#Is TUI automatically clearing the screen?

Running hermes agent on Mac Mini. Started a session in TUI with couple of prompts, left it opened in terminal. several hours came back to this screen. Only the first three lines from the first response visible, the rest is repeating status bars only. not sure how to see the rest of the session (probably could kill the TUI and restart with the same session, I guess).

Small correction: this looks like the regular interactive CLI, not the new TUI.

It still should not be automatically clearing the session. The screenshot looks like the prompt/status bar renderer got out of sync after the terminal sat idle for a while, so the status bar kept repainting into the scrollback area. The session itself should still be recoverable.

First run:

hermes update

There have been recent fixes around duplicated status bars, terminal redraw drift, and status-bar leaks.

If it happens again while you are still in the CLI, try:

Ctrl+L

or:

/redraw

That forces a full repaint without starting a new session. Avoid /clear for this case, since /clear starts a fresh session.

To get back to the old conversation after restarting, quit normally and use:

hermes sessions list

then resume the session you want.

If it still happens after updating, please run:

hermes debug share

and also include your macOS terminal app, whether you are using tmux/screen/SSH, and whether the Mac went to sleep while Hermes was open.
