hermes-update-doctor

Overview

A diagnosis-first update investigator that separates remote drift, repository divergence, process locks, stale caches, partial installs, and runtime-version mismatches.

The skill is evidence-first. It identifies unavailable evidence, separates facts from interpretations, and does not claim a repair or successful outcome merely because a command returned without an obvious error.

When to Use

• Hermes says it is behind but will not update.
• Update says already current but the version is stale.
• Another Hermes process is blocking the update.
• Diagnose a failed Hermes update.
