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)

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