# NousResearch/hermes-agent · s6 boot reconciler ignores config.yaml multiplex setting

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A bug causes the s6 boot reconciler to incorrectly auto-start per-profile gateways when multiplex_profiles is enabled via config.yaml, leading to crash-loops and high CPU usage. The associated fixes make the reconciler correctly honor the multiplex_profiles setting at boot time.
