      +Discord's WebSocket resume window can expire during a restart or network outage. Messages sent during that gap are not delivered as live gateway events. When this option is enabled, Hermes scans a bounded set of configured channel and thread histories after Discord reconnects, then sends still-unhandled messages through the same authorization, mention, channel, deduplication, and dispatch path as live events.

      +If `channels` is empty, Hermes uses `discord.free_response_channels`. Set it to `"*"` only when the bot should inspect every reachable server text channel. The recovery ledger is stored per profile under `gateway/discord_message_recovery.db`, preventing a successfully answered message from being replayed again after a later restart.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.17: the share of item 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.
