- #136585: \[Bug\]: hermes insights counts every transcript generation — message stats and tool usage read archived/rewound copies
- PR #136588: fix(agent): count insights messages once across transcript generations
- PR #136860: fix(agent): count only the visible transcript in insights

One bug report describes the hermes insights command counting message stats and tool usage from archived or rewound transcript copies, and two fix-oriented pull requests address counting messages once or only from the visible transcript. The members appear to share a single theme, though the titles alone do not show whether any change has been merged or verified.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 2 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 0 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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