honcho_profile(peer="user") returned an empty card even when Honcho
held a populated peer card for the user. Two independent bugs combined
to produce the symptom:
1. Read path: get_peer_card() called _fetch_peer_card(observer, target=user),
which hits GET /peers/{observer}/card?target={user} — the observer's local
card of the user. On self-hosted Honcho v3 this slot is empty unless writes
also use it. The peer card lives on the user peer itself
(GET /peers/{user}/card). Add a fallback: when the observer-target slot is
empty and a target exists, retry against the target peer's own card.
2. Write path: set_peer_card() resolved only the target peer and called
user_peer.set_card(card). The read path uses the assistant peer as
observer, so writes and reads addressed different Honcho card scopes.
Align set_peer_card() with _resolve_observer_target() so writes go to
assistant_peer.set_card(card, target=user_peer_id), matching the read.
Both paths now use the same observer/target resolution, and the read
path additionally falls back to the target's own card for compatibility
with deployments where cards were written directly to the peer.

Summary
honcho_profile(card=[...])write semantics so profile updates are written to the same observer-target card namespace thathoncho_profile()reads.Root cause
get_peer_card()reads the assistant observer's local card about a target peer viaassistant.get_card(target=<user-peer>), butset_peer_card()wrote only to the target peer's self-card via<user-peer>.set_card(...). That made writes appear successful while later reads could return an empty profile.Test plan
