Members describe a desktop issue where opening a new session window appears to reuse an existing agent's context rather than being isolated, reported in several duplicate-looking issues. Two pull requests propose isolating new-session or New Window behavior from remembered sessions; their outcomes are not stated in the titles.

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.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 `0.28`: 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.
