`session.create` takes an optional `agentPreset`, and the host resolves it,
mounts it during pre-publication setup, and records the resolved id on the
session header so a later resume rebuilds the same agent.
Resolution happens BEFORE the session exists, not inside setup: the session
boundary snapshots `meta` before asynchronous setup begins, so an id discovered
during setup could never reach the header. Mounting still happens in setup,
where a failure rolls the whole creation back rather than publishing a session
whose capabilities are half-installed.
Resume ignores whatever the request names and rebuilds from the stored id. A
resumed session's history was produced under that composition; restoring a
different one would replay tool calls the model can no longer make.
`dsh-agent-presets` now throws `UnknownPresetError` / `PresetMountError` so
the host can tell a bad request from a broken preset — they become
`agent-preset-not-found` and `agent-preset-invalid`.
Ships the two built-in compositions (`standard`, `core-web`) and the persona
row that lets them differ in identity. Nothing mounts them yet: no roster is
configured, so `composeAgent` finds no service and every session keeps the host
composition. Wiring the roster and moving base's agent-plane rows behind it is
the next commit, so the switch happens atomically with a real-composition test.
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same synchronous delegation boundary, but append the events during the child factory setup while the session is still unpublished.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Add regression coverage for exporting an unpublished suffix without re-exporting constructor history, assert the spawn and fork firstLiveSeq boundaries, and restore the public seed documentation to replay/fork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 simplified inheritance path uses Session creation seeds for policy events, and the public CreateSessionOptions JSDoc now names that supported role. The type-equivalent persistence catalog still described seeds as replay/fork-only, so doc-sync correctly rejected the mismatch.
Align the explanatory paragraph and exact type-equivalent block in both languages, then re-record the bilingual pair. This keeps the public catalog from understating the constructor seam that makes the simplification possible.
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.
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.
The shared coordinator serializes operations within one backend instance; it does not coordinate multiple instances writing the same on-disk session. Remove prose that implied unsupported shared-writer semantics.
Also update the older seam-simplification note to describe the surviving loadStored existence probe instead of the removed loadLive hook, so implemented documentation matches the current contract.
A subagent child's recursion depth lived only in runtime AgentOptions,
so a persisted child came back from resume counted as top-level and
maxDepth stopped binding after every restart. Add
SessionHeader.delegationDepth, round-trip it through the JSONL and
SQLite backends (SQLite schema v5), restore it on agent-loop resume,
and write it when the in-process backends create a child. The seam now
owns the shared depth vocabulary (delegationDepthOf): the persisted
header is authoritative and monotone — runtime options may deepen it
but never lower it.
