# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Git explicit-target resolution and mutation classification corrections

## Open now

- 1 issue, 2 PRs open on GitHub.
- #82569: fix(tools): resolve explicit Git targets without ambient-cwd false negatives
- PR #81702: fix(tools): classify git apply/am as self-repo worktree mutations
- PR #82560: fix(tools): recognize \`gh repo sync\` as a self-repo mutation

These items address how explicit Git targets (such as \`-C\` flags and specific subcommands) are looked up and classified, covering false negatives in ambient-cwd detection, correct identification of self-repo mutations, and closing gaps in the explicit-target guard logic.

## TL;DR

- 6 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 2 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 3 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.40`: 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.
