# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop composer queue and message duplication across windows

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Members concern desktop app behavior where unsent or error-state messages appear across multiple windows, including after starting a new session, and proposed changes to sync the composer queue across windows. One title also mentions preventing duplicate messages involving a guardrail, which may be related but is less clearly tied to the same issue.
