docs: align kanban readiness docs and smoke tests

Browse source 
Salvages #28199 by @bensargotest-sys. Aligns Kanban docs with current
tool registration: dispatcher-spawned task workers get task tools,
profiles that explicitly enable the kanban toolset get orchestrator
routing tools (kanban_list, kanban_unblock). Corrects failure-limit
text to current default of 2. Hardens the e2e subprocess script to
resolve repo root and use the spawnable default assignee. Updates the
diagnostics severity fixture to assert error below the critical
threshold.

## `kanban` toolset
Registered only when the agent is spawned by the kanban dispatcher (`HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` env set). Lets workers mark tasks done with structured handoffs, block for human input, heartbeat during long ops, comment on threads, and (for orchestrators) fan out into child tasks. See [Kanban Multi-Agent](/docs/user-guide/features/kanban) for the full workflow.
Registered when the agent is either (a) spawned by the kanban dispatcher (`HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` env set) or (b) running in a profile that explicitly enables the `kanban` toolset. Task-scoped workers use lifecycle tools for their assigned task; orchestrator profiles additionally get board-routing tools like `kanban_list` and `kanban_unblock`. See [Kanban Multi-Agent](/docs/user-guide/features/kanban) for the full workflow.
| Tool | Description | Requires environment |
|------|-------------|----------------------|
| `kanban_show` | Show the active kanban task assigned to this worker (title, description, comments, dependencies). | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` |
| `kanban_complete` | Mark the current task done with a structured handoff payload (results, artifacts, follow-ups). | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` |
| `kanban_block` | Block the current task on a question for the user — the dispatcher pauses, surfaces the question, and resumes once a human replies. | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` |
| `kanban_heartbeat` | Send a progress heartbeat during a long-running operation so the dispatcher knows the worker is still alive. | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` |
| `kanban_comment` | Add a comment to the task thread without changing its state — useful for surfacing intermediate findings. | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` |
| `kanban_create` | (Orchestrator only) Fan out child tasks from the current task. | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` + orchestrator role |
| `kanban_link` | (Orchestrator only) Link related tasks together (blocks/blocked-by/related). | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` + orchestrator role |
| `kanban_show` | Show the active kanban task assigned to this worker (title, description, comments, dependencies). | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` or `kanban` toolset |
| `kanban_list` | List board tasks with filters. Orchestrator-only; hidden from dispatcher-spawned task workers. | profile with `kanban` toolset |
| `kanban_complete` | Mark the current task done with a structured handoff payload (results, artifacts, follow-ups). | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` or `kanban` toolset |
| `kanban_block` | Block the current task on a question for the user — the dispatcher pauses, surfaces the question, and resumes once a human replies. | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` or `kanban` toolset |
| `kanban_heartbeat` | Send a progress heartbeat during a long-running operation so the dispatcher knows the worker is still alive. | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` or `kanban` toolset |
| `kanban_comment` | Add a comment to the task thread without changing its state — useful for surfacing intermediate findings. | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` or `kanban` toolset |
| `kanban_create` | Fan out child tasks from the current task. Used by orchestrators and follow-up-spawning workers. | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` or `kanban` toolset |
| `kanban_link` | Link tasks with a parent → child dependency edge. | `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` or `kanban` toolset |
| `kanban_unblock` | Return a blocked task to `ready`. Orchestrator-only; hidden from dispatcher-spawned task workers. | profile with `kanban` toolset |
