tell me what i see that when you get stuck you go into long loop - can you change that loop settings to lower like 90 secs

ASSISTANT (hermes, deepseek-v4-pro)
Let me check your current Hermes Agent configuration to see exactly what loop-related settings you have.
2026-05-08T17:32:29
ASSISTANT (hermes, deepseek-v4-pro)
I can see your current config. Here are the two settings that control "looping" behavior:
**1. `agent.max_turns: 60`** — This is the main one. When Hermes gets stuck in a tool-calling loop, it can go **up to 60 turns** before stopping. Each turn takes a few seconds, so 60 turns can feel like a very long loop.
**2. `terminal.timeout: 180`** — If a single shell command hangs, it waits **180 seconds (3 min)** before timing out.
Which one do you want to change to 90?
- **`max_turns`** → reduce from 60 to a lower number (like 15-20)
- **`terminal.timeout`** → reduce from 180 to 90 seconds
- **Both**
Or were you thinking of something else?

USER (hermes, deepseek-v4-pro)
reduce from 60to 30 amd timeout to 90 secs
2026-05-08T17:32:29
ASSISTANT (hermes, deepseek-v4-pro)
Done. Two changes applied:
| Setting | Before | After |
|---------|--------|-------|
| `agent.max_turns` | 60 | **30** |
| `terminal.timeout` | 180s | **90s** |
**Heads up:** These take effect after a restart — `/reset` in CLI, or if you're using the gateway: `hermes gateway restart`.
