# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Dashboard auth provider discovery and registration fixes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a bug where the dashboard auth gate fails to trigger plugin discovery before listing providers, causing plugin-registered auth providers (such as basic_auth) to be missing or unregistered. Related fixes also cover sign-in stability during plugin re-discovery and respecting configured auth providers on public binds.
