brooklyn! b34ee80741 feat(installer): rename macOS installer to "Hermes" and make it a launcher (#37516)
* feat(installer): rename macOS installer to "Hermes" and make it a launcher

The bootstrap installer was branded "Hermes Setup" and always re-ran the full
install flow on every open — so the /Applications app said "Setup" and couldn't
double as a way to relaunch Hermes (the real desktop app lives in ~/.hermes,
not /Applications, with no Dock/Launchpad entry).

Two changes, macOS-focused:

1. Rename the installer's user-visible name to "Hermes" (productName, window
   title, shortDescription, document title). Bundle id stays
   com.nousresearch.hermes.setup (distinct from the desktop app's
   com.nousresearch.hermes); the on-disk staged updater name (hermes-setup) is
   unchanged, so the desktop's update hand-off still resolves it.

2. Launcher fast path: on a bare ("Install") launch, if Hermes is already
   installed (bootstrap-complete marker + a built desktop app on disk), skip the
   installer UI entirely and relaunch the desktop app, then exit. First run still
   installs; Update mode and fresh/repair installs still show the UI. The window
   now starts hidden ("visible": false) and is revealed only when the UI is
   actually needed, so the launcher path never flashes a window.

Net UX: one "Hermes" in /Applications you can pin to the Dock — first click
installs, every later click opens the app instantly (same icon throughout, so
the Dock stays seamless). Nothing pins to the Dock permanently; the app shows a
normal Dock icon only while running.

Windows naming is intentionally left as-is in this change (scope: macOS).

* fix(installer): gate launcher fast path to macOS + log window-show failures

Address review feedback:
- Gate the already-installed launcher fast path to macOS (cfg!(target_os =
  "macos")). On Windows/Linux the installer keeps its prior behavior, so the
  change is a pure no-op there. This avoids relaunching the desktop app on
  Windows via a spawn that lacks the DETACHED_PROCESS + startup-grace handling
  launch_hermes_desktop uses (which could race the installer's exit).
- Add a brief startup grace before exiting on the mac fast path, mirroring
  launch_hermes_desktop.
- Log (instead of silently ignoring) failures to show the main window, and log
  when the "main" window can't be found, so a no-UI state is diagnosable.

* fix(installer): add --reinstall escape hatch + keep spawn detached on Windows

Address follow-up review:
- Add a `--reinstall`/`--repair` flag that forces the installer UI even when
  Hermes is already installed, so a broken install can be repaired by re-running
  setup instead of the launcher fast path silently relaunching the (possibly
  bad) app.
- Apply DETACHED_PROCESS on Windows in spawn_installed_desktop, mirroring
  launch_hermes_desktop, so the helper stays correct cross-platform even though
  its only caller is macOS-gated today.

* Potential fix for pull request finding

* test(installer): unit-test --reinstall/--repair force-setup parsing

Extract the force-setup flag parsing into a unit-testable
`force_setup_from_args` helper (mirrors `AppMode::from_args`) and add tests:
- --reinstall and --repair are recognized
- bare/unrelated args (incl. --update) do not force setup
- the repair flags never affect Install<->Update mode selection
