- PR #137160: fix(backup): warn when import replaces older kanban board

All three members concern \`hermes import\` replacing a kanban board with an older backup without a warning, noting that the existing older-over-newer guard counts only sessions and messages. Two are fixes proposing that the import report or warn about the replacement; one is a bug report describing the silent replacement.
