feat(session): refuse session logs a build cannot faithfully read
Old runtimes meeting a newer session format now fail loud instead of misreading: version refusal names the direction (newer: upgrade the harness; older: no upgrade path) and points at the raw JSONL log, and an event type outside the generated known vocabulary refuses resume unless its envelope carries the new ignorable: true marker (default: required, so a forgotten marker over-refuses instead of silently resuming a gutted session). gen-persistence-catalog now also emits KNOWN_SESSION_EVENT_TYPES; SQLite stores the marker in a dedicated column (SCHEMA_VERSION 15). The versioning design (monotonic integer, n->n+1 upgrader chain, migrate-on-continue) is recorded in the session-log-version-mechanism Agent Note.

## Format refusal — logs a build cannot faithfully read
|
||||
|
||||
A backend refuses a log it cannot faithfully interpret with `SessionFormatUnsupportedError`, distinct from `SessionPersistenceCorruptionError` because nothing is damaged. A header `version` ahead of `SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` names the direction ("written by a newer harness — upgrade the harness to open it"); one behind it states that this build ships no upgrade path. After legacy-shape normalization, an event type outside this build's generated vocabulary (`KNOWN_SESSION_EVENT_TYPES`, emitted by `gen-persistence-catalog`) refuses the same way unless the event's envelope carries `ignorable: true` — silently skipping an unrecognized required event could change how the rest of the log must be read. The message appends the raw log path when the backend keeps one artifact per session, so the refused text stays reachable. Design rationale and the deferred upgrader chain live in the [session-log-version-mechanism note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-08-10-session-log-version-mechanism.md).

## `CreateSessionOptions` — seeding and metadata
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a `Session` through the store takes a `seed` (initial replay or fork history) and `meta` (the storage-level fields the store folds into a `SessionHeader`). The store fills in `version`/`id` and defaults `createdAt`; the caller may supply the validated absolute `cwd`, the `parentSession` lineage, the `seedLength` seed boundary, the optional coarse `origin`, the `delegationDepth`, the `agentPreset` the agent was composed from, and an existing `createdAt`. `origin: 'subagent'` lets product navigation hide duplicate child rows; it does not prove that a descriptor is valid or that the child can resume.
