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same synchronous delegation boundary, but append the events during the child factory setup while the session is still unpublished.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Add regression coverage for exporting an unpublished suffix without re-exporting constructor history, assert the spawn and fork firstLiveSeq boundaries, and restore the public seed documentation to replay/fork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.
Resolutions: regenerate the conflicted generated docs (cordis services
catalog, event-producer-consumer, module-graph); take master's
packages/README pair and re-insert the telemetry row on both sides;
re-record the README and session-doc translation pairs.
A cursor-less adoption (process restart + resume, fork, seam-module
reload) replayed the session's full log from seq 0, re-exporting
history that already left the process — a resume re-billed its entire
stored log on every restart, and a fork re-shipped the parent's prefix
under the child's id, doubling query-time counts on OTLP backends with
no native ingest dedupe.
dsh-session now exposes the fact the constructor already validated but
discarded: Session.firstLiveSeq, the constructor-seed length — the
first seq appended in this process. header.seedLength cannot serve
here: it is the durable fork-lineage boundary, and a resumed session's
constructor seed is its full stored log while the header keeps the
original fork value (llm-replay and session-query-sqlite depend on
that meaning). Constructor seeds also never publish on the
session/event firehose, so adoption replaying them was inconsistent
with the system's own publication semantics.
Adoption's cursor-less fallback starts at firstLiveSeq; seed events
still feed the chunk projection, so mid-step continuations re-drop
after a resume. Fork streams are no longer self-contained: records now
carry session.seed_length (with the existing session.parent_id) so
receivers stitch the child's stream onto the parent's. Accepted cost,
consistent with at-most-once delivery and recorded in the revival
Agent Note: a resume no longer backfills records a previous process
failed to deliver — a deployment with that requirement needs the
deferred outbox, not replay.
Pinned red-first: seeded adoption exports nothing (assertion reversed
from the prior seed-readback test, obsolete behavior changed with its
test), resume-shaped seed rebuilds the projection without exporting,
and fork records carry the stitch attributes.
