These items address a bug where a mirrored or live HERMES_HOME environment variable can corrupt routed-profile detection across agent, profile, and MCP layers. Fixes center on anchoring a context-local or launch-time home value so background paths and profile routing decisions stay stable under multiplexed or embedding-host scenarios.
