Subagents and a swarm
Section titled “Subagents and a swarm”Native subagents share this EC2 host, tools and credentials. They divide work; they do not provide customer isolation. A distributed swarm needs separate workers and sandbox management.
Store reports under /srv/hermes/workspace, which is backed up. Separate messaging conversations normally have separate histories.
