# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Gateway relaunch failures during update handled explicitly

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a scenario where the updater cannot relaunch a gateway after an update, ensuring such gateways are stopped and reported rather than silently left running on stale code. A specific failure mode involving PID-to-profile mapping is also identified.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #92890. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #92890 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #88654: Updater's gateway auto-restart can silently fail (PID→profile mapping), leaving a mixed-version gateway
