ABAP objects have to be locked before they can be updated, and locking needs a stateful session. Eclipse works over RFC, which is stateful by default; a client working over HTTP has to manage the session flag itself, and the maintainer's account is that a 7.51 developer edition does this in method CONFIGURE_SESSION_STATE of class CL_ADT_WB_RES_APP while his other systems, a 7.50 PL5 one included, have no such method. This enhancement implements the same mechanism on those older systems.

A system that already handles the session has nothing to gain from it. The maintainer states that importing it there causes no issue and simply sets the flag twice.

Adds the backend half an HTTP ADT client needs before it can lock and update objects on a system older than 7.51, implementing in ABAP the session-state mechanism SAP ships from 7.51 on.

Technical details
The ABAP developement tools require ABAP objects to be locked before they can be updated. This requires stateful sessions Eclipse works over RFC, which is stateful by default
Visual studio code works over HTTP, and needs to manage the stateful session flag. This is handled fine in my 7.51 developer edition, but not in older systems. This enhancement implements the same mechanism in older systems
There is no need to install this in systems which handle the sessions already, but it won't cause issue if imported. It will simply (re)set the flag twice
In my 7.51 system this is done by SAP in method CONFIGURE_SESSION_STATE of class CL_ADT_WB_RES_APP, in my other systems (including a 7.50 PL5 one) it doesn't exist.
