# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop transcript loading and stale-guard edge cases

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address bugs where the desktop client requests or re-prepends transcript data before a session is fully persisted, and where the stale-transcript guard is incorrectly triggered on views that were never hydrated.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.

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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #123622: \[Bug\]: Desktop requests transcript for a session before it is persisted -> all 404, leaving the window with a partial history that later trips the stale-transcript guard
