 ## ApiProxy implementation notes
 
-Unary methods take the narrow `RpcRequest<P>` and echo `request.rpcId`; a prompt's rpcId rides `MessageSource` into the `user/message` event so clients can promote optimistic echoes. `history`/`prompt` on a cold session implicitly resume it, deduplicating concurrent calls through an in-flight table; `history` paginates backwards on message boundaries (never mid-message). The mux stream replays a `session/subscribed` baseline per attached session on open; the host stream carries session lifecycle, running flips, and `agent/error` as the only outlet for live failures with no turn position.

The mux stream replays a `session/subscribed` baseline per attached session and every still-pending question with its original rpcId. Question responses, including blank per-item answers, are validated against the owning session and exact request before an atomic first-wins claim; answer, whole-request cancellation, owner abort, and provider disposal broadcast `question/resolved`.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
-- **`respond` is a stub** — it always returns `not-pending`; the approval/question pending registry (stable-rpcId mint on accept, baseline replay on stream reopen, wire answerer) is the next host-side step.
-- **`session.list` covers live sessions only** — cold sessions in the persistence directory are not yet merged into the listing; `host.describe.version` is a placeholder rather than the `apps/cli` package version.
+- **Question waits are process-memory state** — browser reconnects recover them, but a host process restart aborts the owning tool call instead of restoring the wait from persistence.
+- **`host.describe.version` is a placeholder** — it does not yet read the `apps/cli` package version.
 - **The assembly is fixed** — per-deployment plugin selection (user profile, log sinks, alternative persistence) has a documented home here but no configuration surface yet.
