# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Delegate task batch limit and max_concurrent_children handling

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members center on the delegate feature's concurrency limit: one issue reports that batch tasks beyond MAX_CONCURRENT_CHILDREN are silently truncated, and a pull request proposes making max_concurrent_children configurable with an error on excess. A third member references salvaging earlier delegate PRs (#6933, #6881), and its exact relation to the others is not clear from the title alone.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #7360. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #7360 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #6880: delegate_task silently truncates batch tasks beyond MAX_CONCURRENT_CHILDREN
