Hello

[split vault]

[wicked stump]

ok

@fleet edge is the hindsight dev thats here

Most Common Cause (and Fix)
This is a known bug reported in April 2026. The embedded daemon (launched automatically via uv cache) is flaky/buggy, especially with retain operations.
Best and easiest fix (what solved it for most people):

Create the config file to bypass the embedded daemon and force it to use the standalone Hermes service instead (which runs on port 8888):

mkdir -p ~/.hindsight

cat > ~/.hindsight/hermes.json << EOF
{
"hindsightApiUrl": "http://localhost:8888",
"bankId": "hermes",
"recallBudget": "high"
}
EOF

Then restarte gateway

So just changing the port in the config file ig? It's essentially the same as mine already but without the model I selected

Wait, I see another log file I did not know about in that directory. Will take a look

Looks like it hit a timeout and just, shutdown?

2026-04-21 22:03:23,907 - INFO - hindsight_api.daemon - Idle timeout reached (300s), shutting down daemon
INFO: Shutting down
INFO: Waiting for application shutdown.

Gonna see what hermes thinks

[split vault]

sometimes hermes dies and you gotta reach out and call a friend (grok 😉 )

heading to bed, gl with this - if you get it fixed let me know!

[wicked stump]

Haha yeah, thanks for the help!

[fleet edge]

Hey the daemon has a shutdown timeout if you don't use it but on the next usage it should restart - anyway today we are releasing 0.5.4 and we changed the default value to no timeout so I'd suggest to upgrade once it's out, I'll ping you here

[wicked stump]

Ok, yeah thats what I had come up with. Was it an issue with it just not auto starting on the next tool call like it should have?

[fleet edge]

@wicked stump can you upgrade to 0.5.4 ? there are 2 fixes related to this specific issue

[wicked stump]

Gonna try and update in a bit here after work

[wicked stump]

Ok, bumped to the most recent version and have it running. Will wait a few hours and hopefully it doesn't shut down again, thank you!!

[split vault]

Awesome to hear you got it workign!

[wicked stump]

Yeah, up and running right now!
