# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Session salvage preserving delivery data during recovery

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address gaps in session salvage logic where delivery-related records (gateway delivery ledger and delivery obligations) were being dropped. A related report documents state.db corruption under concurrent write conditions, with auto-salvage successfully recovering messages.

## 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.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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

- #100313: state.db corruption at the instant a cron run (cronjob action=run) was dispatched from a live write-heavy CLI session — concurrent writer paths, NOTADB on an already-open connection vs CORRUPT on a fresh one; auto-salvage recovered all 15,325 messages
