On Windows native installs (and any Hermes-managed install where agent-browser is vendored without a package-lock.json), `hermes doctor` was reporting phantom 'X npm vulnerabilities' and telling users to run `npm audit fix` inside the Hermes-managed directory in %LOCALAPPDATA%. That fix path is un-actionable: - `npm audit fix` requires a lockfile to safely update - The path is Hermes-managed; users should not hand-edit it - Vulnerabilities in vendored deps are addressed by the Hermes release pipeline, not by individual user action Now doctor checks for package-lock.json before running the audit. When it's missing, the audit is skipped and three info lines explain: 1. why the audit was skipped (no package-lock.json) 2. that vulnerabilities are managed by the release pipeline 3. that users should not run `npm audit fix` inside that path Regression tests cover both the no-lockfile (skip) and lockfile-present (run normally) paths. Closes NousResearch#36893.

Summary\nWhen npm audit runs inside a Hermes-managed install that has node_modules but no package-lock.json (e.g. Windows native vendored installs), the audit itself works but the only safe remediation —
npm audit fix— cannot run without a lockfile. This PR skips the audit in that case and tells the user why.\n\nFixes #36893\n\n## Files changed\n-hermes_cli/doctor.py— skip check + informative messages\n-tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor.py— regression tests
