# NousResearch/hermes-agent · TUI lacks visible live activity indicator while agent works

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

All three members concern the TUI not showing clear, live feedback (such as a spinner or progress bar) while the agent is working, making it hard to tell whether it is running or frozen. One title notes the CLI already has a braille spinner that the TUI status bar lacks.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 3 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 0 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix found: no merged or attempted fix PR is on record for this cluster.
- **Recommended:** if this matches your symptom, consider adding to the existing issue(s) below rather than opening a new one.

## 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 (`LLM_ONLY`): no structural link between members; the grouping rests entirely on an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Read the members yourself before treating them as one problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.24`: 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.
