Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into jsonl-packed-chunk-rows

Conflicts: the two generated catalog docs (regenerated over merged sources)
and the jsonl backend README storage-layout bullets — master's required
delegationDepth header field weaves with this branch's storage-record/packed
row wording.

-- `ctx.sessions.create(id?, { seed?, meta? }?)` validates and detaches durable seed/header data, fills the version and id, defaults `createdAt` to now, publishes the session, and binds it to the calling fiber. Persisted reconstruction supplies its original `createdAt` and `seedLength`.

Persisted reconstruction supplies its original `createdAt`, `seedLength`, and `delegationDepth`.
 - `ctx.sessions.flush(session)` dispatches the awaited parallel durability checkpoint through the session's captured scope. Every listener starts and the call waits for all to settle before reporting failure; unpublished, detached, and stale objects reject.
 - `ctx.sessions.fork(source, boundary?, childSessionId?): Session` — Resolve a live session object or id, select a seed through the inclusive `boundary` event seq (default: current last event), require that boundary to be `turn/end`, and create a live child session with lineage metadata.

 ### Metadata types (`types.ts`)
 
-- `SessionHeader` — session metadata written once when published as `Session.header`, where detachment and deep-freezing enforce immutability at runtime: `{ version, id, createdAt, cwd?, parentSession?, seedLength? }`. Persistence loaders may return mutable detached copies of the same data type. Owned here (beside `SessionId`) because `Session.header` is typed by it; persistence backends re-export it rather than own it (which would force a package cycle).
