The members appear to center on the gateway's launch-route/session-route behavior, including a bug report about a custom endpoint named like a built-in provider (deepseek) having its bare name stored as the route. Two related pull requests concern keeping a shadowed custom pick on the profile entry's route and keeping stored routes canonical while restoring older local receipts.
