# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix truncated cmdline breaking gateway update exemption

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a bug where command-line strings truncated at 120 characters cause the desktop update preflight to incorrectly block updates for pausable gateway processes. The fix ensures gateway exemption logic runs against the full, untruncated command line.
