stale refs. Add hermes_cli.gitlock.clear_stale_git_locks(), a
   guarded sweep (age + git-process check so a live fetch is never yanked)
   wired into the check path, the apply path, and the banner's passive check.

2. SHALLOW TIP-SHA COMPARE FALSE-POSITIVES. On a shallow clone the check
   cannot count commits, so it compares tip SHAs. Local cherry-picks on top
   of the remote tip (e.g. re-applied local patches) make HEAD differ from
   origin/main even though HEAD already contains it — a false 'update
   available' banner. Add hermes_cli.gitlock.is_ancestor_of_head() and use
   'git merge-base --is-ancestor' in the CLI check and banner paths before
   reporting an update. Mirror in the desktop (update-count.ts gains an
   isAncestor input; main.ts probes merge-base --is-ancestor).

Tests: tests/test_gitlock.py (9) covering stale/young/no-lock/no-repo sweeps
and ancestry true/false; update-count.test.ts +3 for the isAncestor path.

"""Tests for hermes_cli.gitlock — stale git lock recovery + ancestry probe.
These cover the two failure modes that produced the false "update available"
notification and the hard ``update --check`` failure after a crashed fetch on
a shallow clone:
1. A stale ``.git/shallow.lock`` makes every later ``git fetch`` fail with
"File exists" unless cleared.
2. On a shallow clone the update check compares tip SHAs, so local
cherry-picks on top of the remote tip look like "update available" even
though HEAD already contains the remote tip.
The module's safety rules are also pinned: a *young* lock or a *running git
process* must never be cleared.
