 ### Fixed
 
+- **A failed chat launch no longer leaves the session stuck "running".** If the worker thread
+  couldn't start, its stream ownership and the session's pending-stream fields were never cleared,
+  so the session could look permanently active and the registries grew. Launch failure now clears
+  exactly that stream's records, after releasing the chat-start lock, and never evicts a successor
+  stream. (#6869, #6937 by @jbdrak)
+- **A compressed conversation no longer shows up twice in the sidebar.** When context
+  compression started the continuation a few milliseconds before the parent was marked ended, the
+  continuation wasn't recognised. The sidebar then showed a duplicate same-title row plus a
+  spurious child-session entry, and opening the conversation didn't stitch the transcript. Both the
+  sidebar and the transcript stitcher now accept a bounded (2 s) early start when every other
+  lineage signal agrees: same source, direct parent link, a compression (or `cli_close`) end reason and not a fork.
+  (#6931, #7021 by @webtecnica)
+- **The profile switcher no longer 500s in a two-container Docker setup.** With the agent
+  source not mounted (`HERMES_WEBUI_CHAT_BACKEND=gateway`), `GET /api/profiles` fell through to
+  a skills-stats fallback that imported `agent.skill_utils` unguarded, so the missing module
+  surfaced as an error on every profile-list load. The import is now guarded and the skill
+  stats report as unknown in that case, so the picker stays usable (the skills line is simply
+  omitted). Thanks @webtecnica. (#7305, #7312)
+
+- **A title that mixes Chinese, Japanese or Korean with English terms is no longer rejected.**
+  The cross-script guard that stops a generated title from drifting into the wrong language
+  treated the borrowed Latin words in a CJK title as drift, so a valid title like
+  `WeChat Pay 回调失败排查` or `Python 代码修复` was thrown away and the session kept its
+  fallback title. Latin terms are now accepted when the title also contains CJK text, while
+  an all-Latin title for a CJK conversation is still rejected. Thanks @MuhammadUsamaMX.
+  (#7693, #7727)

 - **A late-arriving prompt no longer renders below the reply it asked for.** When a message
   reached the transcript from `state.db` after the sidecar had already been merged⟪HERMES-CONTEXT-COMPRESSION: 809 of 1,009 chars omitted here by Hermes's context compressor. This is NOT part of the original tool call and must never be reproduced in new output — always write full, untruncated content.⟫- **A rejected request no longer poisons the next one on the same connection.** `server.py`
   is a raw HTTP/1.1 handler where `rfile` is the socket itself, so answering a request
