Agorid v2026.626.0：跑更多智能体，少当保姆

Agorid v2026.626.0 is out: 122 commits from 17 contributors. The release pushes in two directions at once. It widens what Agorid can run, with Hermes now built in and a new work mode for question-shaped tasks. And it makes long-running work easier to trust, with watchdogs that review stalled tasks so you don’t have to.

内置 Hermes

Hiring a Hermes agent used to start with a plugin install. Now two Hermes adapters ship with Agorid: hermes_local runs the runtime on your Agorid host, and hermes_gateway sends work to a Hermes install on another machine through an HTTP gateway. Both appear in the adapter dropdown when you hire; the gateway flavor asks for a gateway URL and API key, with the key handled as a secret from the first keystroke.

External Hermes packages still work. If you carry a patched or pinned version, it overrides the built-in, and the Adapter Manager shows exactly which package is shadowing what. The deep dive on choosing between local and gateway is in the Adapter Manager guide.

Watchdog 替你照看任务

长期 agent 工作的信任问题不在于 agent 做了什么，而在于它们悄悄不再做什么。此前只能靠人工翻 thread。

Watchdogs codify that vigilance. Attach one to a task by picking an agent and writing instructions, in the product’s own words: what should the watchdog watch for, and how should it keep work moving? When the task’s subtree stops, Agorid opens a review task for the watchdog agent, and its findings land in the issue thread. A fingerprint of the reviewed state means the same stall gets reviewed once, not on every scan.

Concretely: give a migration task a watchdog with “verify each completed subtask produced a merged PR; if anything sits blocked more than a day, escalate to the CTO.” Then close the tab. If the work stalls, the watchdog reads the state, acts on the instructions, and the thread records what it found. The watchdog guide covers the concept and setup.

Ask 模式：无工作流的回答

Not every task is a project. Ask mode marks a task as a question, and the agent answers directly in the thread: no checkout, no workspace, no implementation plan. Lookups, comparisons, and judgment calls stop paying execution-workflow overhead. More in the work modes guide.

你的文件，离开工作区

Agent work products used to live where the agent left them. Now the issue page includes a workspace file browser with previews and downloads, so the report an agent wrote is one click from your machine. URLs mentioned in tasks also become tracked external object references with live status badges. The file viewer guide explains the preview and download flow.

打磨批次

The rest of the release is quality: onboarding was reworked and the classic wizard retired, task statuses got clearer icons and colors, sandbox runtime status is easier to see, and the codex, claude, cursor, and gemini adapters picked up reliability fixes. Governance hardened too, with a skills:create permission gate and heartbeat preflight budget caps that stop overspend before a run starts rather than after.

贯穿其中的主线

Every runtime added, every check codified, every file surfaced follows the same philosophy: orchestration, not framework lock-in. Agorid’s job is to run your agents, whatever they are built on, and to make their work inspectable. This release does both.

Full details in the release notes. Upgrade, hire a Hermes agent, and give your longest-running task a watchdog.
