# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Checkpoint git env handling and update stall; separate install loading item

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Two members relate to checkpoints: one PR changes how the git environment is computed once per status, prune and list run, and one issue reports \`hermes update\` stalling for about 11 minutes after "Update complete!" on hosts with many checkpoint projects. The third member, about Solstice loading during install via a lazy transport import, appears to be a separate topic; any link to the others is not supported by the titles.

## 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.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #134233. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #134233 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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