# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Cron retry and redelivery under multiplex/reconnect

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address how cron jobs handle retryable rejections, errors on send paths, and redelivery after reconnection in multiplexed or degraded conditions. The work spans liveness, routing, retention, and fallback behavior for cron jobs under various failure scenarios.

## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #126156. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #126156 (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-126156`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.50`: 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

- #125363: cron: a retryable send_path_degraded rejection falls through to a doomed standalone fallback and the payload is lost
