- #35745: \[Bug\]: Runtime footer displays stale TERMINAL_CWD instead of the agent's live working directory
- PR #35767: fix(gateway): show live cwd in runtime footer

The members split into two themes: two concern the runtime footer showing a stale TERMINAL_CWD rather than the live working directory, and two concern skill lookup/skill_view ignoring nested asset files (including asset markdown) during collision scanning. The two themes appear unrelated beyond being fixes in the same project.

## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 1 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
