…fications Session autosave clears the crash-only snapshot removal marker on every write. UserDefaults posts didChangeNotification even when the value does not change, so each autosave wakes every defaults observer in the app. This test fails until the marker helpers skip no-op writes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each autosave write removed a legacy geometry key, rewrote the window geometry data, and removed the crash-only snapshot marker. UserDefaults posts didChangeNotification for every set/remove, including no-ops, so each save ran every defaults observer on the persistence queue and enqueued a main-actor refresh for each addUserDefaultsObserver client. SwiftUI's @AppStorage observer also takes SwiftUI's global update lock there, contending with main-thread rendering (sampled at 209 and 83 blocked samples in _MovableLockLock on com.cmuxterm.app.sessionPersistence). Write defaults only when the stored value changes, via new change-only helpers in CmuxFoundation, and encode the geometry with sorted keys so the byte comparison is stable. Steady-state autosaves now post zero defaults notifications instead of three. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Check the persistent domain before reporting a removal.
If a key exists only in the registration or argument domain, object(forKey:) passes this guard, but removeObject(forKey:) has no persisted value to remove. The helper then reports a removal and can repeat a no-op defaults mutation on every call. The structural issue is using the effective value as the source of truth for persisted-key presence. Make target-domain presence the removal invariant. As a first migration cut, add a test with a registered fallback and no persisted value, then make the helper return false without removing that key. (developer.apple.com)
As per coding guidelines, Swift fixes must address the state invariant rather than only one repro.

Port main's session changes into the extracted types: - #14822: SessionSnapshotPersistenceWriter writes geometry and the crash-only marker with setIfChanged/removeObjectIfPresent. - #14824: persistSessionSnapshot installs and consults the snapshot overwrite guard before handing the snapshot to the writer. - #14861: the test probe store implements the new SessionSnapshotStoring import/export/history requirements.

Summary
Every session autosave write made three
UserDefaultsmutations, even when nothing had changed: it removed a legacy geometry key, rewrote the window-geometry blob, and removed the crash-only snapshot marker.UserDefaultspostsdidChangeNotificationfor everyset/removeObject, including no-op ones. So each save ran every defaults observer in the app oncom.cmuxterm.app.sessionPersistence. That queued a main-actor refresh for eachaddUserDefaultsObserverclient (about 15 on main) and ran SwiftUI's@AppStorageobserver (176@AppStorageuses inSources/). The SwiftUI observer takes SwiftUI's global update lock, so it contends with main-thread rendering.Evidence from
sampleof the installed 0.64.25 app on a heavily loaded machine (10 s, one autosave write in the window). On the persistence queue, the defaults writes and their observer fan-out took about 400 samples, against about 120 for the JSON encode plus file write. That included:This change writes defaults only when the stored value actually changes. It uses new change-only helpers in CmuxFoundation (
setIfChanged(_:forKey:)forData/Bool,removeObjectIfPresent(forKey:)). The geometry blob is now encoded with.sortedKeys, so the byte comparison is stable. Decoding is unchanged.Before and after, per steady-state autosave write: 3
didChangeNotificationposts before, 0 after. That no-op writes post at all was confirmed with an isolated suite: a secondsetof identicalData, andremoveObjectof an absent key, each post one notification. Window geometry and crash-marker semantics are unchanged; real changes still write and notify once.Testing
