These issues and PRs concern a bug in the install script where the --hermes-home flag is never exported as an environment variable, causing child processes like the launcher and skills_sync to silently ignore it and fall back to platform defaults. The members propose exporting HERMES_HOME so the custom path propagates correctly.
