These issues and fixes address multiple places where exceptions—particularly database flush errors and EventBridge poll exceptions—were being silently caught and discarded rather than logged or surfaced. The work spans session DB flush paths and the EventBridge polling loop.

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(partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.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 0.29: 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.
