# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Gateway auto-compression affecting archived session transcripts

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

One issue describes it as deleting the transcript rather than soft-archiving it, and two pull requests propose changes to prevent the transcript from being wiped; the titles alone do not show whether these changes have been merged or verified.
