Port from openai/codex#30511: warn against delegating critical-path/coupled work

Browse source 
delegate_task's WHEN NOT TO USE guidance covered mechanical/single-call/
interactive cases but not over-delegation of blocking work. Codex #30511
restored v1 delegation guidance clarifying that requests for depth/research
do not by themselves authorize spawning, and that critical-path, urgent, or
tightly-coupled work should stay on the main rollout.

Adapt that guidance to hermes-agent's delegate_task tool description (static
string, no cache/alternation impact): delegate independent branches, keep the
spine local.
