TaoMasterCoder 085623a11a fix(state): scope uninspectable-holder fallback to the instance's own HERMES_HOME
Field evidence (2026-09-07, production host): the host runs two independent
Hermes instances - a main gateway (user ubuntu, HERMES_HOME=/home/ubuntu/.hermes)
and a demo gateway (user demo, HERMES_HOME=/home/demo/.hermes). Because the
demo process is owned by another user, its /proc/<pid>/fd table is unreadable
and foreign_state_db_holders() falls back to cmdline + _looks_like_hermes().
The demo argv matches Hermes patterns exactly, so it was flagged as an
uninspectable holder of the MAIN instance's state.db even though lsof proved
0 open handles on it. Result: _recover_stale_fts was deferred 42 times across
6 gateway restarts, the fts_stale breadcrumb never cleared, and FTS
self-repair stayed permanently disabled.

#92419 removed substring false positives (journalctl/grep mentioning hermes);
a genuine second instance with a DIFFERENT HERMES_HOME was still misjudged.
Add _argv_scoped_to_other_home(): when the argv of an uninspectable Hermes
process proves it lives under a different /.hermes home (or a state.db
sidecar under a different parent) AND no token references our state.db,
sidecars, or home, do not count it as our holder. Applied to all three
uninspectable branches (holder + two descriptor paths). Ambiguous argv
without absolute-path tokens remains fail-closed, preserving the
conservative intent.
