# NousResearch/hermes-agent · macOS process timing and fingerprint stability fixes

## Open now

- 1 issue, 2 PRs open on GitHub.
- #128471: Kanban crash sweep marks live workers "crashed" on macOS after a clock correction (psutil create_time adjustment)
- PR #128482: fix(kanban): use monotonic worker start times
- PR #128483: fix(gateway): stabilize macOS process fingerprints

These items address issues where monotonic or adjusted clock times on macOS cause live workers to be incorrectly identified as crashed or mismatched. Fixes target worker start-time comparisons and process fingerprinting in the kanban and gateway components.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 2 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 0 PR(s) closed without merging.
