A crash can leave a durable log whose final turn never closed. The old
behavior truncated everything after the last turn/end as a "crash tail".
But a single turn can be HUGE in a long-horizon task (many steps, large
tool output), so truncating it silently destroys real, durably-written
work — truncating a turn is wrong.
New crash recovery (ADR 0018): load() PRESERVES the interrupted turn's
events and CLOSES the orphaned turn by durably appending synthetic
boundary events — a step/end if a step was open, then a turn/end carrying
the new merge-extensible TurnEndReason {kind:'interrupted'}. load()
returns the balanced log, so a resumed session is immediately usable. Only
a never-fully-written TORN tail fragment is discarded; corruption in the
committed region is still unloadable.
- dsh-session: TurnEndReason {kind:'interrupted'} + shared
interruptedTurnClosers() repair helper.
- JSONL backend: scanLog preserves the longest contiguous prefix
(including a partial final turn); loadCore truncates a torn fragment and
durably writes the closers, returning the balanced log.
- runPersistenceContract gains a crash-recovery test (both backends + mock).
- Docs: ADR 0018/0017, architecture.md, package READMEs.
Also (review #33): RFC 013 records the "move event vocabulary to Zod"
question (merge-extensible maps → runtime schema registry) + blast radius;
deferred, not done here.
Every session event now lives inside a turn (between turn/start and its
turn/end). The loop records queued user/message events AFTER turn/start;
an idle agent.inject() wraps its context/message in a one-shot injection
turn. This makes the turn the single durability/replay boundary so a
persistence backend can treat anything after the last turn/end as a
crash tail without dropping legitimate between-turn context.
A failure once the turn is already closed (rejecting session/flush, a
throwing agent/turn-end listener) has no in-turn position for a session
error event, so it is reported via agent/error + logger only; the turn
stays balanced. failTurn appends an error event only while the turn is
open.
The dsh-invariants plugin enforces turn-enclosure via a default case:
every non-boundary event type — including plugin-added merge-extensible
keys — must sit inside an open turn or it throws.
