These items appear related to A2A replies in the gateway: one reports the first 1-2 characters being stripped from persisted conversation text, and two pull-request-style titles concern delivering the complete final text as a single send or to adapters without a visible stream. The titles suggest a shared theme of complete final-reply delivery, but they do not confirm the cause or outcome.
