The three members all concern Desktop session handling: one reports that session RPCs may hide ordinary active chats from list and search, one proposes keeping ordinary Desktop chats visible, and one concerns authorizing session hides against a plumbing identity. The titles suggest a related theme, but the exact relationship between the changes is not established by the titles alone.
