The members concern authentication with Qwen: one bug report about Hermes appearing incompatible with modern Qwen CLI authentication, and two pull requests that propose changes (adding a User-Agent header to OAuth refresh, and supporting API-key authentication for Qwen CLI v0.18+). The titles alone do not show whether these changes address the same underlying cause or have been merged.
