Hermes agent timeouts during long-running delegated tasks usually occur because terminal time limits are too short or new Slack messages interrupt execution. Diagnosing the interruption requires validating terminal timeout settings and busy input mode to prevent silent failures.

To diagnose a Slack-connected Mac agent that stops responding mid-build, validate the agent process health, check launchctl-managed profiles for active status, and review delegation iteration limits to identify whether the stall is a silent failure or a process disconnection.

Yes, you can configure busy-input handling to prevent Hermes agents from being interrupted by new Slack messages during execution. Setting safer defaults for busy-input mode hardens agent configuration and improves reliability for complex multi-agent tasks.

The best way to recover a Hermes agent that appears alive but no longer processes inbound messages is to restart the agent process and verify its health, followed by checking launchctl profiles and applying configuration hardening to prevent recurrence.

Yes, launchctl is used to manage profiles for Hermes agents on macOS. Validating launchctl-managed profiles is a required step to verify agent process health and ensure Slack-connected Mac agents remain responsive during complex debugging tasks.
