# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Gateway Bots roster Bot Chat session resolution and discovery fixes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The three members appear related: one reports that canonical-session discovery omits Bot Chats created by session_bot.py (status dot stuck on 'draft', last_session null), and two are gateway fixes concerning how Bots roster rows resolve their Bot Chat on a multiplexed gateway and how local bots are shared between groups and the roster. The exact relationship between the issue and the PRs is not stated in the titles.
