# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix credential lookup order for Hermes pool priority

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a bug where the Claude Code login was being borrowed before the Hermes credential pool during token resolution, causing unintended logouts on refresh. The fixes adjust credential precedence so owned grants and the Hermes pool are consulted first, keeping auxiliary refresh source-bound.
