Read #60745Pick up a Lab taskMost members concern passing the authenticated dashboard user identity (Session.user_id) through to agent construction, including PTY/TUI spawn paths, with issue reports about multi-user isolation and memory providers. One member, about scoping chat attach tokens by session, is related to dashboard auth but is a somewhat different concern.

How this cluster was grouped
-
Link evidence (
partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text. - Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
-
Pairwise link density
0.23: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36.1.00means every pair is linked.
