## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Two pull requests concern entry-point and project-directory discovery parity for out-of-tree memory providers (salvaging earlier work), and one issue reports the mnemosyne-hermes plugin not being detected as installed despite correct entry point registration. The members appear related by plugin/provider discovery, though the issue's root cause is not established by the titles alone.
