Is headache on a GLP-1 receptor agonist dose-dependent or dose-rate dependent?

What I am working with: headache · a GLP-1 receptor agonist.

The empirical answer seems settled. The explanation does not.

If the honest answer is that nobody knows, I would rather hear that than a plausible story.

What is the causal chain, and where does it stop being established?
