Tianyi Cui df4b7d3d9a feat(session-persistence): abstract seam + JSONL backend + wiring
Add the durable session-persistence capability seam (ADR 0016): an
abstract SessionPersistence service (dsh-session-persistence,
ctx.sessionPersistence) defining create/append/load/list/has/delete/
update over the existing SessionEvent — no parallel persisted type — and
a first implementation (dsh-session-persistence-jsonl): an append-only
JSONL log per session with crash-safe atomic writes, truncation-repair
of a never-committed crash tail, and a read/replay path. SessionMeta
(format version, cwd, lineage) travels out-of-log via session.header.

A shared runPersistenceContract suite holds every backend to the same
append-only / contiguous-seq / lazy-materialization / serializability
semantics.

Config-driven create() now uses a per-run ${id}-session-<uuid> session
id so a fixed name no longer collides with an on-disk log once a durable
backend is loaded; each run is a new session (a demo simplification). The
examples drop their hand-rolled session-jsonl.ts and load the JSONL
backend via cordis.yml; CI smoke-loads it too.

The agent-facing create/resume factory that consumes load() is a
separate seam, deferred to a follow-up; this change stops at the load
primitive and does not reach into the loop.

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-jsonl
The JSONL durable session-persistence backend — a concrete `SessionPersistence` (the `dsh-session-persistence` seam). One append-only `.jsonl` event log per session plus a small atomic `.summary.json` sidecar for mutable metadata.
## On-disk layout
```
<root>/
cwd-<sha256(cwd)[:12]>/ # per-project bucket (or _no-cwd/ when no cwd)
<encoded-id>.jsonl # header line + one SessionEvent per line (verbatim)
<encoded-id>.summary.json # mutable SessionSummary (atomic temp-write + rename)
```
- The first `.jsonl` line is the immutable `SessionHeader` tagged `{ type: 'session', version, id, cwd?, createdAt, parentSession? }`; every subsequent line is one `SessionEvent` JSON, **verbatim including `assistant/chunk`** so `seq` stays contiguous (`events[i].seq === i`).
- Session ids are unvalidated branded strings, so they are percent-encoded to a single safe path segment before use (no traversal, no collision).
## Config
| Key | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `root` | `string` (required) | Root directory for all session files. **No default** — a `process.cwd()` default would scatter files as the process's cwd changes (bash calls, subprocesses). |
## Durability and crash semantics
- **Lazy materialization.** `create(meta)` writes nothing; the `.jsonl` (header + first batch) is written atomically (temp-write + `fsync` + rename) on the first `append`. A created-but-never-appended session leaves nothing on disk and is absent from `has`/`list`.
- **Append-only.** Committed events (at or below a flushed `turn/end`) are never rewritten. Subsequent appends are line appends at EOF + `fsync`.
- **Truncation-repair.** `load` returns events only up to the last complete `turn/end` and records the byte offset of any never-committed crash tail; the first post-load `append` `ftruncate`s to that offset (+ `fsync`) before writing, atomically discarding only the uncommitted tail.
- **Contiguous-seq.** `load` rejects a mid-log parse error or `seq` gap (unloadable); `append` rejects a batch whose first `seq` does not continue the stored log, and rejects non-JSON-serializable `event.data` naming the offending event type.
- **Format version.** Only v1 is supported; `load` rejects an unknown version. A future format change requires a version bump + migration.
## Write path
The plugin generalizes the example `session-jsonl.ts`: it subscribes to `session/created` (capture the header; persist a fork's seed once), `session/event` (snapshot each event when buffering — the live `session.events` object is mutable), and `session/flush`/dispose (drain the write-behind buffer through `append`). A per-session write cursor means a resumed session never re-appends already-stored events. Existing live sessions are seeded on plugin apply (HMR does not replay `session/created`). All backend operations for one session are serialized, and disposal awaits quiescence (every init + final drain) before returning, so no write lands after teardown.
