These issues and fixes concern whether context length displays should divide by 1000 (decimal) or 1024 (binary) when formatting values with a 'K' suffix, with disagreement or iteration across gateway, CLI, and banner components.

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(partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.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 0.34: the share of item 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.
