# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Oneshot YOLO env var timing and ordering fixes

## Open now

- 1 issue, 1 PR open on GitHub.
- #86526: oneshot (-z): HERMES_YOLO_MODE set after plugin discovery starts — yolo freeze can latch False before the env is set
- PR #115654: fix(oneshot): set HERMES_YOLO_MODE and HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS before startup discovery

These items address a race condition where HERMES_YOLO_MODE (and related env vars) were set too late, after plugin/hook discovery had already started. Fixes enforce correct ordering so the env is established before startup routines read it.
