feat: graceful shutdown, disconnect-driven cancellation, and queue acceptance coverage

- server.mjs tracks in-flight chats: browser disconnects abort the
  queued turn (releasing its slot), and SIGTERM/SIGINT cancels every
  in-flight turn so no Hermes subprocess is orphaned.
- vision-service forwards a per-request AbortSignal combined with the
  provider deadline via AbortSignal.any.
- acceptance suites cover overload fallback, urgent bypass under
  saturation, disconnect cleanup, recovery, and shutdown orphan checks.
- zero-call invariant tests prove urgent text never reaches Hermes or
  the vision provider under load.
