Both session upserts write the same eight header columns and differ only in
what they append; the agent_preset column made the pair long enough for the
duplication gate to flag it.
The composer seat spent nearly all its life disabled: a session's
composition is fixed once a turn has run. Move the choice to the
new-session screen beside the workspace picker, where it still works,
and let the session header report what a running session runs.
The hero pick is staged rather than applied — that screen precedes the
session it belongs to. It lands when a session becomes current and is
still blank, which covers both the session a workspace connect creates
and the blank one it reuses; riding `sessions.create` would miss the
second. It is spent on first use, matching the workspace picker.
Fix the durability the header field claimed but never had: `agentPreset`
was declared on `SessionHeader` and dropped by the JSONL header line, the
SQLite sessions row, the derived query index, and the cold list
projection, so every resumed session came back composed from nothing.
Add the web e2e lane that would have caught it — the one lane that mounts
the shipped roster, which needed `cordis:group` in the scaffold's Loader
builtins, as `mountRootInclude` already registers.
Conflict resolutions:
- `session.list`: master's projection columns fold into the PR's cancellable,
batched `listVisibleSessionSummaries`, which `session.search` shares as its
visibility baseline; master's goal helpers stay beside it.
- Client sessions face: master narrowed `ctx.sessions` to `ISessions`, so the
search verb and its protocol-constant bound are declared there and the
test-runtime double implements them (recorded, empty page unless a scenario
stubs hits).
- `WorkspaceBrowser`: master's per-row Rename wiring rides the PR's search
results view; the tree keeps the PR's query-free derivations.
- `dsh web` bin: the PR's shutdown-handlers-before-readiness order with
master's boot-time LAN address snapshot.
- `session-query-sqlite`: master's `SCHEMA_VERSION` 7 stands; the PR's bump
carried no schema change.
- Specs: master wraps assistant/steering message payloads and requires an
`application/json` carrier request, so the search fixtures and tests follow.
- Web aria goldens keep master's recording plus the PR's search placeholder;
the navigation-panes inventory keeps master's terminal-card golden next to
the PR's search-results golden.
The simplification deletes sandbox_mode and approval_policy from the parent branch's SQLite layouts. Restoring master's older version numbers would violate the monotonic schema contract and could make a database created by the parent look current under a different layout.
Advance durable session persistence from schema 11 to 12 and the disposable session-query index from 6 to 7. The former rejects the incompatible parent layout; the latter resets its derived tables through the existing version-mismatch path.
JSONL shares SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION 0 during pre-release, so explicitly reject the retired sandboxMode and approvalPolicy header fields instead of silently dropping the only inherited policy facts from a parent-produced child log. New logs carry those facts as ordinary seeded events.
Focused JSONL, SQLite persistence, and SQLite query suites cover all affected source lines and branches.
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.
The baseline columns pushed the two INSERT binding lists past the clone
threshold; one _headerBindings helper now owns the shared header prefix
(the duplication gate's finding).
Review fixes (ds-review-bot on #623):
- overrideOf (both knobs) rejects a seedLength past the log end before
slicing: a malformed durable boundary would otherwise empty the
own-switch slice until the log outgrew it, letting a wide baseline
shadow a REAL later tightening. Malformed durable metadata fails loud,
never open.
- The session-query derived index carries the two baseline fields end to
end: schema columns on both session tables (SESSION_QUERY_SQLITE_SCHEMA
_VERSION 6 — derived, rebuilds in place), inserts, header selects, the
candidates CTE, rowHeader, sameHeader, and the cross-source
assertSessionHeadersCompatible — so a search hit's header keeps the
child's inherited confinement and conflicting live/persisted baselines
reject.
Red-first: out-of-range seedLength tests in both policy suites;
baseline round-trip and live/persisted baseline-conflict tests in the
session-query sqlite suite.
