# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Stale certifi CA bundle path after install-environment rotation

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The members describe one problem: after an install-environment rotation, TLS clients keep using a certifi CA bundle path that points to a deleted directory. One bug report and two pull requests with identical titles propose re-resolving the path; the members do not show whether any fix was merged or works.

## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #140376. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #140376 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.
