Give durable user context its producer-owned source kind instead of a generic plugin wrapper. The V3-to-V4 conversion preserves the frozen rename and collision rules, all own JSON metadata, event coordinates, and historical request-only kinds. Native catalog and JSONL admission retain source validation so unknown attribution can survive without its producer while malformed owned sources are refused.
Use an explicit user-only RequestUserInput for auxiliary LLM prompts that do not own durable message identity. Auto Review and compaction remove their request-only source registrations while retaining prompt content and freezing; provider serializers and projections keep the same wire data, assistant replay isolation, image ordering, and tool correlation. Session writes, Agent delivery, and recorded title requests continue to require identified durable messages.
Bind the saved compatibility policy only to user sources and qualify tmux location attribution without weakening fixed system, model, or tool semantics. Rebuild the current inventory and unpublished V4 acknowledgement on the actual tool-role parent, preserving its rationale and all accepted historical records. The catalog format version records tooling metadata; Session remains V4. Developer-role policy and activation belong to their own feature.
The latest-master Messages adapter, serialization, request-input typing, EpochHeader reservation, and attribution checks pass 103 tests across five files. The retained V3 Messages input-history snapshot passes through the source profile; Host/Client typechecks and all 41 documentation gates pass. The generated comparison records four changed roots and 447 unchanged type fingerprints. Latest-master ARIA changes are retained, with producer source labels applied independently; new Messages fixtures retain their producer names as declared source kinds and use the fixed system-message helper; recorded Session generations are unchanged by this regrouping.

The meter regression deliberately rewrites the system node during request-error recovery. After the retry reconciliation fix, the next request must restore the captured admitted prompt rather than trust that temporary replacement. Keep the replacement stimulus and zero-delta metering assertions, but compare the retried prompt with the initial request so the two independently corrected components are tested together.
Validation: the combined regression run exposed this obsolete retry-text expectation while 945 other cases passed; all eight compaction-loop-repro cases pass with the admitted-prompt assertion.
The loop appends step/start before system/message and the entered user
messages. Capturing nodes at step/start therefore omits inputs already
included in the provider's successful usage, then adds those inputs back
as a positive surface delta. Prompt replacement can also incorrectly add
or subtract the difference from the prior prompt on a completed call.
Snapshot the current priced surface immediately before assistant/message
commits. Keep provider output separate from the durable assistant node so
listener rewrites retain their signed delta. The invariant is zero delta
immediately after an unchanged successful output: provider usage already
includes every admitted prompt input. Later appends/replacements still
produce signed deltas, and low or absent usage keeps heuristic fallback.
Delete stepStart.nodes rather than adding prompt-specific corrections or
another request snapshot: the existing transactional surface fold already
contains the successful request inputs, including replacements made during
same-step retry recovery. Keep turn/step state and all overlap, mismatch,
and late-assistant lifecycle validation. Retry attempts are log-only and
request middleware changes configuration; injected messages remain queued
until admission. No loop, event format, projection, or retry policy changes.
Exercise the real loop with reported usage and initial, growing, shrinking,
and empty prompts; same-step failed attempt plus retry prompt replacement;
request middleware; eager observation and fresh seeded replay. The two
regressions fail before the fix with spurious deltas of +48 and +18 tokens.
Retain existing durable-output rewrite, route repricing, missing/low usage,
transactional failure, and lifecycle tests. Update README EN/ZH and the
existing system-prompt surface-node Agent Note, including pairing records.

Baseline normalize.ts comment conflict marker is intentionally untouched.
The persistence seam is now create/open/stat/list returning per-session
SessionHandles (read/append/flush/close); every log read and write flows
through the owning handle. The seam package exports only the service and
handle contracts, consumer-visible errors, and pure durable-data
validation helpers; each backend owns its complete storage runtime, and
the shared contract suites pin equivalent observable behavior. The
backend routes published sessions' live events by id into the active
write handle; agent-loop only acquires, seeds, and closes the handle.
Resume appends interruptedTurnClosers through its write handle;
session-query owns the revision-keyed cold cache. Legacy-only surfaces
are removed in the same swap: locate/readRaw/supportsRawArtifacts, the
legacy event-shape read migration, zstd torn-frame salvage,
DSH_SESSION_JSONL, and hook transcript_path population; a torn final
zstd frame is discarded whole; the session-list cold blank probe returns
on stat metadata (eventCount derived from the last physical row,
sizeBytes). The WebUI ZIP export serializes the logical log from a read
handle, so both backends export identically.
