# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Claw cleanup OpenClaw detection false positives and archive prompt default

## Open now

Most members concern the claw cleanup command wrongly detecting OpenClaw as running, apparently because a broad process match (pgrep -f openclaw) can hit unrelated argv text. One member differs by covering the archive cleanup prompt defaulting to No with an unbootable warning, so the group is mostly one theme with one adjacent change.
