# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Gateway/WebSocket slow RPC handling and client recovery

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The members concern slow or blocked RPC handling over a shared gateway WebSocket (a slow session.context_breakdown read reportedly delaying queued calls), a TUI change to isolate such RPCs, and client recovery behavior when falling behind or reconnecting. They appear related but not identical, and the titles alone do not show how closely the first item ties 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 #140968. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #140968 (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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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

- #140667: \[Bug\]: Desktop: session.control.read times out at 30s - one slow read-only handler (session.context_breakdown) starves every queued RPC on the same WS
