feat(doctor): surface Herdr task-summary sidebar setup

[Alan-TheGentleman]

Closes #2071

Summary

• Inside Herdr, /gentle:doctor now shows a read-only Herdr section: whether task-summary publishing is active (or why not: child session, no interactive TUI, socket path not a Unix socket), the two sidebar rows ['$summary'], ['$summary2'], that rows belong to the config of the client that displays the session (including over SSH), and to reload or restart Herdr.
• Outside Herdr the doctor output is unchanged. No startup notification, no new command, never writes Herdr config.
• Verified first: no command or UI surfaced this setup; it lived only in docs/readme-reference.md.

Changes

File	Change
lib/herdr-activity.ts	herdrDetected(env) and pure herdrSetupHint(env, session)
extensions/gentle-ai.ts	doctor appends the Herdr section
extensions/gentle-herdr-activity.ts	activation uses herdrDetected (same condition, refactor only)
docs/readme-reference.md	Herdr section points to /gentle:doctor; doctor descriptions updated
tests/herdr-activity.test.ts, tests/gentle-ai-doctor-herdr.test.ts	hint text and gating; doctor output inside/outside Herdr with a real Unix socket

Test plan

• RED observed: missing herdrDetected export; doctor output had no Herdr block.
• node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/herdr-activity.test.ts tests/gentle-ai-doctor-herdr.test.ts: 22 pass, 0 fail (re-run by the parent).
• tests/gentle-herdr-activity.test.ts (activation refactor): 5 pass.
• npm test: exit 0, 6631 pass, 0 fail. node scripts/check-types.mjs: no regressions.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • /gentle:doctor now includes read-only diagnostics for the Herdr task-summary sidebar, showing whether activity publishing is active and providing setup and reload guidance.
  • When publishing is inactive, the diagnostics identify relevant conditions, such as a child session, a noninteractive session, or an invalid socket.

• Documentation

  • Added Herdr sidebar diagnostics to the /gentle:doctor quick-start list and command reference.

📝 Walkthrough

/gentle:doctor now reports Herdr task-summary sidebar setup status and read-only configuration guidance. Shared Herdr detection supports both the doctor diagnostics and the activity extension. Reference documentation and tests cover the setup guidance and status checks.

Changes: Herdr setup diagnostics

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Herdr detection and setup status lib/herdr-activity.ts, extensions/gentle-herdr-activity.ts, tests/herdr-activity.test.ts	Shared helpers detect Herdr sessions and identify conditions that make activity publishing inactive. The activity extension now uses the shared detection helper. Tests cover detection and setup status.
Doctor diagnostics and setup guidance extensions/gentle-ai.ts, tests/gentle-ai-doctor-herdr.test.ts, docs/readme-reference.md	/gentle:doctor checks the Herdr socket and appends setup hints. Tests cover output inside and outside Herdr, including a missing socket. The reference documentation describes the read-only guidance.
