# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Micro-compaction drops summarized tool rows incorrectly

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A bug causes micro-compaction to strand or discard summarized tool rows, leading the desktop UI to show 'Result unavailable' even when results exist in state.db. Multiple fixes target preserving these rows through the compaction process.

## TL;DR

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.67`: 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.
