# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Windows abandoned pm-runtime lease file cleanup

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members center on abandoned pm-runtime lease files on Windows, which the bug report says accumulate and are not pruned, alongside a Python delete hook associated with \`hermes cron\`/\`gateway\` exiting 1. The two fix-titled pull requests appear to address reclaiming or removing such leases, one noting it should be done without dropping the lock.
