Fix #103961: Drain embedded Kanban workers before gateway restart

[RohithPariki]

Problem

The gateway restart force-kill path was abruptly sending SIGKILL to Kanban workers without accounting for them during the drain window, violating supervisor crash expectations.

Root Cause

Kanban workers were missing from the shutdown drain accounting (_drain_work_counts), and there was no mechanism to durably block and SIGTERM them when the drain timed out.

Solution

Added _active_kanban_worker_count to wait for non-wedged workers, paused dispatching while _draining, and implemented _stop_interrupt_kanban_workers to durably block (via
un_id CAS) and SIGTERM still-live workers.

Testing

Manual inspection of shutdown sequences and regression verification (pytest tests pass or are skipped properly).

Risk

Low risk. Shutdown sequences are safer, no impact on normal running path.

Issue

Closes #103961

Duplicate of #103961 — that item is an open PR (not an issue) implementing the same change: count live Kanban workers in the gateway drain and SIGTERM them before force-kill. #103961 was opened earlier, fails closed on scan errors, and carries tests.

I wrote regression tests covering all three new code paths in this PR:

1. Dispatcher drain guard — confirms _draining pauses the dispatcher watcher
2. _active_kanban_worker_count() — error resilience and delegation to kanban_db_dispatch
3. count_live_host_local_workers_all_boards() / interrupt_host_local_workers() — error handling and board-skip logic

I also found and fixed a bug in interrupt_host_local_workers(): the import from hermes_cli._subprocess_compat import kill fails because the function is named kill_process_tree, not kill. Fixed with import kill_process_tree as kill.

"""Tests for #103961: Drain embedded Kanban workers before gateway restart.

Also, the import in interrupt_host_local_workers() references a non-existent name:

    from hermes_cli._subprocess_compat import kill_process_tree as kill

The function is named kill_process_tree, not kill. This would crash at runtime when the gateway tries to interrupt kanban workers during shutdown.

Closed as a duplicate of #103961. Thank you @crazyief for catching the invalid import and providing the comprehensive test suite
