@@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ Key choices recorded here because they are durable, contested, and surprising:
 - **Append-only with a single exception.** Committed events — those at or below a flushed `turn/end` — are never rewritten. The loop only flushes at `turn/end`, so a crash can leave a half-written final turn below the last checkpoint; `load` returns events only up to the **last complete `turn/end`**, and the first post-load `append` runs a one-time **truncation-repair** (`ftruncate` + `fsync`) that physically discards only that never-committed crash tail before writing.
 - **File backend canonical, DB backend a drop-in.** `SessionEvent` maps 1:1 onto a row `(session_id, seq, type, time, data)` — `append` is INSERT (in a transaction asserting the contiguous-seq contract), `load` is SELECT … ORDER BY seq. A future `dsh-session-persistence-sqlite` is a `SessionPersistence` subclass with no interface change (opencode runs this exact shape on SQLite/WAL).
 - **Metadata is out-of-log.** Format version, cwd, and lineage are storage concerns, not replayable conversation state, so they live in a `SessionMeta` (`SessionHeader & SessionSummary`) owned by `dsh-session` and attached to a `Session` via a new readonly `session.header` — never in `SessionEventMap`, never reaching `deriveMessages()`. The alternative (a merge-extensible `session/meta` event as log line 0) was rejected: an in-log event would ride along with a seeded/forked session for free, but metadata is not replayable state, so the explicit out-of-log header seam is the cleaner cost.
-- **`load` returns a resumable event log, not just bytes.** `load(sessionId)` yields the `SessionMeta` plus the committed `SessionEvent[]` (through the last complete `turn/end`), shaped so a caller can reconstruct a live session with the loaded events as seed (so `lastTurnNumber`/`deriveMessages` continue) on the SAME session id. The agent-facing create/resume factory that consumes this is a separate seam (a follow-up on `ctx.agents`); the persistence layer deliberately stops at the `load` primitive and does NOT reach into the loop. The agent-loop does NOT hard-inject `sessionPersistence` (that would pend non-persistent demos forever), so any resume path built on this rejects with a typed error when the backend is absent.

 Format versioning: the header carries a `version`; `load` rejects an unknown version (no v1 migration). Stated honestly: append-only + flush is robust to partial trailing writes (tolerated on load) but not to fsync-less power loss mid-line; a DB/WAL backend is the stronger option later.
