# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fleet restart obligation discharge and lifecycle fixes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address bugs in how fleet restart obligations are tracked and discharged, particularly when host commits diverge from expected SHAs via cherry-picks or local commits, plus fixes ensuring lifecycle commands target the correct profile.

## TL;DR

- 5 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 2 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #120143. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #120143 (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: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-120143`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.40`: 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

- #119367: fleet_restart_pending / host restart obligation is permanently undischargeable after out-of-band HEAD movement (cherry-pick / local commit), and the armed-obligation veto preempts the #117051 receipt-settle path
