What
Caches that were previously process-wide now live in a per-session store: the WebFetch URL and domain-check caches, the send-file duplicate set, Bash working-directory tracking, the alias-probe fired set, plus per-host containers holding plugin sync state, the keybinding writer, the diagnostics manager and the binary-check cache. In a process running more than one session at once (SDK, runner, cowork) these no longer bleed across sessions.
Details
The store is created with the session context and carried through context construction, forking and agent spawn.
Disposing a session installs a fresh store rather than clearing shared maps.
