# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop renderer crashes, diagnostics, and reload recovery handling

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members all concern the desktop app's renderer process: one issue reports crashes with exitCode=15 leading to a boot loop, and two pull requests propose renderer-lifecycle diagnostics, crash recovery for windows, and reload attempts when the renderer is killed. The titles alone do not show whether the changes address the reported issue.

## 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 #83567. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #83567 (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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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.
