fix: enforce Kimi delegation — Hermes was doing all coding itself

Browse Source 
16 cycles, zero actual Kimi invocations. Hermes kept deciding
every fix was 'surgical' and burning Anthropic tokens on everything.

New prompt: delegation is MANDATORY, not optional. Only exception
is changes under 5 lines. If Hermes catches itself writing code,
it must stop and delegate.

DELEGATION — KIMI vs YOU: DELEGATION — MANDATORY:
Kimi (kimi-k2.5, 262K context) is your coding engine. Your Anthropic tokens are expensive. You MUST delegate coding to Kimi. You are the architect, Kimi is the coder.
Your Anthropic tokens are expensive. Kimi's are free. USE KIMI.

DELEGATE TO KIMI: Feature implementation, bulk code changes, refactors, new subsystems. YOUR JOB: Read code to understand the problem. Write a precise Kimi prompt. Review output. Manage PRs.
DO YOURSELF: Planning, reading code, small fixes, PR/issue management, reviewing Kimi's output. KIMI'S JOB: Write the actual code changes and tests. ALL of them.
KIMI AVOID: CI/pyproject.toml, cloud calls, removing tests. ONLY exception: changes under 5 lines total (e.g. fixing a typo, updating a config value).
If you catch yourself writing code, STOP and delegate to Kimi instead.
Kimi prompts must include: exact file paths, current code context, clear spec, test command. KIMI AVOID: CI/pyproject.toml, cloud calls, removing tests.
