We have a timeout between login actions.  For example, you enter your 
username password, get redirected to OTP form, wait 5 minutes, then a 
timeout happens.  You are currently booted out with an Error page.  The 
ClientSession can still exist as it may not have been reaped by the 
reaper thread yet.

It’s not going to be able to reconcile the state on redirect after login. Maybe the behavior should be configurable?  Maybe I’m missing something. What do you mean by reset the ClientSession and start over from the beginning? Where is the beginning?
