[Feature]: hermes agent support #1090

Description

@lee-b

Problem

hermes agent can be more robust than the likes of opencode. Whilst a "claw" in one mode, hermes agent is also capable of being used as a regular TUI agentic dev agent. Using it this way, it can keep going, recovering from errors like tool call syntax failures, which would stop opencode, resulting in no progress until attended to by a human. So, especially for automated agents chomping through kanban tasks, this hermes agent support would be nice to have.

NOTE: hermes does have it's own kanban dashboard, but kandev is much nicer to use, and potentially more reliable for the kanban part.

Proposed solution

Add a new agent definition for hermes agent.
