# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Profile scoping for desktop image paste and uploads

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Two members concern image pasting or chat image uploads in the desktop app being tied to the correct profile, including one bug report where an attachment was staged in the default profile's cache. A third member is about desktop and TUI connecting to the gateway, which appears related only loosely to the other two.

## 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 #139661. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #139661 (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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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
