# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix circular module cycle breaking desktop runtime plugins

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Multiple fixes addressing a circular dependency involving sdk/index.ts that caused runtime (disk) desktop plugins to fail with a null/undefined object error. Approaches include lazy-loading, lazy namespace resolution, and restructuring imports to break the cycle.

## TL;DR

- 6 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 4 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #107303. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #107303 (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: `unresolved`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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

- #107288: \[Bug\]: #107212 puts sdk/index.ts in a module cycle — every runtime (disk) desktop plugin fails with "Cannot convert undefined or null to object"
