# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix launchers baking in scratch Python paths

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A bug caused published launchers to bind against temporary scratch fixture interpreter paths rather than the installation's own store, leading to exit-127 crashes after reboot. These members address detection, prevention, and correction of that path-binding mistake.
