Tianyi Cui 815bac7de9 refactor(session): drop the dead mutable SessionSummary
SessionSummary (updatedAt/title/firstPrompt) and SessionPersistence.update()
were dead state: zero production callers of update(), no production reader of
updatedAt/firstPrompt, and ACP's title comes from a tool-call presenter, not
storage. The live Session.header was already typed SessionHeader, so the
summary only ever existed in the persistence layer, written and read by nothing
but its own contract test.

Delete it entirely (no SessionMeta alias — SessionMeta collapses to
SessionHeader everywhere). This removes the JSONL .summary.json sidecar
machinery, the SQLite title/first_prompt/updated_at columns and per-append
updated_at bump, and the update() method from the abstract service and both
backends. SQLite SCHEMA_VERSION goes 1->2 and openDatabase now rejects any
non-current user_version (older or newer) — no migration, unreleased software.

Net -400 lines, and it erases the JSONL-sidecar-vs-SQLite-column durability
divergence that the upcoming write coordinator would otherwise have to model.

Records the decision in docs/rfc/implemented/2026-06-19-drop-mutable-session-summary.md
and migrates the 2026-06-14 session-persistence RFC's facts to current truth.
Adds a standalone AGENTS.md section "Tests document behavior, not golden truth"
(a passing test pins current behavior, not necessarily correct behavior) with
the summary-drop as its worked example, and reinforces the no-migration
pre-release stance.

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-sqlite
A SQLite durable session-persistence backend — a second `SessionPersistence` implementation ([session persistence](../../docs/rfc/implemented/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md)), built to validate that the abstract seam and the shared `runPersistenceContract` suite are genuinely backend-agnostic. It satisfies the SAME contract as `dsh-session-persistence-jsonl` (append-only, contiguous-seq, lazy materialization, interrupted-turn close on load), expressed over `node:sqlite` rows instead of file bytes.
> **TODO:** this backend talks to `node:sqlite` directly. If a cordis database service (`cordis/db` / a `@cordisjs` SQL driver plugin) is adopted, route through that instead of holding a raw `DatabaseSync` here — the contract surface (`SessionPersistence`) would not change, only the storage driver.
## Storage model
Each `SessionEvent` maps 1:1 onto a row in an `events` table `(session_id, seq, type, time, data)``data` is the event payload as JSON text, so the row shape is the event verbatim (including `assistant/chunk`, keeping `seq` contiguous). Out-of-log metadata (`SessionHeader`) lives in a `sessions` row. A `sessions` row is written only by the first `append` — its existence is the lazy-materialization signal (`has`/`list` report exactly the sessions that have a row), so no separate column is needed.
The repo targets Node ≥ 24 (the root `engines` field), which includes the stable `node:sqlite` module. The database opens with `foreign_keys = ON` (so `ON DELETE CASCADE` drops a session's events with its row) and `journal_mode = WAL`. The table-layout version is stored in `PRAGMA user_version` and checked on open: a fresh database is stamped with the current `SCHEMA_VERSION`; a database written by any other, incompatible build (a non-current `user_version`, older or newer) is rejected rather than opened against an unknown layout — there is no migration (unreleased software).
## Contract semantics over rows
- **Append = a transaction.** `append` runs `BEGIN`/`COMMIT` around the batch: it materializes the `sessions` row (if still lazy) and INSERTs every event, asserting the contiguous-seq contract first (the first event's `seq` must equal the stored next-seq). A mid-batch failure (a UNIQUE violation on a duplicated seq) rolls back entirely, so the stored log and the in-memory cursor stay consistent. (`load()` already balanced the stored log, so `append` never has to repair a crash tail.)
- **Lazy materialization.** `create()` records intent in memory only — no row is written until the first `append`. A created-but-never-appended session has no `sessions` row, so it is absent from `has()`/`list()` (which report exactly the sessions that have a row).
- **Interrupted-turn close on load.** `load()` reads every stored event ordered by `seq` and finds the longest seq-contiguous, parseable prefix — INCLUDING the real events of an interrupted final turn after the last `turn/end` (the loop only flushes at `turn/end`, so a process killed mid-turn leaves real, fully-written rows past it). A single turn can be huge in a long-horizon task, so those events are **preserved, never truncated**: `load()` CLOSES the orphaned turn by durably appending the minimal synthetic boundary events (an error `tool/result` for every assistant tool call left unanswered, a `step/end` if a step was open, then a `turn/end` carrying `{ kind: 'interrupted' }`), inside one transaction that also DELETEs any never-fully-written torn tail row. `load()` is therefore mutating — after it the stored rows are balanced and the cursor is truthful, so the next `append` continues cleanly. The boundary (last `turn/end`, torn-tail detection) is computed from the `seq`/`type` columns so a malformed `data` in a torn tail row is never parsed (discarded, not unloadable). A parse error or `seq` gap inside the committed region (at or before the last real `turn/end`) makes the session unloadable. A session whose only turn never closed keeps its metadata row and stays present in `has()`/`list()` — the same as the JSONL backend, whose file likewise survives a first append that never reached `turn/end`.
## Configuration (schemastery)
```ts
interface Config {
path: string // SQLite database file path, or ':memory:' for an in-process DB
}
```
## Write path
Like the JSONL backend, the plugin also installs the `session/event` → buffer → `session/flush` drain: it snapshots each event when buffered (the live `session.events` object is mutable), persists a fork's seed once on `session/created`, keeps a per-session write cursor so a resumed session never re-appends stored events, and seeds existing live sessions on apply (HMR does not replay `session/created`). Dispose awaits every in-flight init + final drain and then closes the database, so no write lands after teardown.
