# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Verify launchd supervision after restart phase

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a gap where the update process could report success even when launchd encountered errors supervising or registering the gateway after a restart. The work adds verification that launchd is actively supervising the gateway post-restart, and ensures unstarted planned runtimes in that phase are treated as errors rather than silently skipped.
