Daily classifications count is lost when you go to Talk

	.volatile(self => ({
	sessionCount: 0
	}))

Your daily session count is stored in volatile storage here, which means that it isn't saved in the panoptes-user snapshot when you leave the Classify page. As a result, it starts again from 0 each time that you return.

One subtle side effect of this bug is that sessionCount % 5 will always be 0 here, meaning that you'll be nagged about workflow promotion on every subject, if you classify using Done & Talk rather than Done.

Lines 38 to 40 in 2092b81

	get sessionCountIsDivisibleByFive() {
	return self.sessionCount % 5 === 0
	},

sessionCount is also used to calculate your total classification count here, leading to the impression that classifications have been lost when the volatile state resets to 0.

	get totalClassificationCount() {
	const activityCount = self.projectPreferences?.activity_count || 0
	return activityCount + self.sessionCount
	}

This bug can give the impression that classifications have been lost and might be the bug discussed here: bug concerning vanishing classifications statistics / resetting total classifications counter (Zooniverse Talk.)

Also worth noting that sessionCount increments from zero as long as a tab is open, so isn’t a daily count either. Fixed in #5082 by counting daily classifications separately from classifications for the current browser session.
