# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Stable install channel handling and rollback detection in updates

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The members appear to concern keeping stable installs on the stable channel across installer reruns, and how older releases are treated as rollbacks rather than available updates in the installer, source check, and Desktop UI. One title references related issue/PR numbers (#137714, #137728), but the titles alone do not establish status.

## TL;DR
