The members concern the TUI starting duplicate 'hermes mcp serve' child processes, with one bug report naming tui_gateway.entry and slash_worker as sources. The other items appear to be proposed fixes: suppressing MCP discovery in slash_worker, preventing duplicate spawns, and deferring server spawning until first tool use.
