Documentation only; no behavior change.
`firstLiveSeq`'s JSDoc still stated the boundary sits at that seq
unconditionally. Verified reachable on a plain production path: pick up a log,
do no work, pick it up again — the seed already ends in a boundary, so it is
not re-marked and `events[firstLiveSeq]` is undefined. Both that claim and the
firehose-gap sentence are now conditional, with the locate rule ("scan for the
last boundary") matching what types.ts already said.
`repair.ts`'s header claimed this module supplies the boundary. It does not —
the constructor does; this module supplies the activity read that must skip it.
Reworded, and it now names the closer timestamp leak, which is the one real
coupling that justifies `lastActivityTime` living beside the repair synthesis.
Recorded that `Session`'s constructor is the boundary's only legitimate writer,
since the invariant companion constrains nothing and a plugin-side append would
silently turn live brackets below it into dead history.
- `SessionSummary.updatedAt`'s wire doc still said "Persisted file mtime",
which stopped being true for attached sessions.
- The core invariant let `session/inherited` fall through the merge-extensible
default. It is core-owned, so it gets an explicit case; an unbalanced seed
legally places it inside an open turn, which the relation permits.
- The Agent Note claimed the boundary reaches disk via `live.pending`/
`scheduleDrain`. Verified false: the constructor append precedes `enter()`,
so it never publishes on `session/event` and rides the creation seed instead.
Attaching is therefore a write where none happened before — recorded, since
only `load()` stays a pure read.
- The deferred-index proposal asserted this change documented the cold-mtime
skew on `dsh-host-apiproxy`. It did not; the README entry now exists.
- `firstLiveSeq`'s firehose gap runs through its own seq, not below it.
- The boundary is not always at `firstLiveSeq` (the idempotence guard), so
consumers scan for the last one.
- `lastActivityTime` excludes by type, so a pickup time still leaks onto a
synthetic closer when a boundary ends an open turn. Documented.
- Pin the fork claim end-to-end: a child inherits a still-running parent's
open bracket below its own boundary, while the parent has none. Fails if the
write moves back to the load path.
- Fix the telemetry title that contradicted its own assertions.
The `/status` call site cannot be pinned the way the other two are: the
command appends its own `command/run` before rendering, so the boundary is
never the log tail there. Its fixture now at least renders over a
boundary-bearing log.
`isInheritedSeq` had no production caller — only its own tests — so it was
a public core export shaped by nothing. A bracket owner reads the boundary
positionally; the helper belongs with the compaction seam, where a real
consumer decides its signature.
Also condense the `session/inherited` and `lastActivityTime` docs.
A plugin owning a standalone open/close bracket cannot tell a dead marker
from a live one: an unmatched `compact/start` reads identically whether the
previous writer died mid-compaction or a compaction is running now.
`Session.firstLiveSeq` already holds that answer exactly, but only in memory.
Append the log-only `session/inherited` event at that seq from the seeded
constructor — the single waist all six seeded-start paths pass through
(resume, configured startup on a persisted id, `sessions.fork()`, a subagent
fork child, `adopt()`'s live prefix, and a bare seeded `create`). Read it
through the new `isInheritedSeq(events, seq)`.
The constructor placement means persistence needs no changes: the marker is
already in `events` when a backend captures the creation seed, so it rides
the ordinary seed path with no load-time write. It also covers fork, where
the inherited bracket's owner may still be running — the case a
persistence-layer boundary could not reach.
Activity ordering excludes the boundary through `lastActivityTime()`, since
lazy resume makes browsing a pickup and the three call sites would otherwise
float every opened session to the top of a picker or list.
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.
