All three members concern a stale-stream watchdog that repeatedly kills a wedged streaming attempt, with one bug report describing a Windows worker stuck for about 3.5 days. Two fix-oriented titles propose bounding the re-kills or abandoning the worker, but nothing here confirms whether these changes work or have been merged.
