# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Gateway session key isolation across profiles and AI peers

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and PRs address a problem where session keys are hardcoded or insufficiently scoped, causing multiple profiles or AI peers sharing a workspace to collide on the same session. Work spans key derivation, profile-based routing, and related UX for peer configuration.

## TL;DR

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `partially_resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-109328`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.17`: 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.
