worker.bstein.dev (the hermes-agent Deployment) gains the same HUX
shape as chat, staged and inert: a foundation-only hux sidecar on the
reviewed WebUI image line (Flux setters bound, 5s probe budgets), an
init that provisions the HMAC identity as slot-100 on the durable home
subtree (create-once context key, O_EXCL subject binding, per-pod
worker key; no relay/router/evidence keys so those trusts fail closed),
and observe-only hook env in the agent container with the runtime
plugin mounted but deliberately NOT enabled - activation is a reviewed
one-line flip per docs/hux/WORKER-PLAN.md, which carries the rollout,
verification gates, canary/rollback ladder and open questions.
Cross-surface continuity remains unclaimed until the live gates pass.
