# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix interrupt issuer attribution in agent

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a bug where all agent interrupts are incorrectly attributed to the user, regardless of the actual source (inactivity watchdog, turn-liveness watchdog, stale-stream kill, or fence loss). The work involves correctly recording and reporting the true issuer of each interrupt.

## TL;DR

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-113204`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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

- #112647: Every interrupt is reported as "interrupted_by_user": the actual issuer (inactivity watchdog, turn-liveness watchdog, stale-stream kill, fence loss) is never recorded
