Members mostly concern gateway handling of background-process watch and heartbeat notifications, including one report of a "permission_denied" admission failure in desktop (GUI) sessions and several pull requests touching admission from restored routes and heartbeat delivery. One PR also bundles loosely related items (Telegram reply_to wake anchors, /retry ordering), so the overlap is partial.
