Inherited sandbox and approval events were part of the constructor seed. Session.firstLiveSeq classifies every constructor event as replayed history, so telemetry adoption skipped these child-only creation facts even though no parent or prior process had exported them.
Capture the parent overrides at the same synchronous delegation boundary, but append the events during the child factory setup while the session is still unpublished. They remain ordered after fork history, persist with the first child batch, and retain last-event-wins behavior while landing on the live side of the telemetry boundary. This uses the existing setup and session append contracts instead of adding another seed category or telemetry special case.
Add regression coverage for exporting an unpublished suffix without re-exporting constructor history, assert the spawn and fork firstLiveSeq boundaries, and restore the public seed documentation to replay/fork history only.
The parent implementation introduced sandboxMode and approvalPolicy as generic SessionHeader fields, then propagated those fields through both persistence backends, session-query indexes, collision checks, policy-specific seed-boundary folds, catalogs, and a broad test matrix. That storage plane is unnecessary: Session already accepts a validated constructor seed, and persistence captures that seed when the session is announced before committing its first batch.
Capture each parent override synchronously at delegation, append source-tagged sandbox/mode and approval/policy records after the optional fork prefix, and create the child with that combined seed. Keeping header.seedLength at the original fork-prefix length preserves lineage while ordinary last-event-wins folds make the inherited records outrank stale parent history and remain subordinate to later child switches. Unswitched parents still stamp nothing, so children continue to follow deployment defaults.
Remove the generic header fields and every persistence/query/schema branch built around them. Collapse the inheritance suite from ten leaking scenarios to four owned-context cases covering real filesystem confinement, stale fork precedence, delegation-time capture, and the no-override path. The assembled headless snapshot now asserts the persisted inheritance event directly.
This keeps the security behavior while restoring policy ownership to the existing event log and deleting the speculative durability machinery that the original tests did not exercise.
Retarget the feature branch to the current master tip without rewriting its existing review history. Keeping this as a dedicated merge checkpoint makes the later simplification diff attributable to the stacked child rather than mixing base movement with design changes.
Resolve the identified-message API drift in the feature tests by constructing complete user messages, reading the nested tool-result message shape, and adapting the prompt-submit listener signature. Preserve both sides of the user-approval conflict: master’s createUserMessage wrapper and the feature’s inherited-policy attribution.
Regenerate the Cordis and persistence catalogs, re-record the session README pair, and refresh the affected ACP/headless fixtures so derived artifacts describe the merged source rather than either parent in isolation.
Validated with the focused policy/session/persistence/query suites (430 tests), focused ACP/headless snapshots (3 tests), build, doc-sync (25 gates), lint, hygiene, and git diff checks.
The public classifier existed to defend an exported reader against
arbitrary signals, but its only production caller is the loop reading
its own machine-private turn signal, where cancel() is the sole aborter
and always writes one frozen canonical cause. Delete the export and its
15-line structural validation: settle() states the slot invariant with
one cast, the boolean call sites ask signal.aborted directly, and the
retry veto drops entirely because a requested window already implies a
live signal (cancel() retires the window before aborting).
The abort(reason) channel and first-wins semantics are unchanged; only
the reader's publicness is gone, and with it the paranoia it required.
Three ordering fixes on the admission and settlement boundaries.
kick() installs the abort owner, marks the interval busy (running is
emitted before any listener can observe the claim), and installs the
pending done BEFORE publishing agent/inbox/dequeue: a dequeue listener
that cancels or disposes now finds live cancellation and quiescence
ownership instead of the previous activity's settled state, and claimed
prompt admission — including asynchronous prompt-submit hooks — sits
inside the running interval where cancel routing can reach it. The
admission-rejected path yields one microtask before continueOrIdle so
the idle transition cannot fire inside send()'s synchronous extent.
agent/idle now names only committed turns: a run that aborts or fails
before its turn/start commits exits without the notification, since
there is no durable turn/end for settlement consumers to act against.
The event's JSDoc states the narrowed contract.
Review fix (ds-review-bot critical #2 on #623): the first-turn event stamp
had a durability hole no turn anchoring can close — an idle SessionStart-
style injection persists a complete one-shot turn before any prompt turn
opens, so a crash in that window left a resumable-looking child with no
inherited policy, falling back to a possibly wider deployment default.
The captured overrides now ride the child's creation meta into its
immutable SessionHeader (sandboxMode/approvalPolicy, neutral strings at the
session boundary — the delegationDepth precedent), durable from the moment
the session exists: no listener ordering can starve the baseline and no
crash window can lose it. overrideOf(session) on both policy services
resolves fold(events past header.seedLength) ?? header baseline, validating
against the closed vocabulary on read; stampOverride and the prompt-submit
listener machinery are deleted. The header field rides both persistence
backends (JSONL header line; SQLite sessions columns, SCHEMA_VERSION 11 —
pre-release, no migration). pty-local reads through overrideOf so PTY
spawns see the baseline too.
Red-first: header-durability-before-any-turn test (the injection crash
window shape), baseline/seed-boundary/closed-vocabulary contract tests in
both service suites; the real-wall suite (race, veto, fork stale-seed,
grandchild) re-anchored on header assertions and green. The Agent Note's
Alternatives now records the superseded event-stamping iteration with the
review evidence; bilingual docs updated.
Address a fresh-eye review of the disposal/injection fixes:
- disposal now snapshots, clears, and marks disposed BEFORE emitting
agent/inbox/discard (mirroring cancel's snapshot→clear→emit), so a
re-entrant send/cancel from a discard listener throws 'disposed' or
finds an empty inbox instead of leaking or double-discarding an id.
The discard is unconditional (even on unpublished setup-rollback) to
match send's unconditional enqueue, keeping every id balanced.
- restore the turnRecorded guard on the idle-injection flush: a
turn/start rejected pre-commit (append reentrancy / internal-dispatch
veto) records nothing and owes no flush; the previous unconditional
flush emitted a phantom-turn agent/error. The isTurnOpen/turnRecorded
branches are reachable (reentrant inject from a session/event
listener) and now covered by a regression test rather than v8-ignored.
- rewrite the agent/inbox/discard event JSDoc to enumerate all three
emitters (cancel, terminal turn-stop, disposal) — every enqueued id
gets exactly one terminal dequeue-or-discard.
Per-file coverage stays 100%.
