Hermes Agent v0.13.0 introduced a persistent Kanban board where multiple agents claim, hand off, and complete tasks using heartbeats, reclaim, zombie detection, retry budgets, incomplete-exit blocking, and a hallucination gate. A goal mode kept an agent focused across turns, and gateway sessions resumed after restarts.
