Nathan Esquenazi 8d1b7a1e01 feat: self-update checker with one-click update for WebUI + Agent
Shows a blue banner when the webui or hermes-agent git repos are behind
their upstream branches. One-click 'Update Now' button does stash, pull
--ff-only, stash pop, then reloads the page.

Backend (api/updates.py):
- _check_repo(): git fetch + rev-list count with 15s timeout
- check_for_updates(): 30-min server-side cache, thread-safe, skips
  Docker (no .git dir)
- apply_update(): stash (if dirty), pull --ff-only, pop, invalidate cache

Routes:
- GET /api/updates/check -- returns cached {webui, agent} with behind count
- POST /api/updates/apply -- {target: 'webui'|'agent'}

Frontend:
- Blue banner (matches reconnect-banner pattern) with 'Later' / 'Update Now'
- Non-blocking boot check via fire-and-forget .then(), once per tab session
- sessionStorage guards prevent re-checking and re-showing after dismiss

Settings:
- 'Check for updates' checkbox (default: on) -- when off, no git operations
- Removed 'Default Workspace' dropdown to keep settings panel compact

Performance:
- Server cache: git fetch at most 2x/hour regardless of client count
- sessionStorage: one check per browser tab session
- _check_in_progress flag prevents concurrent fetch storms
- Fire-and-forget: does NOT block the boot sequence

"""
Hermes Web UI -- Self-update checker.
Checks if the webui and hermes-agent git repos are behind their upstream
branches. Results are cached server-side (30-min TTL) so git fetch runs
at most twice per hour regardless of client count.
Skips repos that are not git checkouts (e.g. Docker baked images where
.git does not exist).
