Resuming a session picks up its running cost instead of resetting the counter to zero.

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.
