How can you get all CAS variable names in a list?

Interesting. Thank you for the response.

By the sound of it, it seems unlikely that the feature would be added back in, then. I'm struggling to understand why it was removed at all.

The lack of this one feature is presently the only thing preventing me from implementing a CAS serialization workaround.

All it would take is a list of names of the variables. From those, you just need to wrap it all up with [name]+":="+CAS.eval([name]), put those strings in a list on Home view, and save the Home view. To load, you just go through the list with CAS(eval([list entry])) commands to reconstruct the CAS variables.

It's not quite as complete as the full stack restoration you get with Home view, but it's better than nothing.
