kanban-worker

The Kanban worker lifecycle in Hermes task dispatching follows the orient, work, heartbeat, block, and complete stages. KANBAN_GUIDANCE is injected directly into system prompts to drive these tasks, ensuring structured execution and clear handoff strategies for cross-agent collaboration across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Handling Kanban worker edge cases requires implementing structured guardrails for workspace handling and tenant isolation. This ensures deterministic prompts and reliable execution across Linux, macOS, and Windows, preventing cross-tenant contamination and resolving unexpected failure modes in multi-agent scenarios.

Yes, Hermes Kanban workers apply to multi-agent scenarios across Linux, macOS, and Windows. They support cross-agent collaboration by providing concrete handoff strategies, retry diagnostics, and failure-handling patterns to maintain debuggability and reliability regardless of the operating system.

Kanban workers may block tasks instead of completing them due to failure modes in the heartbeat or work stages of the lifecycle. Applying structured failure-handling patterns, retry diagnostics, and clear handoff strategies can resolve these dispatching bottlenecks and improve system reliability.

The best way to debug Kanban worker failure modes is to use actionable diagnostics and retry diagnostics tailored to the Hermes lifecycle. Analyzing the orient, work, heartbeat, block, and complete stages with structured guardrails improves debuggability and prevents misbehavior in multi-agent environments.
