The members appear related to Kanban worker dispatch: one bug report describes a running card with an unresolved owner receipt and no worker_bound event that dispatcher paths cannot reclaim, and one PR title proposes releasing a dead attempt's claim in that situation. A third item bundles several Kanban worker changes (session_search, slot freeing, explanation of missing delegate_task), which only partly overlaps the first two.
