Teknium c01a2df0a3 fix(auth): don't launch a text-mode browser inside the terminal for OAuth (#34479)
OAuth auto-open only checked _is_remote_session() (SSH + cloud-shell env
vars). On a headless/CLI-only Linux box with no GUI browser, none of those
trip, so webbrowser.open() resolved to a console browser (w3m/lynx/links)
and launched it INSIDE the terminal — hijacking the user's TTY with the
xAI 'Account Management' login page instead of letting them copy the URL.

Add _can_open_graphical_browser(): returns False when webbrowser would
resolve to a known console browser, when $BROWSER names one, when there's
no display server on Linux, or when no browser resolves at all. Gate all 5
OAuth auto-open callsites (xAI loopback, Spotify loopback, MiniMax device
code, Anthropic, Google) on it in addition to the existing remote check.
Headless boxes now print the URL / fall through to manual-paste instead.

"""Tests for `_can_open_graphical_browser()` in hermes_cli.auth.
Guards the fix for the May 2026 report where `hermes auth add xai-oauth`
launched a text-mode browser (w3m) INSIDE the terminal on a headless Linux
box — `_is_remote_session()` only checked SSH/cloud-shell env vars, so a plain
local box with no GUI browser still called `webbrowser.open()`, which resolved
to a console browser and hijacked the TTY.
The helper distinguishes "a real windowed browser will pop up" from "a console
browser will hijack the terminal" so OAuth callsites can fall back to printing
the URL / manual paste instead of auto-opening.
