    * ``_reapply_terminal_config_bridge`` guards "only re-bridge config into
      the shared ``os.environ`` when THIS load is for the process's own
      profile". If this followed the task override, a per-turn handler scoped
      to a *secondary* profile (the multiplex dashboard serving every profile
      from one process) would satisfy the guard and bridge that profile's
      ``terminal.backend`` into the shared env — e.g. a ``local`` sibling
      profile clobbering the launch profile's ``TERMINAL_ENV=ssh`` while
      leaving its ``TERMINAL_SSH_*`` untouched, so the session silently runs
      commands locally (cross-profile terminal-backend leak).
    * ``_load_secrets_config`` uses it to decide whether the shared
      (mtime,size)-keyed config cache is safe to reuse; under an override it
      must fall through to an isolated parse of the scoped profile.

    ``hermes_constants.get_process_hermes_home()`` is the override-immune
    resolver built for exactly this; delegate to it.
