Storage and credential handles passed as arguments instead of read globally

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Auth

Dozens of functions now receive storage and credentials as arguments instead of reading global state.

What

Dozens of functions, including plugin loading, marketplace fetch, session archive lookup, MCP login and logout, worktree helpers, quota probing and session file writers, now take storage and credential handles as parameters. Nothing changes for a user; a pile of implicit global state leaves the credentials path.

Evidence

async function ce(e, { storageV5: o, credentials: t }) {

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
