fix: skip Hermes config/wrapper integrity checks for tanko (DSH)

check_config_integrity and check_wrapper_integrity still probed tanko (CT 112)
for Hermes-only artifacts (/root/.hermes/config.yaml, the hermes CLI wrapper)
that no longer exist since tanko moved to DSH on 2026-08-27. This caused false
FAILs in the agent health check. Both now skip tanko via runtime=dsh.

 - **Port conflict detection (2026-07-05)**: All 3 GPU wrappers now detect ghost processes squatting port 8080 before starting. `.8` and `.110` use inline pre-start check in `llama-wrapper.sh`; `.15` uses `/usr/local/bin/port-cleanup.sh` ExecStartPre. Replaces the blanket `pkill -9 -x llama-server` on .15 which would kill ALL llama-server instances regardless of port. Ghost detection was the root cause of .8 crash-looping for 27+ restarts (stale pid 25836 squatting 8080 after OOM kill).
 - **Strix Halo thermal safeguard (2026-07-02)**: `strix-server.service` has `-n 8192` (hard generation cap per request). Without it, `--predict` defaults to -1 (infinity) — a runaway request from .123 (old Mumuni CT114 — now inside Abiba CT100 at .24) decoded 39,868 tokens over 24 min, pushing Tctl to 98°C (crit 89.8°C) and throttling 70→29 t/s. The cap bounds worst-case generation to ~5 min. Do NOT remove `-n` without a replacement ceiling. Sustained load hits ~84°C even at 92s; the APU is fanless/low-flow. Clients MUST also set `max_tokens`.
