Cherry-picked from PR NousResearch#807 by 0xNyk, rebased onto current main. When HERMES_TIMEZONE differs from system local timezone, naive (legacy) timestamps were misinterpreted by _ensure_aware() — it stamped them with the Hermes timezone via replace(tzinfo=...), but they were created using datetime.now() (system local time). This could shift the absolute time and cause overdue jobs to appear not-due. Fix: interpret naive datetimes as system-local wall time first, then convert to Hermes timezone. Already-aware datetimes are normalized to Hermes timezone for consistent comparisons. Added 3 tests: - _ensure_aware preserves absolute time for naive datetimes - _ensure_aware normalizes aware datetimes to Hermes tz - get_due_jobs detects naive past timestamps as due even when Hermes tz is far behind system local tz (the scenario from NousResearch#806) Fixes NousResearch#806 Co-authored-by: Nyk <0xnykcd@googlemail.com>

Cherry-picked from PR #1308 by 0xNyk. Adds an end-to-end regression test covering a Hermes timezone far behind system local time (Pacific/Midway, UTC-11) to ensure legacy naive cron timestamps are still recognized as due under large timezone mismatches.
