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.
Boot the glob sampling scenario from a standalone ACP composition that exposes only bash, glob, and grep. Regenerate the smaller header fixtures and trim implementation narration already owned by the Agent Note.
Remove the duplicate model-facing list tool from this branch; directory orientation remains available through bash ls. Keep the glob sampling fix, add a real ACP composition snapshot, and narrow the decision record to the shipped bug fix.
Master had advanced 392 commits. Every conflict was a derived artifact both
sides had regenerated — `docs/tool-catalog.md`, four recorded headless
session logs, and one TUI terminal expectation — so each was resolved by
taking master's version and re-running the generator and the keyless
snapshot refresh on the merged tree. No source file conflicted.
The new `examples/jsonrpc-agent` fixtures keep master's scrubbed
`{{system}}` / `{{tools}}` headers: that suite scrubs request headers, so a
new tool changes nothing there and the refresh output was discarded.
The review made every name a JSON string with `<`, `>`, and `&` escaped. The
hazards behind that are real and each is now covered: a control character
splits one entry across lines, `</` closes the envelope, and a regular file
named `x@` reads as a socket named `x` under the non-regular marker.
Quote those, and only those. `list` is the tool an agent reaches for first
and its output sits in every transcript, so `"archive"/` on every ordinary
line is a permanent cost for a case that almost never occurs. A name is now
emitted verbatim unless it matches a control character, a leading quote, a
backslash, `</`, or a trailing `@`, and is otherwise a JSON string with `</`
neutralized — the delimiter treatment `dsh-workspace-context` already applies
to instruction text, extended to an interpolated path as its
`instruction-frame-paths` TODO asks.
