  * Cache storage implementation using HordeSession.

+ * Reads go through the modern PSR-4 {@see HordeSession}. Writes invalidate
+ * the cached scope instead of replacing it, so the next request reloads the
+ * scope from storage. This avoids a write-ordering race against
+ * {@see \Horde\Core\Session\SessionLifecycle::shutdown()}, which mirrors
+ * {@see HordeSession} back into `$_SESSION` at request shutdown: a
+ * `store()` that ran after the mirror would never reach the persisted
+ * session row, leaving subsequent requests with stale prefs until the
+ * session was destroyed.
