# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Cron scheduling during gateway shutdown and interpreter finalization

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items all concern the cron scheduler attempting to schedule work (futures, asyncio.run, pool.submit) while the gateway is shutting down or the interpreter is finalizing. One is a bug report of a "cannot schedule new futures" error during SIGTERM teardown, and two are fix proposals; the titles alone don't establish their outcome.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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.
