Item, object, quest and text records are kept between sessions, as 1.12.1 keeps its template caches.
- **Which stores persist:** each store's constructor sets a persist byte at `+0x39`. The creature, game object, item name, item, NPC text, quest, page text and item text stores are saved. The name, guild, pet-name and petition stores are session-only and cleared at world entry (`0x555740`).
- **The file:** one per store per realm under `benilla-config/cache/`, in the reference's layout, header-checked (build, locale, record size), with a hit sending no query (`0x5586ca`). The records are the server's answer bytes, decoded on load by the live decoder.
- **The item-name store** answers `CMSG_ITEM_NAME_QUERY` (`0x559fe0`), and item-set member names read it.
- **Cleanup:** the old creature-only file is removed on load, and three comments that called the name caches persistent are corrected.
Tests cover every store across a session, header mismatches, eviction and the live packet path.
