The **durability seam** for the event log. [session.md](session.md) describes the in-memory `Session` — the append-only `SessionEvent` log that is the source of truth. This page describes how that log is made durable: the abstract `SessionPersistence` service, its backends, the flush checkpoint, crash recovery, and the metadata header that travels alongside the log. The event vocabulary the log carries is enumerated, member by member, in the generated [persistence log event catalog](../persistence-catalog.md).
|
||||
|
||||
The seam is a textbook [capability seam](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md): one abstract service ([dsh-session-persistence](../../packages/session-persistence/session-persistence), `ctx.sessionPersistence`) defining create/append/load/list over the existing `SessionEvent` — **no parallel persisted type** — and two interchangeable backends that pass the same `runPersistenceContract` suite. See the [session-persistence RFC](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md).

## The flush checkpoint
|
||||
|
||||
`session/event` is a *synchronous* notification; persistence plugins buffer it (write-behind) and drain at the awaited `session/flush` checkpoint the loop fires at every turn end. Flush is `ctx.parallel` (awaited): a turn's events are durably committed before the next turn starts, and the turn boundary is the commit boundary. A rejecting flush is reported via `agent/error` and the logger — never as a session event (it would land past the commit boundary), so the backend keeps its buffered events for the next flush.
|
||||
`session/event` is a *synchronous* notification; persistence plugins buffer it (write-behind) until `session/flush`. The loop awaits an ordinary turn's checkpoint before claiming the next queue item; synchronous idle `inject()` schedules its checkpoint without blocking `send()`, and disposal still drains it. A successful flush durably commits the closed turn as one unit; a rejecting flush is reported through `agent/error` and the logger — never as a session event past the closed turn — while the backend keeps its buffered events for the next flush.
|
||||
|
||||
## Crash recovery preserves an interrupted turn
|
||||
|
||||
A backend that reloads a log crashed mid-turn finds an open `turn/start` with no `turn/end`. It does **not** truncate — a single turn can be huge in a long-horizon task (many steps, large tool output), and those events were durably appended before the crash. Instead it closes the orphaned turn with a synthetic `turn/end { reason: { kind: 'interrupted' } }`, keeping the log balanced and the turn-enclosure invariant intact. `interrupted` is the one `TurnEndReason` no loop emits (see [session.md](session.md#why-a-turn-ended-turnendreasonmap)).
|
||||
|
||||
## `SessionLocation` — optional per-session artifact target
|
||||
|
||||
`SessionPersistence.locate(meta)` synchronously resolves a backend-owned independent artifact without reading, creating, or flushing it. JSONL returns its absolute target path; SQLite returns `undefined` because sessions share one database. A returned path can therefore name a file that does not yet exist or lacks the current unflushed turn; it is a location hint, not authorization or a freshness guarantee.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts type-equiv
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* A backend-resolved, per-session local artifact location. The path is an
|
||||
* absolute target path and can name an artifact that has not materialized yet.

||||
* Consumers must treat it as a location hint, never as an authorization token.

## `SessionHeader` — metadata beside the log
|
||||
|
||||
Per-session metadata travels **separately** from the event log: format version, cwd, lineage, and the seed boundary are storage concerns, not conversation events, so they stay out of `SessionEventMap` and never reach `deriveMessages()`. The header is attached to a `Session` via `session.header`.

## `CreateSessionOptions` — seeding and metadata

Creating a `Session` through the store takes a `seed` (replay/fork an existing event log) and `meta` (the storage-level fields the store folds into a `SessionHeader`). The store fills in `version`/`id` and defaults `createdAt`; the caller supplies the validated absolute `cwd`, the `parentSession` lineage, the `seedLength` seed boundary, and — only when reconstructing a persisted session — the original `createdAt` to preserve it.
