Ask the installer who owns the Hermes wrapper

Three files spelled out the line that marks ~/.local/bin/hermes as Omarchy's:
the installer that writes it, Remove Preinstalls, and the migration. Two of
them were copies, and a change to what ownership means would have left them
matching a line nobody writes any more -- Remove Preinstalls quietly sweeping
nothing, the migration mistaking Omarchy's own wrapper for a stranger's.

omarchy-install-hermes-cli --owns answers it now, and the other two ask. The
installer's own metadata was also a flag behind: --check has been there since
this landed and was never listed.

A test pins the marker to one file, so a second copy fails rather than drifts.
