Siddharth Balyan 45079e6330 fix(security): the first tirith scan no longer waits on its download (#128150)
* fix(security): the first tirith scan no longer waits on its download

A process that never ran the CLI startup install (desktop serve, the
gateway, a newly routed profile) claimed the install on its first scan and
ran pm.ensure("tirith") inline. The first terminal call then waited on the
PM worker, the runtime toolchain and the tirith download before it ran.

The cold scan now starts the same background install as startup and scans
with the default path, so the call fails open at once like any scan during
a startup download.

* fix(security): a scan during the tirith download never trips the breaker

The previous commit let a cold scan run while the background install was
still downloading. That scan spawned the bare default "tirith", got
FileNotFoundError and counted it as a crash. Three terminal calls during
the download opened the circuit breaker, and every scan then returned
allow unscanned for 300 s, even after the download finished. With
tirith_fail_open: false the first three commands were blocked and the
breaker then let commands run unscanned.

A scan that finds the default binary missing while this home's install
thread is alive no longer spawns or counts a crash. Fail-open allows the
command at once ("tirith installing"). Fail-closed waits for the install,
as the inline install did before, and then scans with the real binary.
So only the fail-open case skips the scan during a download; the earlier
commit's "fails open at once" holds only for fail_open.

The PM consumer test now joins the background install before it reads
the recorded download requests.
