# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Tirith analysis_incomplete verdict handling fix

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a bug where Tirith's 'analysis_incomplete' status (e.g. from threat-intel lookup timeouts) was incorrectly blocking or warning on legitimate commands, particularly in non-interactive/cron contexts. The changes adjust the verdict severity and honour fail_open behaviour for this specific finding type.
