I know this has been discussed before but has anyone come up with a
foolproof way to identify a stack?

Stack IDs are an anomaly in the otherwise-consist use of IDs throughout LiveCode. Unlike other objects, the stack ID is merely a placeholder for the next available ID for newly created objects, and as such it'll change over time as you noted.

In LiveCode stack names are required to be unique within a session, so those can be used for distinguishing them from other open stacks.
