The named-profile branch of the "Active Hermes profile" hint built its
paths by appending `/profiles/{active_profile}` to `get_hermes_home()`.
But `_resolve_active_profile_name()` returns a non-default name *only*
when `get_hermes_home()` has already resolved under `<root>/profiles/`
— that is how it derives the name in the first place. Both scoping
mechanisms (a `HERMES_HOME=<root>/profiles/<name>` env var and the
multiplexer's `set_hermes_home_override` contextvar) satisfy that, so
the suffix always doubled.
The same branch used `get_hermes_home()` for the *default* profile's
data pointers, where the root was intended — placing them inside the
active profile.
On a real 4-profile install the hint rendered:
reads and writes ~/.hermes/profiles/via/profiles/via/
default profile's data lives at ~/.hermes/profiles/via/skills/
against actual paths of `~/.hermes/profiles/via/` and `~/.hermes/skills/`.
Use the session home directly as the profile home, and
`get_default_hermes_root()` for the root pointers. Every named-profile
session was shipping a prompt that named nonexistent directories and
mislabeled this profile's own skills/plugins/cron/memories as the
default profile's — the exact cross-profile confusion the hint and
`classify_cross_profile_target` exist to prevent.
The default-profile branch is unchanged.
