+# Session Manager item equality helper
+
+## Scope and references
+
+- lib/session/session-manager.ts: longestSharedPrefixLength (around lines 22-37) uses JSON.stringify comparison
+- lib/session/session-manager.ts: findSuffixReuseStart (around lines 92-103) uses JSON.stringify comparison
+
+## Existing issues
+
+- None observed related to this refactor (no issue referenced in request)
+
+## Existing PRs
+
+- None observed; task requested directly by review comment
+
+## Definition of done
+
+- Shared helper (e.g., itemsEqual) added to centralize equality check with safe JSON stringify in try/catch
+- longestSharedPrefixLength and findSuffixReuseStart use the helper instead of inline JSON.stringify comparisons
+- Build/test commands remain passing or noted if not run
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Avoid duplicated JSON.stringify comparisons; centralize error handling for failed stringify
+- Apply helper in both functions mentioned in review
+- Create new branch and open PR targeting dev when changes are complete
