- PR #119646: fix(gateway): count a service job's gateway descendants as service PIDs (#105938)

These items address how hermes update handles systemd-managed gateways whose MainPID belongs to a wrapper process (e.g. doppler run), resolving incorrect PID resolution and unintended killing of freshly-restarted gateway services.
