Competing implementation with #6703 — both add HERMES_SKIP_GATEWAY_RESTART for #6702. Maintainer should pick one.

Competing implementation with #6703 — both add HERMES_SKIP_GATEWAY_RESTART for #6702. Maintainer should pick one.

Closing this ARegalado1 PR to reduce duplicate maintainer burden.

Triage summary:

• The underlying issue in fix: hermes update auto-restart kills in-process cron worker with no opt-out #6702 still appears valid: current main does not include HERMES_SKIP_GATEWAY_RESTART, and hermes update still has an unconditional gateway auto-restart path.
• This PR is not necessary as a separate PR because fix: add HERMES_SKIP_GATEWAY_RESTART env var to opt out of auto-restart #6703 already implements the same HERMES_SKIP_GATEWAY_RESTART opt-out for fix: hermes update auto-restart kills in-process cron worker with no opt-out #6702.
• feat(cron): run independent cron jobs in parallel with safe non-overlap #7158 is related scheduler/orphan-recovery hardening, but it does not replace the explicit update restart opt-out.
• This branch is also stale/conflicting against current main, so keeping it open as a competing implementation adds maintainer clutter without adding a materially different fix.

If maintainers prefer the ARegalado1 version for any reason, the branch can be revived/rebased, but the cleaner default is to let #6703 remain the primary PR for #6702.
