Hermes Desktop, Bitwarden, Ollama and T3 Code fail with raw 'target not found' on aarch64 (Hermes has an aarch64 AUR package the menu never tries)

Summary

Four Install-menu entries fail with a raw target not found on the aarch64 guest. They aren't in aarch64-unavailable-packages and don't get the friendly "unavailable on ARM" message. For one of them a working aarch64 package does exist; it just can't be reached by the install path the menu uses.

Found by auditing every package-backed Install entry on this guest (related: #261, #262, #263).

Environment

Try Omarchy v0.4.1, guest try-omarchy-runtime 4.0.3-1 (Omarchy 4.0.0.alpha), aarch64

Entries

Install menu entry	Package	aarch64 availability	Problem
AI → Hermes Desktop	`hermes-desktop`	AUR supports aarch64 (`arch=(aarch64 x86_64)`)	`omarchy-install-ai-hermes` uses `omarchy-pkg-add`, which is pacman-only, so the AUR package is never tried. It should use `omarchy-pkg-aur-add`, or the package should be published in the Omarchy aarch64 repo.
Service → Bitwarden	`bitwarden` (+ `bitwarden-cli`)	`bitwarden-cli` is in ALARM `extra`, but the desktop app `bitwarden` isn't in ALARM or the AUR for aarch64	Fails with `target not found`. It should be refused cleanly, or install the CLI and point to the web vault.
AI → Ollama	`ollama` (non-GPU branch of the menu action)	Not in ALARM or the AUR. Upstream Ollama ships official linux-arm64 builds, but nothing packages them for this guest.	Fails with `target not found`. Needs an aarch64 package or a clean refusal.
AI → T3 Code	`t3code-bin`	AUR `arch=(x86_64)` only	Fails with `target not found`. PR #253 (open) would add an ARM64 lazy-load path; until that ships, it should be refused.

Expected

Hermes Desktop installs on aarch64, since a package exists.
Bitwarden, Ollama and T3 Code either install through a supported aarch64 path or are refused with the same "unavailable on ARM" message as the other entries, rather than a raw pacman error in a floating terminal that closes.

Status check on current Omarchy edge aarch64 (post thin-shell refactor):

Entry	Current state
Ollama	Available — `omarchy/ollama 0.35.0-1` resolves on aarch64
T3 Code	Available — `omarchy/t3code-bin 0.1.0-1` resolves on aarch64
Spotify	Already gated upstream with `when: omarchy-hw-x86`
Bitwarden desktop	Still missing on aarch64 (`target not found`)
Hermes Desktop	Still missing Omarchy's `hermes-desktop` on aarch64. The AUR recipe is a different packaging than Omarchy's installer expects (`/usr/share/hermes-desktop/install.sh`, runtime patch, install stamp), so switching the menu to `omarchy-pkg-aur-add` is not a drop-in fix

Opened #379 to hide Bitwarden and Hermes Desktop behind omarchy-hw-x86, matching the gaming-row pattern, so Install no longer dumps a raw pacman error.
