## Open now

- 2 issues, 2 PRs open on GitHub.
- #57474: \[Bug\]: Weixin gateway death loop after upgrade — open policy without ALLOW_ALL_USERS opt-in
- #62553: \`gateway\`: v0.18 open-policy startup gate false-positives on weixin/iLink — the bot is protocol-level 1:1, \`open\` has no external surface
- PR #57487: fix(gateway): set fatal exit code on open-policy violation to prevent death loop
- PR #62641: fix(gateway): exempt Weixin from open-policy startup gate (transport-bound adapter)

These items address fail-open authorization vulnerabilities in gateway adapters, including missing allowlist enforcement, a cross-guild Discord role bypass, and a Weixin/iLink false-positive in the open-policy startup gate. Multiple fixes aim to make policy defaults fail-closed and prevent misconfiguration-driven access loops.

## TL;DR

- 12 member(s): 2 open issue(s), 3 closed issue(s), 2 open PR(s), 2 merged PR(s), 3 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #21241. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #21241 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `partially_resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-21241`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.13`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
