Ben c2ca3f01ab fix(dashboard): honor --portal-url / HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL override in register
The register command resolved the portal base URL purely from the stored
login, ignoring any override. That meant `HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL` (and
the absence of any flag) gave no way to point registration at a staging or
preview portal — the request always hit the login's portal, returning 404
against a branch that wasn't deployed there.

- _resolve_portal_base_url now takes an optional override (precedence:
  override > stored login portal > prod default).
- New --portal-url flag; falls back to HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL env.
- Documents that the access token must be valid at the overridden portal
  (it's minted by whoever you logged into).
- 3 new tests for override precedence.

Verified live against the PR #324 Vercel preview: CLI -> preview endpoint ->
real agent:{id} client_id written to .env.

"""``hermes dashboard register`` — register a self-hosted dashboard OAuth client.
Automates what a user otherwise does by hand: open the Nous Portal
``/local-dashboards`` page in a browser, click "register", copy the
resulting ``agent:{id}`` OAuth client ID, and paste it into ``~/.hermes/.env``
as ``HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID``.
This command:
1. Resolves a fresh Nous Portal access token from the existing login
(``~/.hermes/auth.json``), refreshing it if needed. Fails fast with a
"run `hermes setup`" hint when the user isn't logged in.
2. POSTs to ``{portal}/api/oauth/self-hosted-client`` with that bearer
token, which creates a SELF_HOSTED agent client owned by the caller's
org and returns the fully-formed ``agent:{id}`` client_id.
3. Writes ``HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`` and (if absent)
``HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL`` into ``~/.hermes/.env`` idempotently.
4. Prints a post-register hint explaining that the OAuth gate only engages
on a non-loopback bind.
The portal endpoint is the NAS half of this feature (POST
/api/oauth/self-hosted-client). The ``agent:`` prefix is applied server-side,
so this client never needs to know the namespace convention.
