These issues and pull requests address bugs in macOS Desktop where secondary or tile-owner gateways are incorrectly pruned during idle/mode-switch cycles and where model catalog reads are misrouted to the wrong gateway. The work focuses on preserving the correct socket lifetime and routing for owner-routed and secondary gateways.
