# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Windows update relaunch exit-code and atexit handling

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a Windows-specific bug where an 'Already up to date' update path incorrectly exits with code 1 on a gateway relaunch verification failure, and an atexit callback re-raises the error. The work involves correcting exit behavior and disarming the atexit handler symmetrically.
