- PR #101798: fix(photon): mirror all runtime sidecar modules to writable dir

A bug was identified where the Hermes photon setup did not copy all required .mjs sidecar files, leaving the sidecar directory incomplete. Fixes were proposed to mirror all sidecar modules dynamically rather than relying on a fixed list.
