# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Slack thread-context refresh on explicit @mention

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The members concern Slack thread-context handling, centered on refreshing context when someone explicitly @mentions the bot in an active thread. One broader pull request also mentions related lifecycle topics (cold-start, restart rehydration, reply-wake). The titles do not indicate the status of any of this work.

## 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 #69320. Verify it addresses your case.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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.
