TFs and SSK, I don't understand

Have had a series of odd occurrences that I can't make any sense of, so trying to get clear how this works.

A few weeks ago, ran a numina (cap=40), leader was 38, missions set at 40.

Also some time ago, ran a Virgil (cap=20) with a level 18 leader, mission level was 20 and exemped players stayed at 18 even when the leader levelled.

Just after the last patch, ran a manti (cap=35), I was leader at 34, mission level was 34.

Today ran a Virgil, but I was SKed not exemped. Went from 17 to 18 when the leader levelled to 19, but stuck at 18 when he hit 20. Missions were level 20 throughout.

Yesterday ran a Katie Hannon, I formed the team, passed the star to the person who could start it, they talked to Katie and we did the first mission, exited and the first mission still showed as active (and indeed somebody was able to reenter). The person who started the TF couldn't talk to Katie. I did, and the mission switched to the second mish of the TF, the team display changing to me at the top, with the starter still having the star although indented on the team menu. I had to do all the subsequent talking to Katie.

I understand some of this like the difference in behaviour on the 2 Virgils being due to the fact that if you're at the cap for the TF as leader, SKs are to your level -1 whereas if you're above that, they SK to the cap level.

What I don't understand is why heroes and villains seem to behave differently and the Numina and Manti behaved differently.

It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba

Signature TF/SFs have foes set to max level no matter the level of the leader. eg.
There seems to be some kind of lag bug at the moment in TFs where the missions don't clear at exit, had it happen to my team yesterday as well on a clockwork.

Even more confused now, ran a sister psyche with a 23 leader and everything set at 25-26 so it appears to just be Manti that's out of line. May try to run another one to check this.
