Two related first-launch bugs on machines with a legacy ~/.hermes:
- install.ps1 hardcoded $HermesHome/$InstallDir to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes
and ignored the HERMES_HOME the desktop passes through. The desktop
freezes HERMES_HOME at module load and prefers a legacy ~/.hermes when
%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes is absent, so the installer wrote to a different
home than the shell read -> "Could not connect to Hermes gateway". Honor
$env:HERMES_HOME in the param defaults.
- isBootstrapComplete() trusted the marker + checkout without verifying a
runnable venv, so an interrupted/split install spawned a dead backend
instead of re-bootstrapping. Also require the venv python to exist.
