# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Persistent Docker containers incorrectly split per session

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a bug where Docker containers marked as persistent were being created or scoped per session rather than shared across sessions as intended. The work involves identifying the root cause and correcting the behavior so persistent containers remain shared per profile.

## TL;DR

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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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