Dustin dbebbeddfc fix(start.ps1): handle WOW64 ProgramFiles redirection in candidate discovery
Surfaced by smoke-testing this PR on a fresh foundry-side checkout.
PowerShell sometimes runs as a 32-bit (WOW64) process on 64-bit
Windows — e.g., from certain shell-chain configurations (Git Bash →
pwsh through specific launchers, or some 32-bit IDE-spawned shells).
In that mode `$env:ProgramFiles` is redirected to
`C:\Program Files (x86)` by Windows, so the existing two-entry loop:

    foreach ($root in @($env:LOCALAPPDATA, ${env:ProgramFiles}, ${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}))

produced TWO identical `C:\Program Files (x86)\hermes\hermes-agent`
candidates AND silently missed the real `C:\Program Files\hermes\hermes-agent`
where MSI-installed hermes-agent actually lives.

Two changes:

1. Add `${env:ProgramW6432}` to the loop. ProgramW6432 is the canonical
   override that Windows guarantees points at the 64-bit Program Files
   regardless of process bitness. On a native 64-bit process, it
   equals `$env:ProgramFiles` (so we may pick up a duplicate, handled
   below). On a WOW64 process, it's the only way to reach
   `C:\Program Files`.

2. Add `$candidates = $candidates | Select-Object -Unique` after the
   list is built. Collapses any same-path collisions regardless of
   which env-var combination caused them — defensive against future
   env-var weirdness too (constrained sandboxes, custom Windows builds).

Verified end-to-end:
- BEFORE the fix, smoke test on a WOW64 pwsh 7.5.4 showed candidates 3 + 4
  both = `C:\Program Files (x86)\hermes\hermes-agent`. Real `C:\Program Files`
  never checked.
- AFTER the fix, same shell shows 5 distinct candidates: USERPROFILE,
  LOCALAPPDATA, ProgramW6432 (`C:\Program Files`), ProgramFiles(x86), sibling.

.SYNOPSIS
Native Windows launcher for Hermes WebUI - PowerShell equivalent
of start.sh, bypassing bootstrap.py's platform refusal.
.DESCRIPTION
Mirrors start.sh's discovery: load optional .env, find Python,
locate the hermes-agent install, set sensible env defaults, then
invoke server.py directly. The bootstrap.py path is skipped
because it currently raises on platform.system() == 'Windows';
server.py itself runs cleanly on native Windows.
Assumes Python + hermes-agent + the WebUI Python deps are already
installed - same assumption start.sh makes when invoked outside
a fresh bootstrap. For first-time setup, run bootstrap.py inside
WSL2 once to create the venv, then this script can use that venv.
.PARAMETER Port
TCP port the WebUI binds to. Overrides HERMES_WEBUI_PORT env.
Default: 8787.
.PARAMETER BindHost
Bind address. Overrides HERMES_WEBUI_HOST env.
Default: 127.0.0.1.
.EXAMPLE
.\start.ps1
# Bind to 127.0.0.1:8787, foreground.
.EXAMPLE
.\start.ps1 -Port 9000
# Bind to 127.0.0.1:9000.
.EXAMPLE
$env:HERMES_WEBUI_HOST = '0.0.0.0'
.\start.ps1
# Bind to all interfaces (set a password first via env or Settings).
