refactor(session-persistence): extract a shared write coordinator
The JSONL and SQLite backends were byte-identical (or same-algorithm) for ALL of their write-path orchestration — the four maps (states/buffers/chains/inits), installWritePath, initFor, onCreated's four adoption cases, flush, drain, serialize, adopt/adoptLivePrefix, assertVersion, and the create/append/load/ has/delete skeletons. Only the storage primitives (write bytes vs INSERT rows) differed, so every fix landed twice. Extract that orchestration into a PersistenceCoordinator in the seam package. Each backend composes one (new PersistenceCoordinator(ctx, this)), implements a small PersistenceBackend hook interface (loadStored, loadLive, appendBatch, commitRepair, deleteStored, list, optional close), and delegates its six public service methods to it. Composition, not inheritance — a backend exposes only the hooks, can't reach the coordinator's private state, and the public SessionPersistence API is unchanged so a third-party backend may still implement it directly. The crash-repair torn-tail token is OPAQUE: the coordinator computes the synthetic closers (it owns interruptedTurnClosers) but only tests `tornMarker !== undefined` and round-trips it to commitRepair, never inspecting it (JSONL = byte offset, SQLite = seq). loadStored vs loadLive stay distinct so HMR adoption is cwd-scoped (a same-id log at a different cwd is a collision, not a resume). appendBatch carries meta so lazy-materialize + first-batch commit atomically (no separate materialize hook). Tests: the duplicated orchestration tests (adoption, HMR, collision, dispose-drain, crash-tail) move into one runCoordinatorContract suite run once per backend (memory + jsonl + sqlite) via hook fixtures; per-backend specs keep only storage mechanics. A through-coordinator torn-tail test per real backend keeps the commitRepair-with-marker branch covered under the 100% gate. Net -112 lines (the dedup outweighs the new coordinator + shared suite); 100% coverage; backends shrank ~1200 lines of duplicated churn. Migrates the write-coordinator RFC proposed -> implemented.

## The write coordinator
|
||||
|
||||
The two first-party backends were byte-identical (or same-algorithm) for ALL of their write-path orchestration — the in-memory bookkeeping (per-id state, write-behind buffers, per-id serialization chains, per-session init promises), the `session/event` → buffer → `session/flush` drain, lazy materialization, crash-tail repair on load, the four `session/created` adoption cases (new / HMR-adopt / collision / ownerless-claim), and dispose-time quiescence. Only the STORAGE primitives differed (write bytes vs. INSERT rows).
|
||||
|
||||
`PersistenceCoordinator` owns that orchestration once. A first-party backend composes one (`new PersistenceCoordinator(ctx, this)`), implements the small `PersistenceBackend` hook interface, and delegates its six public service methods to the coordinator. This keeps the duplicated, correctness-heavy orchestration in a single place (it used to receive the same fixes twice).
|
||||
|
||||
The `PersistenceBackend<TornMarker>` hooks (the only seam between the coordinator and storage):
|
||||
|
||||
| Hook | Role |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `name` | Backend label for the dispose-failure `AggregateError`. |
|
||||
| `loadStored(id)` | Read a stored prefix by id, scanning ANY storage scope. Used by resume/load and, via `!== undefined`, the create-collision probe. Returns an opaque `tornMarker` iff a torn tail must be truncated. |
|
||||
| `loadLive(id, cwd)` | Read a stored prefix SCOPED to `cwd` (HMR live-adoption must only adopt a log at the SAME cwd; a same-id log elsewhere is a collision, not a resume). A globally-unique-id backend ignores `cwd`. |
|
||||
| `appendBatch(meta, events, isMaterialized)` | Durably append a contiguous batch, lazily materializing ATOMICALLY when not yet materialized. |
|
||||
| `commitRepair(meta, tornMarker, closers)` | Make a crash repair durable: truncate the torn tail (iff `tornMarker`) and append `closers`. NOT required to be atomic. Used by load (truncate + closers) and live-adoption (truncate only). |
|
||||
| `deleteStored(id)` / `list()` | Remove a stored artifact / list all stored metadata. |
|
||||
| `close?()` | Optional lifecycle teardown (e.g. close a db handle), awaited after the dispose drain. |
|
||||
|
||||
The `tornMarker` is fully OPAQUE: the coordinator only tests `!== undefined` and round-trips it to `commitRepair`, never inspecting its value (the JSONL backend uses the byte offset to truncate to, the SQLite backend the seq to delete from). The public `SessionPersistence` service shape is unchanged, so a third-party backend MAY still implement the abstract service directly without the coordinator. See [the write-coordinator RFC](../../docs/rfc/implemented/2026-06-18-shared-persistence-write-coordinator.md).

## Testing backends
|
||||
|
||||
Import `runPersistenceContract` from `tests/contract.ts` and call it with a factory that yields a fresh, empty backend plus a teardown. Every backend is held to the same append-only / contiguous-seq / lazy-materialization / serializability semantics; a backend's own spec adds implementation-specific tests (crash repair, path sanitization) on top.
|
||||
Import `runPersistenceContract` from `tests/contract.ts` (the public-API contract) and `runCoordinatorContract` from `tests/coordinator-contract.ts` (the shared write-path orchestration: adoption, HMR, collision, dispose-drain, crash-tail repair) and call each with a fixture for your backend. Every backend is held to the same append-only / contiguous-seq / lazy-materialization / serializability semantics AND the same orchestration, so a backend's own spec is left with only storage-mechanics tests (path sanitization, fsync rollback; schema version, transaction rollback) on top.
|
||||
|
||||
Two backends run this suite: `dsh-session-persistence-jsonl` (append-only file log) and `dsh-session-persistence-sqlite` (`node:sqlite`, each `SessionEvent` one row `(session_id, seq, type, time, data)`). Both passing the same contract is the proof that the seam is genuinely backend-agnostic — lazy materialization, crash-tail-on-load, and contiguous-seq hold identically over file bytes and over a transactional store.
|
||||
Three backends run these suites: an in-memory reference (in `tests/`), `dsh-session-persistence-jsonl` (append-only file log) and `dsh-session-persistence-sqlite` (`node:sqlite`, each `SessionEvent` one row `(session_id, seq, type, time, data)`). All passing the same contract + coordinator suite is the proof that the seam is genuinely backend-agnostic — lazy materialization, crash-tail-on-load, and contiguous-seq hold identically over file bytes and over a transactional store.
