# NousResearch/hermes-agent · ReadError stream errors and session lock handling

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address how \`ReadError\` errors in provider streams are handled, including retry logic and a related issue where a \`failed\` stream with \`stream_opened=false\` causes a lease to be held indefinitely, locking out subsequent turns. A watchdog fallback for missing agent snapshots is also included.
