name: Install & Update E2E (reusable)

# Runs ONE {install-method, update-method} combination against ONE starting
# commit, with a real install (uv, a managed Python, Node, the venv) behind
# it.
#
# Reusable so callers can fan out over the combinations that matter --
# update from the tip vs. from an older release, `hermes update` vs.
# re-running the installer -- without duplicating the runner setup. Each leg
# is independent: its own isolated HOME, its own install, nothing rewound
# or shared.
#
# No sandbox: tests/install/installer-script-e2e.sh points every git
# process at a local bare clone (url.<file://serve.git>.insteadOf in a
# driver-owned GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL) and isolates HOME, so the installer and
# updater run byte-for-byte against their real URLs on the bare runner --
# which is disposable, and therefore IS the sandbox. That also makes this
# workflow OS-agnostic: the same driver runs on ubuntu and macos runners.
#
# Method ids come from scripts/sandbox/generate-e2e-matrix.mjs. Supported
# today: install via installer-script, update via hermes-update or
# installer-script (re-run the one-liner).
# Anything else NATIVELY SKIPS (grey check, no runner): capability
# knowledge lives here, next to the driver, so the caller can dispatch
# every declared combination without knowing which ones work.
