# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix managed EOL and CRLF churn detection in updates

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address bugs in how end-of-line normalization and CRLF churn are detected during updates, including a failing test cluster and two fixes targeting --ignore-cr-at-eol and --numstat-based churn detection for older git versions.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.67`: 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

- #75175: \`_normalize_managed_eol\` does not clear CRLF churn — 5-test cluster fails (merged PR #74487 fails its own tests)
