docs: add post-update validation guidance

Browse Source 
Adds a concise post-update validation checklist (git status, hermes
doctor, version check, gateway status). Adapted from PR #3050 with
corrections — removed inaccurate submodule claim (hermes update
already handles submodules) and tightened the checklist.

Cherry-picked and adapted from PR #3050.

### Recommended Post-Update Validation
`hermes update` handles the main update path, but a quick validation confirms everything landed cleanly:
1. `git status --short` — if the tree is unexpectedly dirty, inspect before continuing
2. `hermes doctor` — checks config, dependencies, and service health
3. `hermes --version` — confirm the version bumped as expected
4. If you use the gateway: `hermes gateway status`
5. If `doctor` reports npm audit issues: run `npm audit fix` in the flagged directory
:::warning Dirty working tree after update
If `git status --short` shows unexpected changes after `hermes update`, stop and inspect them before continuing. This usually means local modifications were reapplied on top of the updated code, or a dependency step refreshed lockfiles.
