The members concern the desktop app's backend connection: one bug report describes a race during context compaction with duplicated message rendering and repeated backend restarts, and two fix-titled items address single-flighting the primary backend start and querying the backend about a silent live turn. The titles suggest a related theme, but they do not show whether the fixes address the reported bug or their status.
