# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix streaming delays with separate-field reasoning models

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and fixes address a bug where enabling show_reasoning caused answers from separate-field reasoning models to be buffered and dumped all at once rather than streamed in real-time. The fixes involve closing the reasoning display at the right moment and resolving an associated streaming deadlock in the CLI.

## TL;DR

- 5 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 3 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #121601. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #121601 (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: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-121601`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.40`: 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

- #47116: \[Bug\]: With \`show_reasoning: true\`, the answer from separate-field reasoning models is deferred and dumped all at once instead of streaming
