Description

If you have a TypeProcessor that does stateful things, you could run into issues with that state remaining. Not sure if the static approach was intentional, but just mentioning.

Research direction

Start by locating the SPI and TypeProcessor implementation and inspect how their state is created and retained. Reproduce whether a stateful TypeProcessor remains stale across processing runs, then determine the intended lifecycle. Done means the lifecycle is corrected or explicitly documented and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
