# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop multi-window chat stale history and prompt submission

## Open now

These items concern opening the same chat in multiple Desktop windows, where one window may show out-of-date history and allow a prompt to be sent from a stale context. One member is a bug report, and the other two are pull requests that propose blocking stale submits and refreshing peer windows.

## TL;DR
