Subject: [PATCH] fix(host): make vendor-hermes --silent actually silent
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The spinners were passed `isEnabled: !silent`. A disabled ora spinner still
writes `- <text>` on start and the success/fail symbol on completion (to
stderr) — it only skips the animation. `isSilent` is the option that
suppresses output entirely.

Callers capture stdout only (`$(... --silent)` in CI and the Gradle error
message, backticks in patch-hermes.rb), so the stray output was noise rather
than a broken path, but `--silent` now does what it says.

+Make `vendor-hermes --silent` actually silent. The spinners were passed
+`isEnabled: false`, which stops the animation but still writes the spinner text
+and its final symbol to stderr. They now use `isSilent`, which suppresses the
+output entirely, leaving the vendored Hermes path on stdout as the command's
+only output.
