ethernet f9f235ed1a fix(pm): never adopt another install's venv for a checkout
project_venv_dir() fell back to the running interpreter's venv whenever
hermes_constants was loaded from the checkout. Where the code was loaded
from says nothing about who owns the interpreter: with
`PYTHONPATH=<dev checkout> <app install>/venv/bin/python -m hermes_cli.main`
(a shell wrapper around a dev tree), PROJECT_ROOT is the dev checkout but
the venv is the Desktop install's. base_venv() then returned the app's
venv, `hermes update` synced the dev tree into it, and the Desktop
install's venv became an editable install of the dev checkout. From then
on the Desktop shell tracked ~/.hermes/hermes-agent while its backend and
its handed-off `hermes update` ran and pulled the dev tree, so every
in-app update "succeeded" without moving the install. The same misread
let running_from_selected_environment() accept lazy extras into that
venv.

Only fall back to the running venv when its own hermes-agent install
records this checkout in direct_url.json, which every install of a
checkout into a venv writes (installers, uv sync). Otherwise the
checkout gets its own environment, as it did before 4f6c04cd07. The
#116148 out-of-tree layout (a venv installed from the checkout) still
resolves to the running interpreter.

Call sites that only knew about ``venv`` silently no-oped on a ``.venv`` install — that is how the

what the installers write.
Installers that keep the interpreter out of the checkout (``$HERMES_HOME/venvs/<name>``, the layout the
shipped Windows launchers assume) have neither, and the ``project_venv_dir(root) or root / "venv"``
idiom those call sites share then handed ``uv`` a ``VIRTUAL_ENV`` that does not exist: that one invented
path skipped the import probe, reclassified every ``hermes tools`` dependency as missing and failed the
reinstall with interpreter errors (#116148). The interpreter running this module is the only truthful
answer to "which venv is live", so fall back to it — but only for the checkout it was loaded from. A
