47e394895d release: #7160 stale-runtime report + hardened Agent-update marker read (#7502)
* rebase #7160 onto master (report unverified Agent updates, no auto-restart)

Co-authored-by: hrdwdmrbl <hrdwdmrbl@users.noreply.github.com>

* harden agent-update marker read: no-follow, fstat regular-file, bounded (fixes gate CORE)

The Agent update marker is attacker-adjacent shared state. _read_live_agent_update()
used Path.read_text(), which follows symlinks, blocks forever on a FIFO, and reads an
unbounded regular file — a rejected/stale-runtime request could hang or OOM. Now opens
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOFOLLOW, fstat-verifies a small regular file, and reads a bounded
max, classifying anything else as 'unknown' (fail-closed). Adds FIFO/oversized/symlink/
happy-path regression tests.

* fix marker-read portability: gate os.open fast-path on O_NONBLOCK+O_NOFOLLOW

os.O_NONBLOCK is Unix-only; accessing it unconditionally raised AttributeError
on native Windows, breaking every stale-revision barrier (chat/compression/etc).
Now both flags resolve via getattr and the os.open() fast path is taken only
when BOTH are available (_MARKER_SAFE_OPEN_AVAILABLE); otherwise fall back to an
lstat-only classification (absent vs unknown) so a fallback platform can never
symlink-traverse or crash. Adds a Windows-fallback regression test.
