- #42079: Discord thread history backfill loses context between bot messages
- PR #42075: fix(discord): don't break at bot messages in thread backfill
- PR #90857: fix(discord): rebase thread backfill continue onto current main

The members all concern Discord thread backfill: one issue reports that context is lost between bot messages, and two pull requests (one a rebase onto current main) propose changes so backfill does not stop at bot messages. Their titles do not show whether any change has been merged or whether the problem has been fixed.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 2 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 0 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
