brooklyn! 6d85d790e4 fix(update): hand off only the dependency sync, not the whole update (#90240)
`hermes update` on Windows detached on every run, including the
`Already up to date!` no-op that never touches the venv. emozilla hit
the visible half: the shim exits, PowerShell takes the console back,
and a child prints the result under a fresh prompt — it reads as a
frozen update. The invisible half is worse: the hand-off sat ahead of
the fetch, so it also carried off the stash and branch-switch
questions, which #90205 then had to answer by closing stdin. Nobody
who mods Hermes got asked about their local changes again.

The shim lock is real and the child is still required — a launcher
holds venv\Scripts\hermes.exe open without FILE_SHARE_DELETE for the
whole command, so the quarantine rename is refused and uv fails with
os error 32. A parent that waits deadlocks against the handle it is
itself holding, and Windows has no exec to escape with.

But that lock only binds one step. Move the hand-off to the dependency
sync boundary, beside the native-module deferral that solves the same
"this process holds a file the sync must replace" problem — and for
the reason that placement already exists (#86735: a preflight ahead of
the fetch re-bricked the flow it was meant to protect). Everything
before the sync now runs foreground in the user's console: the
preflight, the stash question, the branch switch, git pull. An
up-to-date run never hands off at all.

Deferring to the next launch cannot substitute here the way it does
for a mapped .pyd: every future `hermes` launch is also the shim, so
the marker would defer forever. The child re-runs the update to keep
the node/web/lazy-refresh tail, and takes the sync it was spawned for
rather than the up-to-date early return.
