# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Preserving arrival order of chat messages and media in gateway

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members center on gateway chat input ordering: two fix titles about keeping chat input, media, and quick text in arrival (FIFO) order, plus a report of text sent right after a photo or video being processed first without the media. One title also mentions Bot Chat deliveries regardless of who created the chat, which is a somewhat separate detail.

## 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 #140973. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #140973 (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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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.
