Additional Information

I have a suspicion that this might be related to what is happening during session startup.
There sometimes is a summary message added async. When I noop'd the summarizer call in cli.js (in 1.0.12*) the session id and file got reused more often.
But a second factor was MCP servers being started.

Maybe anything happening async during session startup can force new uuid?
