# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix hermes PATH visibility in cron/no-agent scripts

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a class of environment-leak bugs where cron or no-agent child processes cannot locate the hermes console script by bare name due to PATH not including the expected entry. The work involves ensuring hermes remains on the child process PATH in those contexts.
