# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fast failure for unhosted pane-bridge requests

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a bug where pane-bridge requests stall silently when no window hosts the session, and introduce fixes to fail fast and return clear errors immediately in that scenario.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #127039. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #127039 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.67`: 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

- #119334: \[Bug\] Pane-bridge requests are silently dropped when no window hosts the asking session — 45s stall + one ambiguous error (residual after #114981)
