Teknium 308d12e1fd fix(tests): live-system guard lets a gateway start inside a container exec
#106623 (ca16cafee4) blocks any test subprocess whose argv resolves to
`hermes gateway run|start|restart`, so the harness cannot spawn a runtime that
outlives the worker and restarts the developer's gateway. The matcher strips the
`-p <profile>` selector and reads through `sh -c`, so it also fired on
`docker exec -u hermes <ctr> sh -c 'hermes -p x gateway start'` and broke
tests/docker/test_profile_gateway.py on every Docker build since. A gateway
launched inside a container cannot reach the host unit or webhook port; the
guard now skips commands whose argv[0] is a container runtime (docker, podman,
nerdctl). Host-side spawns stay blocked.

"""Regression tests for the conftest live-system guard's argv handling.
The guard must treat only argv[0] of a list/tuple command as the executable
(arguments are data: a file named ``skill`` is not the ``skill`` binary),
while still scanning every token of wrapper invocations like ``bash -c``.
All blocked-case commands use patterns that match no real process, so a
guard regression cannot kill anything.
