 ### Bug fixes 🐛
 
+* The kwargs `job_tags` and `session_id` are passed to the correct arguments in the 
+  `circuit_runner` device so that they will be used in the Qiskit backend; these 
+  were previously ignored.

 * In `IBMQSamplerDevice` the `generate_samples` function:
   1. gets counts from the nearest probability distribution because 
   the quasi-distribution may contain negative probabilities.
