Add Roundtable Discussion feature for structured multi-agent debates: - hermes_cli/roundtable_db.py: SQLite data layer (5 tables: discussions, participants, speeches, findings, convergence_history) with WAL mode, auto-init, and full CRUD operations - tools/roundtable_tools.py: 7 tools registered via tools/registry.py (init, speak, read, status, summarize, end, list) - toolsets.py: Add 'roundtable' toolset with check_fn gating - skills/software-development/roundtable/SKILL.md: Usage guide, coordinator flow, participant prompt templates, convergence docs - tests/hermes_cli/test_roundtable_db.py: 28 unit tests for DB layer - tests/tools/test_roundtable_tools.py: 16 unit tests for tool handlers Architecture: Independent SQLite DB (~/.hermes/roundtable.db), coordinator- driven communication via delegate_task, LLM-based convergence detection. Zero invasive changes to existing kanban or agent code.

Hi team! Just updated the PR description with a clearer summary. This PR adds a complete roundtable discussion feature (7 tools + SQLite storage + 44 tests). Would love to get some eyes on it when you have a chance. Happy to address any feedback! 🙏 |
- Add task_checkpoints table to kanban DB schema - Add Checkpoint dataclass and save/get_latest/get_by_step/clear functions - Add kanban_checkpoint tool (save progress after each step) - Add kanban_get_checkpoint tool (retrieve checkpoints on retry) - Inject checkpoints into build_worker_context (retrying workers see prior progress) - Auto-clear checkpoints on successful task completion - 82/82 existing kanban_db tests pass Part of OPC Phase 1 stability fixes (Worker fault tolerance)
Root cause: roundtable tools were not properly available to delegate_task subagents. Refactored roundtable_tools.py (+249/-622) to fix tool registration and calling behavior in subagent context. Task: t_46ec11f8 Verified: Boss confirmed fix works end-to-end

Summary
Adds a complete roundtable discussion feature to Hermes Agent — enabling multiple AI agents to engage in structured, multi-round debates on any topic with automatic consensus tracking.
Why this matters
Hermes already supports task delegation and kanban-based workflows, but there's no way for multiple agents to discuss and debate a topic together. This fills that gap — agents can now have back-and-forth conversations, challenge each other's ideas, and converge on a shared conclusion.
