Hermes Memory Installer Fix Enables Dynamic Sidecar Loading
The hermes-memory-installer project now allows runtime scripts to access memory sidecar modules, which are precompiled bytecode segments stored in memory. Previously, these modules were only loadable at installation time, limiting dynamic code splitting. The fix checks for matching sidecar identifiers during runtime resolution, bypassing slower file system reads.
