Two of the three members concern /bg and related side agents in the gateway: one reports that a running /bg task is lost on gateway restart or hermes update, and another proposes counting side agents (/bg, /btw, preview-restart) as owner work. The third is a broad gateway fix bundle covering several other areas (ingress, relaunch, idle exit, Kanban ACK, log locking) that only partly overlaps with side-agent drain.
