# NousResearch/hermes-agent · CI fork PR token handling and comment posting fixes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and pull requests address failures in CI workflows when running on fork PRs, where missing or inaccessible AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT tokens cause comment posting, label fetching, and supply chain audit steps to fail. The work involves adding fallback logic to use github.token when the bot PAT is unavailable.

## TL;DR

- 6 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 2 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 2 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #6681. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #6681 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `partially_resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-6681`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.29`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #6679: \[CI\] Supply chain audit workflow fails on all fork PRs — GITHUB_TOKEN can't post comments
- #66559: CI-sensitive file review fails on every fork PR: label fetch cannot read AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT
