# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Duplicate stored replies in session ledger/transcript results

## Open now

The members appear to concern a live session's ledger or result transcript retaining duplicate copies of replies. One issue reports the duplication persisting, and two pull requests propose changes in gateway and state handling to trim or avoid the extra copies. Details of the mechanism are limited to the titles.

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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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