- PR #142326: fix(update): restore the autostash instead of prompting gateway-driven updates

The members concern \`hermes update\` stopping at an autostash restore prompt on macOS, which is reported to prevent the post-update gateway restart. Two pull requests propose changes (a timeout on the prompt, and restoring the autostash rather than prompting for gateway-driven updates); their outcomes are not stated in the titles.
