# NousResearch/hermes-agent · WebSocket read timeout and reconnect reliability fixes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a flaw in the Buzz adapter where a 300-second read bound on WebSocket connections does not reliably fire, leaving a parked receive loop undetected. The fixes aim to ensure a stalled or dead WebSocket can be interrupted and that reconnection occurs within the expected idle window while health reporting reflects the retrying state.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-112315`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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.
