Channel conversations start a new session after upgrade

What changed

Channel sessions now route independently for each direct chat, group chat, or thread. Existing channel sessions are preserved, but start a new routed session when the next inbound channel message arrives after upgrading.

Why this matters to the user

The previous channel data does not identify which external conversation owned a session. Assigning it to a chat or thread would risk exposing one conversation's context to another, so the first new message starts with a fresh session.

What the user should do

Nothing — the new session is created automatically. Open the existing session in Cherry Studio if you need to refer to its earlier context.

Notes for release manager

This applies only to existing channel sessions migrated from the prior single-session-per-channel model.
