# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Skip redundant source-update when already at HEAD

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a bug where a completed source update is incorrectly re-triggered on launch, particularly on Windows, when the stamp already matches HEAD. The fix treats exit 124 and same-commit states as non-actionable conditions rather than prompts to re-run.
