This is a release check, not a claim of new changes during the current week. Record both identifiers when reporting a failure.

## Documented change

The release notes describe a patch roll-up, Connectors replacing the MCP tab and changes to profile and gateway lifecycle. They defer the full curated notes to a future 0.22.0 release.


## Operational interpretation

A desktop connector being visible does not prove a separately running messaging gateway has loaded it. Check which profile, executable and configuration the actual process uses.


## Next checks

1. Save the installed tag, internal version and profile name.
2. Check one connector from a new conversation and one message through the intended gateway.
3. Keep the previous environment until rollback and memory recovery have been checked.
