The user, messages 23609 and 23614 (2026-10-10): workers are reused by their whole session, so they keep their context. A helper whose agent ended resumes its own session (to-do 3872); a fresh start under the same name wastes the user's tokens. It belongs in the journal application itself, not only this project.
