# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Named-profile session key parsing in gateway

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and pull requests concern how the gateway parses and handles session keys for named (non-default) profiles, including namespace recognition and state isolation per profile. A recurring problem is that hardcoded or profile-unaware logic causes secondary profiles to share or mishandle session keys and state.

## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #108294. Verify it addresses your case.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.50`: 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.
