What
The sweep that deletes leftover session records now checks that a record belongs to the same machine before removing another process's entry, and leaves anything it cannot attribute in place rather than guessing.
Details
- On Linux a record seen during the current pass also qualifies for removal.
- Unattributable dead records are neither counted nor deleted.
- Reading a record is retried once before giving up.
- An unknown previous version is recovered from a side file before an unclean exit is reported.
- The sweep still runs only when registry sweeping is permitted.
Evidence
dead records are left in place (neither counted nor deleted)
