Clearing internal state now keeps entries marked as a startup memory seed instead of wiping everything

What

A new internal helper clears a stored map of state but now keeps any entries whose value is marked with startupMemorySeed, and trims a related companion object down to match only the keys that survived.

Why

This prevents certain startup-seeded data from being lost when this state-clearing routine runs, though the finding doesn't specify what that seeded data is used for.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what startup memory seed entries contain or why they need to survive clearing.
