Editor lane + /team menu with auto-setup, plus the two hi-local fixes team-bench demanded

[davidrhodus]

What

Follow-up to #133/#134 — turns the bench findings into workflow structure, and makes /team a one-keystroke experience.

Task-shaped routing (bench-proven)

• delegate gains kind: "author" | "edit". Mechanical edits route to a new editor role (/team editor <model>, HI_EDITOR_* env) when configured; authoring stays on the delegate route; unknown kinds can never land on the small model.
• Fixed: the direct delegate tool path ignored team routes entirely (only background tasks routed). It now rides run_routed with the kind-aware route.

Two hi-local fixes, both flushed out by hi team-bench

• NemotronH thinks itself to death: the shipped template defaults enable_thinking=True, burning the whole output budget in <think>. NemotronH now renders with an empty think block (same stance as the DeepSeek-V4-Flash / SmolLM3 / MiniMax paths). Effect: nemotron-4b 1/4 → 4/6.
• Generation never stopped: eos ids from generation_config.json now merge into the stop set. The 4B declares eos=2 in config.json but [2, 11] in generation_config — <|im_end|> never terminated a turn, so every completion ran to the token cap: 93s for 5-second answers. 20-70× latency fix.

v4 bench (6 tasks, compiled + asserted; TTFT is new)

*json 1.3s; repair failed. The editor lane wins bugfix/edit/multiedit/json on wall-clock — that's the routing table.

Easier to use

• Bare /team opens an interactive role menu (auto-setup / delegate / editor / explore / skeptic / planner, live assignments per row); Enter drills into the annotated model picker.
• auto-setup row / /team auto (TUI + REPL): delegate → best verified local model, editor+explore → the fast small one, skeptic → same server; provisioning chains through the single download slot with reuse.
• Esc bug fixed: cancelling a team picker used to leave role state armed, so the next /model pick silently assigned a team role.

Also

• Delegates in unconfigured Rust/Go workspaces derive a build gate (cargo check --workspace --all-targets / go build ./...) instead of "delegate unavailable" — the child's verify-repair loop now fires everywhere.
• /config skeptic-local on reuses a running team server (free review, no second model in RAM); disabling restores routes without killing the executors' server.
• team-bench grows multiedit (cross-file rename, both files must compile), repair (fix from a real rustc error), and time-to-first-token per task + median column.
• DeepSeek V4 Flash joins the catalog (verified mlx-community ladder: 2bit-DQ@128GB / 3bit-DQ@192GB / 4bit@256GB / 8bit@512GB; 4bit = 151GB on disk). hi-local speaks V4 natively; entry is explicit-pick until a 128GB+ machine runs the bench, per the promotion gate.
• nemotron-30b demoted with an honest 0/6 label.

Tests

1,710 pass across hi-agent / hi-tools / hi / hi-tui / hi-local-core / hi-mlx, including new coverage for kind routing, the role menu + auto-setup queue, Esc state clearing, the eos merge, NemotronH priming on both render paths, derived verify gates, skeptic reuse, and the new bench validators.
