Delegation Readiness Doctor — Ship Review

Ship decision

SHIPPABLE_ON_PROVED_LINE

Honest shipped claim

From a live Hermes repo state, the delegation readiness surface can:

  1. report live readiness through python -m hermes_cli.main doctor
  2. fail closed on an intentionally broken delegation override from an isolated temporary HERMES_HOME
  3. show the canonical repair path back to ready
  4. complete a real delegated run from the live ready environment

Proof / evidence checked this block

Live doctor call

  • Command: python -m hermes_cli.main doctor
  • Verified output included:
    • ◆ Delegation Readiness
    • ✓ Delegation ready (override resolves successfully via minimax)

Broken-state roundtrip

  • Command: bash starter-kits/delegation-readiness-doctor/scripts/prove-broken-state-roundtrip.sh
  • Result: BROKEN_STATE_ROUNDTRIP_PROVED
  • Fresh artifact emitted at:
    • starter-kits/delegation-readiness-doctor/artifacts/broken-state-roundtrip-2026-04-22T20-07-18-0500.md
    • starter-kits/delegation-readiness-doctor/artifacts/latest-broken-state-roundtrip.md

Live delegated run

  • Tool: delegate_task
  • Goal used: Return a one-line confirmation that delegation executed successfully.
  • Result: READY: delegation executed successfully

Packaging corrections made in the same block

  • Updated starter-kits/delegation-readiness-doctor/README.md so it no longer claims the original unconditional-stub gap still exists.
  • Replaced artifacts/latest-current-gap-report.md with a historical-baseline note so the starter kit stops presenting stale kickoff proof as live truth.
  • Froze this ship review as the canonical package decision artifact.

Remaining blocker

The product claim is proved, but repo durability is not yet frozen into an isolated clean commit surface. git status --short still shows broad unrelated working-tree changes outside this starter kit.

Exact next move

Isolate the Delegation Readiness Doctor changes into a clean commit/PR surface, then package launch/distribution from that durable repo state instead of from a mixed working tree.
