# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop handling of messaging-channel (WeChat) sessions: unread and controls

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members center on the desktop app treating messaging-channel sessions, such as WeChat, as local ones, with reported unread counts and a "stale_generation" controls error. One bug report and two fix-oriented PRs appear to address this, with one PR also covering session list and resume behavior across gateway, TUI, and desktop.

## TL;DR
