feat(kanban): add max_in_progress config to cap concurrent running tasks (#22981)#28420
Merged
Conversation
Salvages #22981 by @SimbaKingjoe. Adds 'kanban.max_in_progress' config that caps simultaneously running tasks. When the board already has N running, dispatcher skips spawning so slow workers (local LLMs, resource-constrained hosts) don't pile up and time out. Threads through dispatch_once(max_in_progress=) and gateway dispatcher config parsing with validation (warns on invalid/below-1 values).

Catches drift from NousResearch#28420 (feat(kanban): add max_in_progress config, merged 2026-05-19) — three dispatcher-reference surfaces describe kanban.failure_limit but not the new kanban.max_in_progress knob: - website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md (Dispatcher bullet) - AGENTS.md (Kanban one-pager) - skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md (Kanban bullet) Behavior documented per gateway/run.py:4784-4820 (validate_kanban_cfg): - unset = unlimited (default) - positive int = cap simultaneously-running tasks - non-integer or < 1 = logged invalid and ignored (so 0 does NOT pause spawning — this is an anti-footgun callout in all three places) No code change. Reference docs only.
