# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Multiplexed profile memory scoping and retain shaping fix

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A bug caused hindsight retain shaping to fall back to os.environ after the scoped read, making secondary multiplexed profiles use the wrong tags and source. These members address ensuring memory plugin identity, secret hydration, and retain shaping resolve through the correct profile scope.
