shared home/limit swiches

i have a RPI-4 running linuxcnc 2.9.10. using  a 7i96s, the qtdragon GUI, and inductive proximity switches. i have one switch acting as both home and limit.
everything is working perfectly except for a minor annoyance on the status bar. when i home, and the axis move toward the home switch, initially trips the switch, it properly reverses off the switch (search velocity is positive, and latch velocity is negative so the axis is of the switch), then continues on to the final home position. but when it initially hits the switch, the status bar shows "hard limit tripped". the machine doesn't stop, so it is properly ignoring limits while homing. the fault clears itself after several seconds. just curious why this is happening. i thought i read somewhere that it re-enabled limits after the cycle was done, apparently not the case? I assume if it bothers me enough i could learn/write some HAL code to block it in the GUI?? or better yet just use the switch as home, and just rely on the soft limits
