# @deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-jsonl
|

|

The JSONL durable session-persistence backend — a concrete `SessionPersistence` (the `dsh-session-persistence` seam). One append-only `.jsonl` event log per session.
|
||||
The JSONL durable session-persistence backend — a concrete `SessionPersistence` (the `dsh-session-persistence` seam). Each session has one append-only logical JSONL log, stored as `.jsonl.zstd` by default or raw `.jsonl` when compression is disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
## On-disk layout
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<root>/
|
||||
cwd-<sha256(cwd)[:12]>/ # per-project bucket (or _no-cwd/ when no cwd)
|
||||
<encoded-id>.jsonl # header line + one SessionEvent per line (verbatim)
|
||||
<encoded-id>.jsonl.zstd # default: checksummed header frame + append frames
|
||||
<encoded-id>.jsonl # only with compression: 'none'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- The first `.jsonl` line is the immutable `SessionHeader` tagged `{ type: 'session', version, id, cwd?, createdAt, parentSession?, seedLength? }`; every subsequent line is one `SessionEvent` JSON, **verbatim including `assistant/chunk`** so `seq` stays contiguous (`events[i].seq === i`).
|
||||
- Session ids are unvalidated branded strings, so they are percent-encoded to a single safe path segment before use (no traversal, no collision).
|
||||
- The first logical line is the immutable `SessionHeader` tagged `{ type: 'session', version, id, cwd?, createdAt, parentSession?, seedLength?, delegationDepth }`. `delegationDepth` is required on disk and is `0` for a top-level session; a missing or invalid value rejects the log. Every subsequent line is one `SessionEvent` JSON, **verbatim including `assistant/chunk`** so `seq` stays contiguous (`events[i].seq === i`).
|
||||
- Session ids are unvalidated branded strings, so they are injectively escaped to a single safe path segment before use (no traversal, no collision).
|
||||
|
||||
## Config
|
||||
|
||||
| Key | Type | Notes |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `root` | `string` (required) | Root directory for all session files. **No default** — a `process.cwd()` default would scatter files as the process's cwd changes (bash calls, subprocesses). |
|
||||
| `compression` | `'zstd' \| 'none'` | Defaults to `'zstd'`; `'none'` retains newline-delimited UTF-8 text. |
|
||||
|
||||
`locate(meta)` returns `{ kind: 'jsonl', path }` using the resolved absolute root and the same cwd-bucket/id encoding as materialization. It performs no filesystem I/O: the target can be returned before the file exists, and an existing file contains only the last flushed prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
## Physical encoding
|
||||
|
||||
The default artifact is a standard concatenation of independent [Zstandard frames](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-19-zstandard-jsonl-session-logs.md): one checksummed frame containing only the header line, followed by one checksummed frame per durable append batch. The backend uses Node's built-in Zstandard API with its default compression level and exposes no level knob. Listing reads and validates only the header frame. `compression: 'none'` keeps the same logical lines in the original raw representation.
|
||||
|
||||
A root belongs to one encoding. Startup discovery and targeted lookup reject the opposite suffix with an error naming the incompatible artifact and instructing the caller to select the matching mode or a separate root. There is no migration, mixed-root fallback, or dual write.
|
||||
|
||||
## Durability and crash semantics
|
||||
|
||||
- **Lazy materialization.** `create(meta)` writes nothing; the `.jsonl` (header + first batch) is written atomically on the first `append`: POSIX uses temp-write + file `fsync` + `link` + parent-directory `fsync`; Windows uses temp-write + file `fsync` + `MoveFileExW(..., MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH)` and creates missing directories through the same write-through publish pattern. A created-but-never-appended session leaves nothing on disk and is absent from `list`.
|
||||
- **Append-only.** Committed events (at or below a flushed `turn/end`) are never rewritten. Subsequent appends are line appends at EOF + `fsync`.
|
||||
- **Crash recovery — preserve valid tail work.** `load` keeps the contiguous valid prefix of an interrupted final turn. It truncates from the first unparsable or sequence-gapped uncommitted record, then appends the synthetic tool, step, and turn closers required by the shared [persistence contract](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md); the same defect at or before the last committed `turn/end` rejects.
|
||||
- **Lazy materialization.** `create(meta)` writes nothing; on the first `append`, the backend writes and `fsync`s the encoded header and first batch in a temporary file. POSIX publishes it without overwrite via a hard link and `fsync`s the parent directory. Windows publishes it without overwrite via `MoveFileExW(..., MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH)` and creates missing directories through the same write-through pattern. A created-but-never-appended session leaves nothing on disk and is absent from `list`.
|
||||
- **Append-only.** Committed events (at or below a flushed `turn/end`) are never rewritten. Subsequent raw batches append lines; compressed batches append one frame. Both paths `fsync`, and a caught write or sync failure rolls the file back to its prior byte length.
|
||||
- **Crash recovery — preserve valid tail work.** `load` validates every complete compressed frame and scans their decompressed JSONL. If the last frame is structurally incomplete, the reader keeps its complete decoded records, truncates from that frame's start, and re-encodes those records with the synthetic tool, step, and turn closers required by the shared [persistence contract](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md). Raw mode truncates from its first incomplete line. A checksum/decompression failure in a complete frame, or a defect at or before the last committed `turn/end`, is corruption and rejects.
|
||||
- **Contiguous-seq.** `append` rejects a batch whose first `seq` does not continue the stored log, and rejects non-JSON-serializable `event.data` naming the offending event type.

## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
|
||||
|
||||
- **Only the current `SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` (v0) loads** — the on-disk format is pre-release/unstable: a breaking format change is absorbed at v0 and non-current logs are rejected; there is no migration.
|
||||
- **Only the configured encoding and current `SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` (v0) load** — changing compression requires a separate/fresh root or selecting the legacy raw mode; the pre-release format has no migration.
|
||||
- **Compressed files are not directly line-readable** — use the backend to load them, or select `compression: 'none'` before writing a fresh root when text fixtures or external line readers are required.
|
||||
- **Nothing deletes session files** — logs accumulate under `root` until removed externally (the seam has no deletion surface).
|
||||
- **Single-process assumption** — per-session serialization and the write cursor live in this process; two processes appending to the same `root` are not coordinated.
|
||||
- **POSIX materialization requires hard-link support** — its first append uses `link()` so same-id races fail instead of overwriting a committed log; Windows uses write-through rename without replacement.
