The _scan_gateway_pids function in gateway.py opens /proc//cmdline for every process on the host without a context manager, leaking one file descriptor per matching process. While CPython GC eventually collects unclosed files, on a heavily loaded gateway host this can exhaust the process FD limit over repeated status checks.

👋 fixes a file descriptor leak in _scan_gateway_pids — /proc//cmdline was opened without a context manager, leaking one FD per process. Now uses . Low risk, follows standard Python patterns.

⚠️ Security flag — do not merge as-is. This PR's stated change is a trivial one-line fix in hermes_cli/web_server.py, but the diff also deletes all 17 GitHub Actions workflow files (.github/workflows/*/dev/null), including nix.yml, tests.yml, osv-scanner.yml, supply-chain-audit.yml, docker-publish.yml, and upload_to_pypi.yml. This removes all CI and security scanning (which is also why no checks ran on the branch). Whether intentional or a badly-rebased fork, the workflow deletions must be dropped — only the single-line source change should remain. Flagging for maintainer review.

Near-duplicate of #36804 — both fix the same /proc//cmdline fd leak in the gateway PID scan via a with-block. See also #27910/#28472 for the same leak in the sibling scan function.

Closing — duplicate of #36804 (same FD leak fix in gateway.py, same title).
