# NousResearch/hermes-agent · ACP session persist/restore losing custom provider namespace

- #63681: \[Bug\]: Provider namespace lost during ACP session persist → restore fails for named custom providers
- PR #70579: fix(acp): pass base_url to resolve_runtime_provider on session restore

These members appear to share one theme: in ACP session persistence and restore, a named custom provider (e.g. 'custom:xxx') may be normalized to 'custom', and several pull requests propose preserving the namespace. One title also mentions passing base_url to resolve_runtime_provider on restore, which seems closely related.
