One step trims the end of that record. It has changed how it chooses the entry to cut at: it now skips entries carrying a particular marker and discards entries that cannot be read or are not suitable. Before, it picked the last entry without the marker.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how saved session files are trimmed.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
