"session_serialization false" not functioning as expected

[YoureMySoul]

Issue description

While monitoring the processes, I noticed that Zellij was continuously writing to the storage, unlike most programs. I identified the specific files being written. However, when I attempted to disable the 'Session Resurrection', it didn't work as expected.

Both the command-line argument and the configuration option are not working.

I use the fatrace command to identify which files are being written to:

Thank you for creating this amazing program. I truly appreciate and enjoy using it.

Minimal reproduction

zellij --config=/dev/null options --session-serialization false

For the last three weeks, I have been using this workaround:

Very likely the same problem as #3127.
