The locale switcher appeared broken because hardcoded markdown links
(`](/docs/X)`) got double-prefixed by Docusaurus to `/docs/<locale>/docs/X`
(404) in non-English locales, and the MDX hero `<a href>` on the index
page escaped locale routing entirely.
Changes:
- Rewrite 922 `](/docs/X)` -> `](/X)` across 166 docs files (strip trailing
.md too). Docusaurus prepends locale + baseUrl itself.
- docs/index.md -> index.mdx; hero "Get Started" anchor -> Docusaurus
<Link> so it stays inside the active locale.
- Drop `ko` locale entirely from docusaurus.config.ts + delete i18n/ko/
(4 stale auto-translated kanban pages, <2% coverage, misleading).
Verified `npm run build` succeeds for both en and zh-Hans; `build/zh-Hans/
index.html` has no /docs/zh-Hans/docs/... double-prefixed paths.
PR2 will translate the 335 English docs into i18n/zh-Hans/.
delegate_task runs inside the parent turn and is cancelled when the parent is interrupted (new user message, /stop, /new). The child status payload (status=interrupted, exit_reason=interrupted) is already honest, but the tool schema and user-facing docs did not set the expectation, so users reasonably assumed delegated subagents would keep running in the background after interrupting the parent.
Updates:
- tools/delegate_tool.py DELEGATE_TASK_SCHEMA description adds a WHEN NOT TO USE bullet pointing at cronjob / terminal(background=True, notify_on_complete=True) for durable long-running work.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/delegation.md gains a Lifetime and Durability callout above Key Properties.
- website/docs/guides/delegation-patterns.md expands the Use something else list and the Constraints section with the same guidance.

The 'subagents know nothing' warning and the 'no conversation history'
constraint both said the user provides the goal/context fields. In
practice the LLM parent agent calls delegate_task; the user configures
the feature but doesn't write delegation calls. Rewording to point at
the parent agent matches how the tool actually works.
Adds role='leaf'|'orchestrator' to delegate_task. With max_spawn_depth>=2,
an orchestrator child retains the 'delegation' toolset and can spawn its
own workers; leaf children cannot delegate further (identical to today).
Default posture is flat — max_spawn_depth=1 means a depth-0 parent's
children land at the depth-1 floor and orchestrator role silently
degrades to leaf. Users opt into nested delegation by raising
max_spawn_depth to 2 or 3 in config.yaml.
Also threads acp_command/acp_args through the main agent loop's delegate
dispatch (previously silently dropped in the schema) via a new
_dispatch_delegate_task helper, and adds a DelegateEvent enum with
legacy-string back-compat for gateway/ACP/CLI progress consumers.
Config (hermes_cli/config.py defaults):
delegation.max_concurrent_children: 3 # floor-only, no upper cap
delegation.max_spawn_depth: 1 # 1=flat (default), 2-3 unlock nested
delegation.orchestrator_enabled: true # global kill switch
Salvaged from @pefontana's PR #11215. Overrides vs. the original PR:
concurrency stays at 3 (PR bumped to 5 + cap 8 — we keep the floor only,
no hard ceiling); max_spawn_depth defaults to 1 (PR defaulted to 2 which
silently enabled one level of orchestration for every user).
