PRD: Parallel Subagent Delegation in Hermes Agent

Problem

Currently, delegating multiple tasks via delegate_task requires separate calls, limiting throughput for independent workstreams.

Proposed Solution

Extend delegate_task to accept up to 10 tasks in a single call, running them in parallel and returning an array of summaries. Each subagent receives isolated context and terminal session; parent orchestrates results.

Success Criteria

Single delegate_task call with 10 tasks returns 10 summaries within 60s.
Failure of one subagent does not block others; partial results are returned.
No change to existing single-task behavior.

Scope

In scope: parallel dispatch, result aggregation, error isolation. Out of scope: persistent subagent pools, inter-subagent messaging.

Open Questions

Should max concurrency be configurable beyond 10?
Should subagents inherit the parent's model or allow per-task model pinning?
