# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Telegram duplicate final messages after streamed previews

## Open now

- #53449: Telegram: non-overflow replies duplicated when stream consumer's final_* delivery flags are lost (cancel/cache-invalidation); exact visible-vs-final match too strict
- PR #53516: fix(gateway): suppress duplicate final send when streamed visible text matches answer

Members describe duplicate identical replies on Telegram, where a streamed preview and the gateway's final send can both appear. Several items discuss suppressing the extra send when streamed visible text matches the answer, when finalization fails, or when final delivery flags are lost; the exact matching criteria differ across members.

## TL;DR

- 5 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 1 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.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 `0.34`: 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.
