# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Subagent lifecycle notification and forwarding fixes in delegate_task and API

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Members address subagent visibility: one concerns a silent timeout in delegate_task that may not notify the parent session, and two (one a salvage of #51642) concern forwarding subagent lifecycle events on the /v1/runs stream. These appear related by subagent lifecycle reporting, but only titles are available, so the details are not confirmed.

## TL;DR
