# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Discord docs corrections and voice slash UI fixes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A cluster of issues and pull requests addressing multiple documentation inaccuracies in Discord integration, including Echo Prevention mechanics, Server Members Intent behavior, SSRC mapping, and a missing \`/voice join\` option in the slash command UI.

## TL;DR

- 5 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 3 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #20411. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #20411 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.40`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.

Voice-channel SSRC → user_id mapping comes from Discord's SPEAKING opcode on the voice websocket and does **not** require the Server Members Intent.
