# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Cron repeat defaults bug fix when schedule kind changes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members primarily address a bug where changing a cron job's schedule from one-shot to recurring (or vice versa) fails to re-derive the appropriate repeat defaults, causing incorrect firing behavior. One unrelated member about compaction batch summarization is also present.

## TL;DR

- 6 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 2 merged PR(s), 3 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #106532. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #106532 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-106532`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.33`: 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.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #106096: cron: update_job keeps repeat.times=1 when a one-shot schedule is changed to a recurring one, so the "recurring" job fires once and completes
