 - iOS/gateway foreground recovery: reconnect immediately on foreground return after stale background sockets are torn down, so the app no longer stays disconnected until a later wake path happens. (#41384) Thanks @mbelinky.
 - Cron/subagent followup: do not misclassify empty or `NO_REPLY` cron responses as interim acknowledgements that need a rerun, so deliberately silent cron jobs are no longer retried. (#41383) thanks @jackal092927.
 - Auth/cooldowns: reset expired auth-profile cooldown error counters before computing the next backoff so stale on-disk counters do not re-escalate into long cooldown loops after expiry. (#41028) thanks @zerone0x.
+- Gateway/node pending drain followup: keep `hasMore` true when the deferred baseline status item still needs delivery, and avoid allocating empty pending-work state for drain-only nodes with no queued work. (#41429) Thanks @mbelinky.
