# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Gateway admission of upstream-authorized A2A native messages

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The members center on an A2A inbound issue in v0.22.x where fresh native messages are reportedly rejected by a principal allowlist even when authorization_is_upstream=True, plus two gateway fix PRs addressing admission of such inputs. One PR also bundles related Discord role re-auth, refused Bot receipts, and headless peer Bot Chat changes, which go beyond the core A2A admission theme.
