These items concern how a cached gateway agent's extra_body is handled when it is on a fallback provider versus the primary route, including a report of the primary route's extra_body being re-applied during turn merge. Two members appear to be fix proposals touching gateway and agent code, one mentioning ownership tracking across routes and restore; their outcomes are not stated in the titles.
