- #51058: TUI/Desktop session mix-up after context compression / reconnect resumes the wrong chat
- PR #133915: fix(tui): fail-closed gateway event filter during the session-switch window

Most members concern sessions being confused or resumed incorrectly in the TUI and Desktop, including cross-session events during a switch window, stale runtime-session recovery, active session state syncing, and compression-ancestor messages in the REST endpoint. Two titles are duplicates, and one appears to be the originating issue report (#51058).
