Description
The current behaviour uses the session with the lowest ID. The new spec (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1596) uses the session that the client last received a message on, and expires old sessions.

Research direction
Start by reading the issue and the linked Matrix spec proposal, matrix-doc pull request 1596, to understand the required session-selection and expiration behavior. Trace the existing multiple-session handling from the TypeScript entry point identified during repository search, then verify that it selects the session with the most recently received message and expires older sessions.
