+# Delegation Readiness Doctor — Readiness Proof
+
+Generated: 2026-04-22 18:50 CDT
+
+## Result
+READINESS_SURFACE_SHIPPED
+
+## What changed this block
+- Added `get_delegate_readiness_status()` to `tools/delegate_tool.py` so delegation readiness is no longer an unconditional stub.
+- Replaced `check_delegate_requirements()` with a config-aware readiness gate.
+- Added a canonical `◆ Delegation Readiness` section to `hermes doctor` via `hermes_cli/doctor.py`.
+- Added focused tests for both the delegate readiness helper and the doctor output path.
+
+## Verification
+### Focused tests
+- `pytest tests/tools/test_delegate.py -q -k 'available_when_no_override_is_configured or available_when_override_resolves or unavailable_when_override_resolution_fails or readiness_status_exposes_fix_path'`
+- `pytest tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor.py -q -k 'delegation_readiness or reports_ready_status or reports_blocked_status_with_fix'`
+- Result: 4 passed + 2 passed
+
+### Live readiness diagnosis
+```python
+{'available': True, 'reason': 'override resolves successfully via minimax', 'fix': '', 'details': {'model': 'MiniMax-M2.7', 'provider': 'minimax', 'base_url': 'https://api.minimax.io/v1', 'api_key': 'sk-cp-...4le8', 'api_mode': 'chat_completions'}}
+```
+
+### Doctor surface
+`python -m hermes_cli.main doctor` now includes:
+- `◆ Delegation Readiness`
+- `✓ Delegation ready (override resolves successfully via minimax)`
+
+### Passing delegated run
+A real `delegate_task` proof run completed successfully after the patch and returned a summary confirming the new readiness surfaces in:
+- `tools/delegate_tool.py`
+- `hermes_cli/doctor.py`
+- `tests/tools/test_delegate.py`
+- `tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor.py`
+
+## Honest next move
+Use the new doctor/readiness surface to identify one intentionally broken delegation state, then prove the fix path flips the doctor call from blocked to ready and still ends in a passing delegated run.
