Configure / Fire Employee

Deprecated — naive employees and /v1/employees. It drives the legacy orchestration runtime, which is FROZEN — it accepts no new capabilities. The durable runtime enforces policy at the tool boundary, not only at the gateway, and it is the only runtime new work is built on.Use instead: naive teams rosterThese routes keep answering. Nothing is removed and no response shape changes: the deprecation is announced in headers only, which are purely additive. Every response from this router carries Deprecation (RFC 9745 — the value is a Structured Field Date, @ plus epoch seconds, not the boolean true some pre-RFC clients look for), Link rel="deprecation", Warning: 299 and X-Naive-Deprecation-Id: dep.primitive.employees. There is no Sunset header, because this is frozen with no sunset date — a Sunset on a frozen row would be a date the platform has not promised.Announced 2026-07-29. Level frozen. The freeze ends when company_containers with provider='hermes' and status='running' reaches zero — not on a date.Replacement surface: the durable runtime API.

  "success": true,

}

Behavior

Firing archives the employee (soft delete), returns active tasks to ready status, and deprovisions the Hermes profile. Historical task completions are preserved.
