# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Test runner docs and suite failures on main

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The three members appear related around test-runner documentation and a reported full-suite breakage on main involving cascading failures and a 600s timeout. One member also mentions Windows correctness work, but the titles alone don't show how the pieces connect beyond a shared reference to the #27004 symptoms.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
