The smoke driver created .desktop-smoke-home inside the predicted Hermes
home before checking that the home was empty. Bundles with stamped env
that retained the explicit HERMES_HOME failed before Electron launched.
Resolve and admit the predicted home before any sandbox writes. Keep the
existing-profile refusal and provider seeding intact. Extend the seeding
contract for onboarding defaults and forced home clears.
Verified the old failure and fixed launch boundary on native Windows ARM64
with real driver imports and filesystem writes. Full package install/chat
acceptance still needs a fresh hosted smoke run.
