The rendered Hermes status/system-prompt banner visually duplicates a memory line many times, even though the canonical memory data on disk contains a single line.

Evidence

During the recent PR cycle, the duplication recurred in two separate Hermes status reports with the same shape:

  • Single canonical line in MEMORY.md on disk.
  • Approximately 15 to 17 visual copies in the rendered banner/status report.

The duplication also recurred in the most recent status report during the same PR cycle.

Expected behavior

The status/system-prompt banner should render each memory line once.

Actual behavior

A single memory line is repeated visually many times in the rendered banner.

Hypothesis

The data layer appears clean; this is likely a render-layer duplication bug, not memory corruption.

Suggested investigation

Trace the banner/status rendering pipeline and verify whether memory lines are being appended repeatedly during display formatting, streaming refresh, or context/status recomposition.
