-Client cordis boot and React-free object services: SlotsService wraps SlotCore and supplies renderer data sources; SessionsService owns Session objects and the Chat-facing list, scope, and event-window state; SessionHistoryService lazily owns independent raw-history ledgers for inspection consumers; WorkspacesService depends on SessionsService and owns Workspace objects, list/actions, default-target derivation, and the New Session blank-reuse entry (`connectWorkspace`). The runtime fans the shared Host stream into the Session, Workspace, and activated history owners without routing inspection state through Session or SessionManager, and bridges the registry-invalidation frames to typed ctx events (`commands/changed`, `settings/changed`, `credentials/changed`, `models/changed`) so surface caches refetch without touching the stream. Client sessions are always Host-born (Session+Agent+cwd in one `session.create`); the client holds no pre-entity session state — a session's Agent scope (the client mirror of host dsh-scope, keyed by the shared agent/session id) is born when its row enters the list mirror and dies with the prune. Contract: api-contracts v3 §4. Each `Session` holds a generic `ProjectionValueStore` seeded from the history-tail `projections` block and updated by `session/projection` frames under higher-seq-wins; domain keys (including `todos`) are read via `projections.faceOf` / `useProjection`, not via `ConversationSnapshot`. The store also publishes one reference-stable whole-value map through `SessionSummary.projectionValues`, allowing global list consumers to reuse the same projections without creating per-session subscriptions.
+Client cordis boot and React-free object services: SlotsService wraps SlotCore and supplies renderer data sources; SessionsService owns Session objects and the Chat-facing list, scope, and event-window state; SessionHistoryService lazily owns independent raw-history ledgers for inspection consumers, loading the current tail first and prepending one older page only when its consumer requests it. Each history snapshot exposes the raw window's absolute base sequence so a consumer detects a prepend even when the page adds no surface-visible node.

-Trajectory renders a turn-aware event ledger with selectable User, Assistant, Tool, and nested Subtool records. Thick rules mark Turn boundaries, compact inline markers identify Steps, and the main ledger keeps only index, event, and content; selection opens a local inspector for token usage, duration, Input, Output, and Timing. A standalone compaction request appears chronologically in its own `Between turns` section, while a numbered compaction remains inside its owning turn. A fixed Overview above the ledger projects real record start/duration timing from left to right; Assistant spans divide recorded TTFT from decoding, and a 500 ms hover reveals exact clock and duration details. Dragging an interval focuses the ledger on every record active at any point in that inclusive range, while clearing the selection restores the full branch. Wheel gestures zoom the time domain. A right-button click clears the selected interval, while a right-button drag pans an already zoomed viewport without changing it. Streaming updates keep the ledger pinned only when it was already at the bottom, so reading earlier records suspends tail following. Trajectory asks the conversation shell to float the composer over the full-height ledger, while its responsive vertical scrollers reserve the composer's live height so final rows remain reachable. The runtime's independent history source supplies raw context lineage and projects cancellation-frozen Assistant and Tool records, so Trajectory neither reads nor changes the Chat conversation snapshot. The package remains a pure-consumer plugin (registers one view tab into the conversation's `'conversation.view'` slot ring, provides no service, declares no Context merge).

+Trajectory renders a turn-aware event ledger with selectable User, Assistant, Tool, and nested Subtool records. Thick rules mark Turn boundaries, compact inline markers identify Steps, and the main ledger keeps only index, event, and content; selection opens a local inspector for token usage, duration, Input, Output, and Timing. Scrollable Summary regions keep their scrollbar thumbs transparent until the region is hovered or contains keyboard focus, without changing the reserved scroll geometry. A standalone compaction request appears chronologically in its own `Between turns` section, while a numbered compaction remains inside its owning turn. Long ledgers open at the current tail, load one older page when the user reaches the loaded range's top, and mount only the visible row window plus a small overscan; request-only separators share the next measurable virtual item, while semantic row keys and ARIA indexes survive prepends. Selection, timeline navigation, folding, search, and Request totals cover the currently loaded window. The ledger covers records with an explicit loading row until the initial tail is positioned and while an older page is pending. A fixed Overview above the ledger projects real record start/duration timing from left to right; when earlier records remain unloaded and the viewport includes the loaded domain's start, a neutral ellipsis control identifies the omitted prefix and loads one earlier page without assigning unknown history fabricated duration. Assistant spans divide recorded TTFT from decoding, and a 500 ms hover reveals exact clock and duration details. Dragging an interval focuses the ledger on every record active at any point in that inclusive range, while clearing the selection restores the full branch. Wheel gestures zoom the time domain. A right-button click clears the selected interval, while a right-button drag pans an already zoomed viewport without changing it. The initial view and streaming updates stay at the tail; scrolling upward suspends following so new records do not interrupt inspection of earlier rows. Content-only stream frames preserve virtual row keys and heights, reuse measurements, and do not issue repeated tail-scroll writes. Completed replies retain only the first visible token and usage chunks in the inspection projection, while unfinished and interrupted replies retain every chunk; the independent source keeps the raw history unchanged. Trajectory asks the conversation shell to float the composer over the full-height ledger, while its responsive vertical scrollers reserve the composer's live height so final rows remain reachable. The runtime's independent history source supplies raw context lineage and projects cancellation-frozen Assistant and Tool records, so Trajectory neither reads nor changes the Chat conversation snapshot.
