- Around line 169-175: Update the expiry calculation in the `ai` handling flow
to keep each assertion ID cached until the latest valid expiry among
`Conditions.NotOnOrAfter`, every `SubjectConfirmationData.NotOnOrAfter`, and
`SessionNotOnOrAfter`. Parse available values and use the latest; only when none
parse, fall back to the fixed TTL using `p.sp.Clock` so it matches assertion
validation.

- Around line 77-82: Update replayCache.start to capture the stop signal’s done

under the same lock when signaling stop; have the pruning goroutine wait on the
captured channel and exit without locking. This ensures a start immediately
after stop launches a pruning goroutine.

Base the cache expiry on how long the assertion stays valid, not on the session lifetime.
The cache must keep an assertion ID for as long as the assertion can still be accepted. That window ends at Conditions.NotOnOrAfter or SubjectConfirmationData.NotOnOrAfter. SessionNotOnOrAfter is a different value: it sets the session lifetime, and it can be earlier than the assertion's validity end. When no session expiry is present, the code uses a 1-hour fallback, which can also end before the assertion does.
In both cases, prune() deletes the ID while the assertion is still valid. A captured response can then be replayed until its validity window closes.
The fallback also uses time.Now(). validateAssertionWarnings checks validity against p.sp.Clock, so the cache and the validity check can disagree about the current time.
Fix: compute expiresAt as the latest of these times:
- the parsed
assertion.Conditions.NotOnOrAfter - each
SubjectConfirmationData.NotOnOrAfter SessionNotOnOrAfter
Fall back to the current time plus a fixed TTL only when none of these values parse.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
A start() call right after stop() can leave pruning disabled.
stop() signals stopSig, but it does not clear isRunning. The pruning goroutine clears isRunning later, after it reads stopSig.Done(). There is a gap between those two steps. If start() runs in that gap, it sees isRunning == true and returns. The old goroutine then exits. After that, no pruning goroutine runs, so entries grows on every login until the next disable/enable cycle. OnDisable followed by OnEnable on the same backend calls stop() and then start().
Fix: read the done channel inside start() while holding the lock, and clear isRunning in stop() while holding the same lock. The goroutine then needs no lock.
