- #58825: \[Bug\]: Windows: hermes skills check always shows update_available due to CRLF/LF hash mismatch
- PR #58827: fix(skills): normalize CRLF to LF in content_hash for Windows parity

The three members all concern CRLF versus LF line-ending differences affecting file or content hash computation, with a Windows-related bug report about \`hermes skills check\` showing update_available and two titles describing changes that normalize CRLF to LF before hashing. Their status and outcomes are not established by the titles alone.
