 Client cordis boot and React-free object services: SlotsService wraps SlotCore and supplies renderer data sources; SessionsService owns Session objects and the Chat-facing list, scope, and event-window state; SessionHistoryService lazily owns independent raw-history ledgers for inspection consumers, loading the current tail first and prepending one older page only when its consumer requests it. Each history snapshot exposes the raw window's absolute base sequence so a consumer detects a prepend even when the page adds no surface-visible node. WorkspacesService depends on SessionsService and owns Workspace objects, list/actions, default-target derivation, and the New Session blank-reuse entry (`connectWorkspace`). The runtime fans the shared Host stream into the Session, Workspace, and activated history owners without routing inspection state through Session or SessionManager, and bridges the registry-invalidation frames to typed ctx events (`commands/changed`, `settings/changed`, `credentials/changed`, `models/changed`) so surface caches refetch without touching the stream. Client sessions are always Host-born (Session+Agent+cwd in one `session.create`); the client holds no pre-entity session state — a session's Agent scope (the client mirror of host dsh-scope, keyed by the shared agent/session id) is born when its row enters the list mirror and dies with the prune. Contract: api-contracts v3 §4. Each `Session` holds a generic `ProjectionValueStore` seeded from the history-tail `projections` block and updated by `session/projection` frames under higher-seq-wins; domain keys (including `todos`) are read via `projections.faceOf` / `useProjection`, not via `ConversationSnapshot`. The store also publishes one reference-stable whole-value map through `SessionSummary.projectionValues`, allowing global list consumers to reuse the same projections without creating per-session subscriptions.
 
-For each ordinary local `Session.prompt()`, the runtime samples the browser's current `Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone` and attaches it to that one prompt RPC. It is neither cached nor included in Session creation or fork state, so travel and concurrent tabs keep message-local provenance. A browser that cannot provide a non-empty zone fails the prompt locally instead of silently substituting deployment state.

 Session model selection is a session-domain contract. `session.models` returns the current `ModelSelection` separately from provider-grouped advisory models, exact-model reasoning metadata, and provider-local lookup failures. The selection may be absent from the groups and is never injected as a synthetic row; clients can prompt for another selection without turning the directory into a routing whitelist. `session.selectModel` validates the optional adapter-owned reasoning effort and assigns the complete selection for the next prompt-assembly boundary. Catalog membership is not validation: an adapter may resolve an unlisted model, while an unavailable provider or unsupported effort returns `model-unavailable`. `session.models` additionally reports `routable`: whether an adapter currently serves the selected provider. This is deliberately not derivable from the groups because an adapter may serve an unadvertised model. `session.prompt` refuses on the same fact with `model-unavailable` before opening a turn; a disabled composer is a client affordance, and the method remains callable.
 
-`session.prompt` also accepts optional request-local `clientTimeZone` provenance. When present, the Host validates and canonicalizes `UTC` or an IANA Area/Location before Agent entry, rejects invalid input with `invalid-time-zone`, and records the canonical value on that exact `user-rpc` message beside its `rpcId`. The value is not Session, connection, create, resume, or fork state; non-browser callers may omit it.

The value is not Session, connection, create, resume, or fork state; non-browser callers may omit it.
 
 Pending queued input is a live control-plane contract, not conversation history. The gateway derives the complete `next-turn` queue from durable `agent/inbox/spliced` mutations and broadcasts authoritative `session/queue` snapshots after each change and on reconnect; pending `next-step` steering stays outside this Web projection. Within `next-step`, user-origin messages carry the `steering` placement while injected context (approval notices, task completion, attached snapshots) carries `context` and is not surfaced until claimed. The message-local `agent/inbox/inserted`, `claimed`, and `discarded` notifications remain available to lifecycle observers but do not build the queue view. `session.updateQueue` addresses one `MessageId`; edit and remove mutate the attached Agent through `Inbox.splice()`. A claim's pure deletion splice wins races before pre-step admission, so a later operation returns `queue-item-not-found`. `session.cancel` aborts only the active turn and preserves pending inbox work; after cancellation reaches quiescence and the closing turn flushes, AgentLoop claims the next waking message in FIFO order, and the browser never resends or promotes it. Queue operations never resume a cold session, and the client never infers retirement from turn or status events.
