# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Codex SSE relay discarding billed responses after completion

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and PRs address a bug where a relay holding an SSE connection open past the terminal event causes billed responses to be silently discarded. The work involves bounding the post-terminal drain and ensuring completed responses are returned rather than lost.

## TL;DR

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-115817`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.50`: 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

- #103864: codex: post-terminal drain is unbounded — a relay that never closes the SSE connection still discards billed responses (follow-up to #74348)
