Following the grant's source on every save made a fresh device-code
login (or `hermes auth import`) under a profile that had been borrowing
root's Codex grant overwrite root's account instead of creating the
profile's own. Redirecting a save into another file is the exception, so
it is opt-in: the refresh path passes write_through=True; login, import
and recovery keep saving locally. The two save branches collapse into one
(store, path, set_active) triple.
Test: root discovery on Windows comes from LOCALAPPDATA — set it so the
fixture's root is the resolved root on every host.
The picked tests monkeypatched _auth_file_path/_global_auth_file_path
directly and leaned on a HOME override to dodge the pytest seat belt.
Isolate the way the rest of tests/hermes_cli does instead: Path.home ->
tmp_path and HERMES_HOME -> <root>/profiles/<name>, so the fixture drives
the same get_default_hermes_root() resolution production uses. Drop the
classic-mode test (no new behaviour: source == active store is the
pre-existing save path). Two invariants remain: root-borrowed refresh
lands in root (singleton + pool) with no profile shadow; profile-owned
grant stays local with root untouched.
Codex refresh tokens are single-use with rotation-family reuse
detection. _save_codex_tokens resolved the state via the profile's
root fallback but always persisted into the ACTIVE (profile) store, so
a profile-scoped refresh left the global store holding the consumed
refresh token — the next process to read it replayed it and OpenAI
revoked the whole rotation family, forcing a manual device-code
re-auth (#87503; observed four times on one multi-profile deployment).
Mirror the xAI source-aware save (#43589/#74339): resolve the state
with _load_provider_state_with_source; when the grant came from the
global root, write the rotated chain back to root only — singleton AND
credential_pool entries, under the root store's own lock, without
creating a shadowing profile key. Best-effort, with the same pytest
seat belt as the xAI path.
