The members concern a leftover gateway.pid file from a crashed or killed gateway instance, which is reported to interfere with startup, restarts, or use of --replace. Some items are bug reports (one about a PID file race condition) and others are fix proposals that clean up or clear the stale PID file before writing a new one.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.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 0.31: the share of item 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.
