Members relate to issue #40178, where the desktop installer reportedly ignores an existing CLI ~/.hermes directory with sessions and creates a new database in LOCALAPPDATA. Two pull requests propose changes to how existing CLI data is detected, using state.db and handling a pre-created LOCALAPPDATA.
