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.
The seat's height publisher needs a ResizeObserver stub in every spec that
renders ConversationRoot (jsdom has none), and the two branch-tail StatsLine
assertions move to the grouped detail-row output.
