Teknium e9f7d44f3f fix(vault): carry the unlock prompt onto tool worker threads; honour binary_path in install checks
Live Desktop repro: the fixture model called browser_vault_unlock and got
unlock_unavailable although the renderer was interactive. tool_executor runs
handlers on a propagated worker thread; thread_context only copied the
approval and sudo thread-local callbacks, so the unlock prompt registered by
_wire_callbacks was invisible there and can_prompt_here() said nobody could
answer. The callback table in thread_context now lists every per-thread
prompt (approval, sudo, vault unlock) so a new one cannot silently drop off
worker threads again. After the fix the same turn shows the masked card and
completes.

vault.sources / `hermes vault sources` report a manager as installed when
its configured binary_path exists, not only when it is on PATH.

"""Propagate agent-turn context into worker threads that dispatch Hermes tools.
A bare ``threading.Thread`` / ``ThreadPoolExecutor`` worker starts with an empty
``contextvars.Context`` and no thread-local approval/sudo callbacks, so tool dispatch inside it
silently loses the approval ContextVars (gateway sessions then auto-approve dangerous commands)
and the CLI callbacks (``prompt_dangerous_approval`` cannot reach the user, GHSA-qg5c-hvr5-hjgr).
Call :func:`propagate_context_to_thread` **on the parent thread** (it snapshots at call time) and
use the result as the worker target; callbacks are installed for the worker's lifetime and
always cleared on exit.
