The plugin generalizes the example `session-jsonl.ts`: it subscribes to `session/created` (capture the header; persist a fork's seed once), `session/event` (snapshot each event when buffering — the live `session.events` object is mutable), and `session/flush`/dispose (drain the write-behind buffer through `append`). A per-session write cursor means a resumed session never re-appends already-stored events. Existing live sessions are seeded on plugin apply (HMR does not replay `session/created`). All backend operations for one session are serialized, and disposal awaits quiescence (every init + final drain) before returning, so no write lands after teardown.

## Storage model
|
||||
|
||||
Each `SessionEvent` maps 1:1 onto a row in an `events` table `(session_id, seq, type, time, data, source_event_seqs, surface_op)` — `data` is the event payload as JSON text, so the row shape is the event verbatim (including `assistant/chunk`, keeping `seq` contiguous). The two `TEXT` columns `source_event_seqs` and `surface_op` are nullable; they store the event's optional surface-metadata fields (see [session surface](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-18-session-surface.md)). Out-of-log metadata (`SessionHeader`) lives in a `sessions` row. A `sessions` row is written only by the first `append` — its existence is the lazy-materialization signal (`list` reports exactly the sessions that have a row), so no separate column is needed.

Like the JSONL backend, the plugin also installs the `session/event` → buffer → `session/flush` drain: it snapshots each event when buffered (the live `session.events` object is mutable), persists a fork's seed once on `session/created`, keeps a per-session write cursor so a resumed session never re-appends stored events, and seeds existing live sessions on apply (HMR does not replay `session/created`). Dispose awaits every in-flight init + final drain and then closes the database, so no write lands after teardown.

The persisted unit IS the existing `SessionEvent` (event-sourced model — the log is the single source of truth), so there is no parallel "persisted message" type. Metadata that is NOT replayable conversation state (format version, cwd, lineage, seed boundary) travels separately as `SessionHeader`, owned by `dsh-session` and re-exported here.
