The members concern fallback_providers from profile config not reaching agents: one issue reports kanban worker agents not inheriting it, and two pull requests with near-identical titles propose passing it to AIAgent in oneshot. Whether the kanban and oneshot cases share a cause is not established by the titles alone.
