- #124050: \[Bug\]: hermes doctor permanently reports "Hermes entry point not found (<gen>/workspace/hermes)" on PM installs — the staged workspace never contains the launcher
- PR #123056: fix(pm): a generation workspace resolves launch contracts through its owning install
- PR #124059: fix(pm): stage launcher scripts into workspace and check fallback launcher locations in doctor

A bug causes the doctor command to permanently report the Hermes entry point as not found on PM installs, because it checks a workspace path where the launcher is never staged. The fixes address launcher staging into the workspace and correct the path resolution logic used by doctor.
