PR Description
This PR fixes an issue where opening a session from the History tab in read-only mode updated the session’s
updated_attimestamp, causing it to move to the top of the history list and break chronological ordering.The root cause was that
resume_agent()was callingupdate_provider(), which persisted provider data to the database and updated theupdated_attimestamp even when the session was only being viewed.Changes Made
To fix this, a new
load_provider()method was introduced to restore the provider state in memory only, without writing to the database or updating timestamps.resume_agent()now uses this method when loading sessions from history.load_provider()to restore provider state without persistenceresume_agent()to useload_provider()instead ofupdate_provider()Type of Change
