# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Approval prompt deadlock on worker threads

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

All three members concern a deadlock when dangerous-command approval prompts occur on worker threads, referencing issue #15216. Two are fix proposals (one routing prompts through prompt_toolkit's run_in_terminal) and one is a report that the problem persists in v0.18.0; their status is not established here.

## 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.
