- Persistent memory cron jobs carry output between runs.
- Live subagent steering with `delegate_task` and JSON-schema validation.
- MCP command center with drag-in import and fleet cost overlay.
- Bot-to-bot DMs enabled via `hermes peer` command.
Improvements
- Cron jobs now support memory and continuity for scheduled agents.
- Subagents can be steered live mid-flight during orchestration.
