Alan Wizemann bfd9bab9a0 fix(health): stop external dashboards by port, not pkill -f
`stopDashboard()` used to fall back to `pkill -f "hermes dashboard"`
when the running dashboard wasn't a Scarf-spawned subprocess. That's
broad enough to match shell history, log tails, README readers, and
this very source file — anything with the substring "hermes
dashboard" in its argv was a kill target.

Replace with a port-anchored lookup: `lsof -tiTCP:<port> -sTCP:LISTEN`
returns the PID actually bound to the dashboard port, then we
`SIGTERM` only that one process. Trusting the port is correct here:
Scarf owns the configured port and the user-visible intent is "stop
the thing on this port."

We deliberately omit `lsof -c hermes`. Hermes installs as a Python
shebang script (verified locally — `file ~/.local/bin/hermes` →
"a python3 script text executable"), so the kernel COMM is `python` /
`python3`, never `hermes`. A `-c hermes` filter would silently miss
every standard install.

Cherry-picked from #76 with thanks to @unixwzrd for the direction;
this version drops the `-c hermes` filter to actually fire on real
Hermes installs.
