What
Cost totals (input tokens, lines removed, cache-creation tokens, web-search requests), the last API completion timestamp, the package-manager version cache and the one-shot "fast icon hint shown" flag are no longer shared across the whole process; each is now scoped to a host, so separate sessions no longer share them.
Evidence
fastIconHintShown
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
