fix: use Windows ACLs for credential file permissions in backup import (#56923)

[AlexFucuson9]

Summary

os.chmod(path, 0o600) is a no-op on Windows — the file keeps its default 0o666 mode bits. This means credential-shaped files restored by hermes import are not tightened on Windows.

Changes

Add _restrict_file_permissions() helper to hermes_cli/backup.py:

• POSIX: calls os.chmod(path, 0o600) as before
• Windows: uses ctypes to call SetFileSecurityW / SetNamedSecurityInfoW with a DACL granting full access only to the current user and SYSTEM
• Fallback: clears world-readable bits if Windows API calls fail

Replaces two bare os.chmod(target, 0o600) calls (lines 604, 648) with the cross-platform helper.

Why ctypes instead of pywin32

The pywin32 package (win32security) is an optional dependency. Using ctypes to call advapi32 directly avoids adding a hard dependency for a single function.

Competing with #56946 (@liuhao1024) for the same fix (#56923). This PR actively sets a Windows DACL (current-user + SYSTEM) via ctypes; #56946 instead skips the chmod on Windows and makes the test platform-aware, relying on the inherited NTFS ACL that already restricts new files to owner/SYSTEM/Administrators. Both are valid — leaving open for a maintainer to pick minimal (#56946) vs. belt-and-suspenders (#56949).

Thanks for addressing the Windows credential-restore gap; current main still has the two bare chmod(0o600) calls at hermes_cli/backup.py:604 and :648.

Problems

• The proposed SetNamedSecurityInfoW fallback at PR hermes_cli/backup.py:105-108 passes a security descriptor as pDacl and ignores the API return code. pDacl must be an ACL, so a primary-call failure can silently retain the inherited DACL.
• The final fallback at PR hermes_cli/backup.py:116 repeats the chmod(0o600) operation the PR identifies as ineffective on Windows.
• The diff adds no tests. Current tests/hermes_cli/test_backup.py:2471 asserts POSIX mode bits unconditionally, so it does not validate an NTFS ACL.

Suggested changes

• Use correctly declared ctypes signatures, pass a real ACL to SetNamedSecurityInfoW (or retain one checked SetFileSecurityW path), check every return value, and release native resources.
• Add a Windows-gated DACL verification test and restrict the existing mode-bit assertion to POSIX.

SetNamedSecurityInfoW takes a PACL as its sixth argument, but sd is the PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR returned by ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorW; also check its DWORD return value. As written, a failed primary call can reach this branch, silently fail again, and return as though the DACL was restricted.

This repeats the 0o600 chmod operation that the PR identifies as ineffective on Windows, so it cannot be a security fallback after an ACL API failure. Use a verified ACL-specific fallback or report the failure instead.
