Emergency Session Cleanup — 9.9 MB → 0.18 MB

Session storage ballooned to 9.9 MB, causing severe gateway response delays. Identified and cleaned stale, orphaned, and duplicate sessions. Result: 9.9 MB → 0.18 MB (98 % reduction), response speed normalized. Root cause: no automatic session expiration was configured. Fix: set a 7‑day TTL and added periodic cleanup to cron. Memory leaks happen in data stores, not just processes.
