# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Reasoning effort clamping fixes across vendors

## Open now

- 1 issue, 0 PRs open on GitHub.
- #69855: did a branch, failed

These items address bugs and refactoring around reasoning effort values (e.g. 'ultra') causing errors or incorrect behavior on non-Anthropic and GLM model wires. A refactor consolidates vendor-specific effort clamping into a single canonical ladder to prevent future drift.

## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 2 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #90350. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #90350 (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: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.50`: 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.
