The hand-off quits the Desktop and launches `hermes update` as the marker's
delegate. When the update lock then refuses that claim (the pre-a28a5d03a9f
whole-second creation-time bug on macOS, still present on installs that cannot
pull the fix through the button), no other updater exists: the Desktop shows
"Hermes couldn't finish updating" and the user retries. The metrics row read
outcome `refused`, which the rollup treats as neither attempt nor failure, so
~320 Desktop update failures a fortnight vanished from the failure rate.
Record that one case (marker names this process as its delegate) as `failed`;
a refusal under another update's claim stays `refused`.
