What
Session cost is now saved into the conversation transcript and read back when the session loads, so a resumed session continues from its existing spend instead of restarting the counter at zero.
Details
The transcript's record-type table gained a cost-state entry with last-wins semantics, so the newest cost line for a session wins.
Malformed cost-state lines are validated on read and dropped rather than breaking the load.
Both loaders carry the restored cost onto the session: the full transcript read and the incremental follow-on read.
Evidence
"cost-state": "last-wins"
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
