## Executive Summary
- Multi-agent Kanban system with durable task management and heartbeat monitoring
- Security wave with redaction ON by default and Discord role-allowlist fixes
- `/goal` command for persistent focus across agent turns and auto-resuming sessions
## Features New to Hermes-Agent (Load-Bearing)
- Multi-agent Kanban system with heartbeats, reclaim, zombie detection, retry budgets, and hallucination recovery
- `/goal` command locking agent on target across turns (Ralph loop)
- Security wave: 8 P0 closures including redaction ON, Discord role-allowlist guild-scoping, WhatsApp stranger rejection, TOCTOU window closures
- Session resilience: Gateway auto-resumes interrupted sessions after restart
- Generic platform-plugin hooks for messaging adapters
- Cron watchdog mode with `no_agent` option
- Checkpoints v2 with state persistence and pruning
## Worth Borrowing into MC/Luci?
- **Security improvements** (redaction, role-scoping, TOCTOU fixes) → YES, vault.db needs security hardening
- **Session resilience** (auto-resume after restarts) → YES, improve session-memory-extractor reliability
- **Cron watchdog mode** (`no_agent` option) → YES, enhance scheduler task monitoring
- **Platform-plugin hooks** → NO, ccgram handles specific gateway needs
- **Multi-agent Kanban** → NO, mc_pickup + scheduler already handle task distribution
- **`/goal` command** → NO, ticket system already provides persistent state
- **Video/voice analysis** → NO, not relevant to current systems
