Salvage hardening on top of the three cherry-picked contributor commits
(#91297 gebilaowang404 + AlexMnrs, #96741 burak33bb, #98826 ayushnangia),
closing the remaining unverified-PID kill sites as one class (#98814, #89614):
- pid_is_hermes: token-boundary 'hermes' match (no more loose substring
false-positives), and an explicit start-time expectation is now honored
on POSIX too (a mismatched fingerprint is a recycled PID on any platform).
- kill_process_tree: drop the guard on our OWN retained Popen child — a
retained handle pins the PID, so the check could only false-refuse.
- gateway.status.terminate_pid: POSIX force-kills also refuse when a
caller-provided expected_start_time no longer matches.
- kill_gateway_processes: re-verify the LIVE cmdline at kill time (the
scan-time match is a TOCTOU window).
- _reap_unsupervised_gateway_orphans: fingerprint orphans at scan time and
require a still-matching identity before the delayed SIGKILL escalation.
- whatsapp _kill_port_process: never kill a bare netstat/lsof-scanned PID
unless the live process is actually a node bridge (was a stranger-kill).
- browser daemon reap/close paths: pass the start-time fingerprint into
ProcessRegistry._terminate_host_pid (previously unverified), and the
session-close path now runs the same daemon identity verification as
the orphan reaper.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_taskkill_identity_windows_live.py: live Windows
probes (real spawned processes, real psutil ancestry) wired into the
on-demand windows-latest wine2e lane.
