Hermes installs brand-swapped "Claude Code" -> "Hermes Agent" in shipped
workflows/*.md but never projected the Agent(...) dispatch calls onto
Hermes's delegate_task contract, so installed workflows kept literal
Agent(...) syntax and falsely asserted "The Agent tool IS available"
(Hermes exposes delegate_task, not Agent).
Dispatch projection: a generic named-dispatch engine
(projectNamedDispatchToStructuralDelegate) wired into the per-runtime
RUNTIME_CONTENT_DISPATCH.hermes.md converter, branching entirely on the
documentation-sourced hostIntegration.dispatch facts read via
_hostIntegrationDispatch (capability.json unchanged): namedDispatch:false
-> resolve the gsd-* role and embed a load-its-prompt instruction in the
payload; background:true -> map onto delegate_task background; read-only /
maxDepth:1 -> no nested delegation to leaf roles; per-call model dropped.
Span detection uses literal Agent( scanning + local balanced paren/quote
matching (immune to upstream document quote imbalance) and handles all
three corpus call forms (multi-line, object-literal, single-line compact).
An independent, mask-free post-projection guard fails the install loud on
any residual Agent(/subagent_type/leaked model. Fail-closed: install
throws if a literal gsd-* role reference cannot be resolved. commands ->
skill path untouched. No literal Agent( survives in installed Hermes
workflows.
Folded in (maintainer-directed) a pre-existing cross-cutting branding
defect: the "Claude Code" -> brand swap corrupted <runtime_compatibility>
comparison tables (where "Claude Code" is a compared-runtime label) for
every branding runtime. New shared applyClaudeCodeBrandSwap helper
protects <runtime_compatibility> regions via split-and-rejoin (no sentinel
token) while still rebranding genuine self-references; adopted by all six
branding .md converters. Also a surgical prose-consistency fix so
plan-review-convergence.md's dispatch-adjacent terminology is coherent
post-projection (no broad bare-word rename).
Golden install-parity regenerated for the six branding runtimes
(dispatch/branding scope only); other runtimes unchanged.
