"""Regression tests for issue #3506 — WebUI memory growth and idle CPU.
A user on a large install (615 sessions / 40k messages in state.db) reported the
WebUI Python process climbing from ~100 MB to ~1.5 GB RSS over 3 days and holding
180%+ CPU at idle. Three independent contributors were confirmed in the code:
1. ``api.session_lifecycle._sessions`` grew without bound — keys were inserted
on ``register_agent`` / ``mark_turn_completed`` but never deleted, so every
unique session_id the WebUI ever touched leaked a permanent entry.
2. ``SESSION_AGENT_CACHE_MAX`` / ``SESSIONS_MAX`` were hard-coded with no way
for an operator to tune the dominant RSS lever without editing source.
3. ``GatewayWatcher`` re-ran an expensive per-session ``MAX(messages.timestamp)``
aggregation over an oversampled candidate set every 5s, forever, even when
nothing in the sidebar-visible session set had changed.
These tests pin the fixes for all three:
* ``session_lifecycle.discard_session`` bounds the dict, safely.
* ``config._env_int`` makes the caps env-overridable with safe fallback.
* ``gateway_watcher._cheap_change_fingerprint`` is a sound, cheaper change
signal that the poll loop uses to skip the expensive projection.
