A profile belongs to one gateway, but the Capabilities surface (Skills /
Tools / MCP) always read and wrote through the window's active backend —
scoping to a remote-owned profile silently edited the wrong machine.
- hermes.ts: capability REST helpers accept a ProfileScope
(string | {connectionId, profile}); ambient path now also carries the
active registry connection tag (same contract as the cron helpers,
#87882); profileScopeKey namespaces cache keys per connection.
- SkillsView: scope selector lists (profile, device) rows from the union
agent roster on multi-connection desktops; new fixedConnection prop
pins the whole view to a registered connection (plugin door), with a
probe-able SkillsView.supportsFixedConnection flag.
- MCP tab: live reload.mcp RPC withheld for cross-backend scopes (it
rides the active gateway socket and would reload the wrong machine).
- Bot Mode: remote-target drafts now get the live Capabilities tab
pinned to the target machine via fixedConnection, feature-detected so
older desktops keep the staged checklists.
- Config-record/hub-action stores accept scopes; cache keys fold in the
connection id so two gateways' same-named profiles never share rows.
