🐛 Fixes
Token usage now resets on cached session switch
After v1.8.1's session content cache, switching between sessions could leave the token ring, cost, and context-usage display showing the previous session's values instead of the newly-selected session.
Root cause: the cache-hit path in prepareForSessionSwitch was pre-setting the session-file marker to the new session, which caused refreshFromBackend's session-boundary detection to skip its sessionStats reset (the marker matched the incoming session, so the code thought nothing changed). The stale token/cost values from the prior session persisted in the composer.
Fix: removed the pre-assignment so the boundary detection fires normally — sessionStats resets to nulls, then the async stats refresh repopulates with the correct session's data.
