I only have two superficial comments as of now.

A naming question, why "Service" in ServiceSession ? In IdPv3 a
Service is a configurable Component, a generic thing, and I was
expecting ClientSession or RelyingPartySession.

Why store the flow ID ? I think flow IDs might change, via
configuration, during a session lifetime.
