+# Agent Note: Model-relative session-reference budgets
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-09-05-session-reference-model-budget.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+A fixed 64 KiB reference budget discards useful source context on large-context models. The target session header describes a prior request, while agent options seed routing; neither necessarily identifies the model selected for the entering step.
+
+## Decision
+
+[Session-reference](../../../../packages/context/session-reference/README.md) observes the completed `system-prompt/assemble` waterfall with a local prepend listener and stores its provider/model pair in a WeakMap keyed by Agent. Preparation resolves that route through the optional LLM service; direct preparation before any assembly uses agent options. Diagnostics without an Agent do not update the map.
+
+Each source receives `max(65536, floor(contextWindow × 4 × referenceContextFraction))` bytes, with a default fraction of `0.2`. Four bytes per token is a sizing heuristic. Explicit `maxReferenceBytes` bypasses model lookup and remains exact. Missing route, service, adapter, or capacity retains the floor; other lookup failures and cancellation propagate. An absent adapter does not prevent stream middleware from serving the route.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Read the header or options for every step.** Either can select a stale model after a live switch. The completed assembly exposes the route captured by model selection.
+
+**Reassemble or redispatch request routing during pre-step.** These operations repeat plugin effects and can capture a different selection. A local observer needs neither loop changes nor another public routing API.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The budget grows with model capacity without changing projection, retention, or preview policy. It remains per source, not an aggregate token reservation. The listener is effect-owned and disposable; the map does not retain agents. Focused tests cover the floor, fractional conversion, explicit overrides, live selection, absent metadata, cancellation, lookup errors, and listener removal.

+# Agent Note: 模型相对会话引用预算
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-09-05-session-reference-model-budget.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+固定的 64 KiB 引用预算会在大上下文模型上丢弃有用的来源上下文。目标会话头描述上一次请求，而 agent options 为路由提供初始值；两者都不一定标识当前进入步骤所选的模型。
+
+## Decision
+
+[Session-reference](../../../../packages/context/session-reference/README.zh.md) 通过本地 prepend 监听器观察已完成的 `system-prompt/assemble` 瀑布，并把 provider/model 对存入以 Agent 为键的 WeakMap。准备阶段通过可选 LLM 服务解析该路由；首次组装前直接准备则使用 agent options。不带 Agent 的诊断不会更新映射。
+
+每个来源获得 `max(65536, floor(contextWindow × 4 × referenceContextFraction))` 字节，默认比例为 `0.2`。每个 token 四字节是容量估算。显式 `maxReferenceBytes` 跳过模型查询并保持精确值。缺少路由、服务、适配器或容量时保留下限；其他查询失败和取消会传播。缺少适配器不妨碍流中间件处理该路由。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**每步读取会话头或 options。** 实时切换后，两者都可能选中旧模型。完成的组装公开模型选择所捕获的路由。
+
+**在 pre-step 中重新组装或重新分派请求路由。** 这些操作会重复插件效果，并可能捕获不同的选择。本地观察器不需要修改循环或增加公共路由 API。
+
+## Consequences
+
+预算随模型容量增长，不改变投影、保留或预览策略。它仍按来源计算，而不是聚合 token 预留。监听器由 effect 持有并可释放；映射不会保留 agent。聚焦测试覆盖下限、比例换算、显式覆盖、实时选择、元数据缺失、取消、查询错误与监听器移除。

+# Agent Note: Reuse spill storage for truncated session references
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-09-05-session-reference-spill-reuse.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+A bounded cross-session preview can omit whole messages or most of a retained message. A model that sees only the preview needs an accurate account of the omission and a way to inspect the captured text, without treating another session's instructions as current authority. Rereading the source later would not recover the same observation when the source advances or compacts.
+
+## Decision
+
+[Session-reference preparation](../../../../packages/context/session-reference/README.md) retains its existing preview policy and per-reference JSON byte budget. Each truncated reference attempts `saveText` through optional `ctx.get("spillStore")`; an untruncated reference writes no artifact. The full transcript and bounded preview derive from the same captured user/assistant text projection, including compaction checkpoints but excluding tools, reasoning, and other injected context. No second source read occurs.
+
+The artifact belongs to the target session receiving the context. Its descriptive source is `{ kind: "session-reference", sessionId, label }`, where `sessionId` identifies the referenced session. [Spill storage](../../../../packages/spill/spill/README.md) accepts this minimal alternative alongside the existing tool source; it requires no fabricated tool name or call id. Storage ownership does not authorize retrieval.
+
+A separate omission notice outside the bounded preview JSON records exact `omittedMessages` and `omittedBytes`. It carries the saved locator and backend `retrievalHint`, or an unavailable outcome distinguishing missing storage from a failed save. This notice is model-visible content in the same durable reference message, not metadata-only UI decoration. A tiny preview budget cannot remove it. The saved transcript carries capture metadata, including `capturedFormatVersion`, and the same untrusted-background warning as the preview. Per-message JSON string fragments contain at most 64 Unicode code points per line; decoding and concatenating them restores exact text, including original newlines. This fixed artifact format keeps long single-line middles retrievable with ordinary paged file reads without changing preview retention.
+
+Cancellation after an asynchronous save prevents context publication, even if storage already created the artifact. The consumer does not add rollback or deletion APIs; the existing backend expiry policy governs that artifact. Replay uses the logged preview and notice and never repeats the save or source read.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Write a separate session-reference file store.** Rejected because private naming, session-scoped ownership, locator guidance, and artifact lifetime already belong to spill storage. A second store would duplicate those policies.
+
+**Reread the source when saving or retrieving.** Rejected because source mutation could make the artifact disagree with the preview and its captured sequence. Saving the original projection preserves the observation.
+
+**Put omission and retrieval data inside the bounded preview JSON.** Rejected because that spends the conversation budget on metadata and can hide the notice precisely when the budget is smallest. Separate durable model-visible text preserves both obligations.
+
+**Use tool provenance for every spill.** Rejected because a session reference has no model-issued tool call. Invented tool ids would misattribute the artifact rather than describe its producer.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The model can inspect text omitted from a preview without increasing the preview budget. Notices add request tokens outside that budget, and retrieval adds the requested transcript text later. Storage is best-effort: an unavailable notice is honest about loss of retrieval while the bounded preview remains usable. A saved locator can expire even while its notice remains in durable history; this feature does not promise permanent archival or recover content already removed by source compaction.
+
+## Verification
+
+The [unit suite](../../../../packages/context/session-reference/tests/session-reference.spec.ts) pins omission counts, full Unicode and control-character recovery, whole-message drops, three-reference isolation, missing and failed storage, source exclusions and mutation isolation, and cancellation before publication. The [Loader composition test](../../../../packages/context/session-reference/tests/loader-composition.spec.ts) exercises the real local store and paged `read` tool against the middle of a giant single-line message, with target-session storage ownership. The [keyless recorded-session scenario](../../../../snapshots/session/session-reference-spill/snapshot.yml) pins the durable model-visible reference context. Nested Windows-locator regressions cover both serialized extraction and normalization without rewriting unrelated backslashes. Replay [normalizes known quoted spill locators](../../../../packages/test-support/session-snapshot/README.md) while preserving saved byte lengths and omission counts.
+
+## Related decisions
+
+The [tool-output spill decision](../architecture/2026-07-08-tool-output-spill-files.md) remains active: its storage/policy separation, failure degradation, provider caps, and retrieval alternatives still constrain tool consumers. This note extends its producer vocabulary without replacing that rationale. [Separate context injection from turn execution](../architecture/2026-07-24-separate-context-injection-from-turn-execution.md) remains the authority for durable message admission, and [producer-declared context forms](../feature/2026-08-05-context-form-vocabulary.md) remains the authority for recall presentation.

+# Agent Note: 为截断的会话引用复用 spill 存储
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-09-05-session-reference-spill-reuse.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+有界的跨会话预览可能省略整条消息，也可能省略保留消息中的大部分文本。只看到预览的模型需要准确了解省略情况，并能检查已捕获的文本，同时不能把其他会话的指令视为当前授权。源会话继续推进或发生压缩后，再次读取无法恢复同一次观察。
+
+## 决策
+
+[会话引用准备](../../../../packages/context/session-reference/README.zh.md)保留既有预览策略和逐引用 JSON 字节预算。每个被截断的引用通过可选的 `ctx.get("spillStore")` 尝试 `saveText`；未截断的引用不写入产物。完整转录与有界预览来自同一份已捕获的 user／assistant 文本投影，包含压缩检查点，但排除工具、推理与其他注入上下文。不发生第二次源读取。
+
+产物归接收上下文的目标会话所有。其描述性来源是 `{ kind: "session-reference", sessionId, label }`，其中 `sessionId` 标识被引用的会话。[spill 存储](../../../../packages/spill/spill/README.zh.md)在工具来源之外接受这一最小分支；不需要伪造工具名称或调用 id。存储归属不授权取回。
+
+有界预览 JSON 之外的独立省略通知记录精确的 `omittedMessages` 与 `omittedBytes`。通知携带保存后的定位信息和后端 `retrievalHint`，或区分未配置存储与保存失败的不可用结果。该通知是同一条持久引用消息中的模型可见内容，而不是只供 UI 使用的元数据装饰。极小的预览预算无法移除它。保存的转录携带包括 `capturedFormatVersion` 在内的捕获元数据，以及与预览相同的不受信任背景警告。每条消息的 JSON 字符串片段每行至多包含 64 个 Unicode 码点；解码并拼接后可恢复精确文本，包括原始换行。这种固定产物格式让普通分页文件读取可以取回很长的单行文本中部，而不改变预览保留策略。
+
+异步保存后的取消会阻止上下文发布，即使存储已经创建了产物。消费方不增加回滚或删除 API；该产物遵循后端既有过期策略。回放使用已记录的预览与通知，不会重复保存或源读取。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**另写一个会话引用文件存储。** 不予采纳，因为私有命名、会话级归属、定位指引与产物生命周期已经由 spill 存储负责。第二套存储会重复这些策略。
+
+**保存或取回时重新读取源。** 不予采纳，因为源变更可能使产物与预览及其捕获序列不一致。保存原始投影可以保留该次观察。
+
+**把省略与取回数据放入有界预览 JSON。** 不予采纳，因为这会让元数据占用对话预算，并可能在预算最小时恰好隐藏通知。独立的持久模型可见文本同时保留两项保证。
+
+**所有 spill 都使用工具来源。** 不予采纳，因为会话引用没有模型发出的工具调用。虚构工具 id 会错误归属产物，而不是描述其生产者。
+
+## 后果
+
+模型可以检查预览省略的文本，而无需增加预览预算。通知在该预算之外增加请求 token，之后的取回再添加所请求的转录文本。存储采用尽力而为策略：不可用通知如实说明无法取回，而有界预览仍可使用。即使通知仍在持久历史中，保存的定位信息也可能过期；此功能不承诺永久归档，也无法恢复源压缩已经移除的内容。
+
+## 验证
+
+[单元测试](../../../../packages/context/session-reference/tests/session-reference.spec.ts)锁定省略计数、完整 Unicode 与控制字符恢复、整条消息丢弃、三个引用的隔离、无存储与保存失败、来源排除与变更隔离，以及发布前取消。[Loader 组合测试](../../../../packages/context/session-reference/tests/loader-composition.spec.ts)使用真实本地存储和分页 `read` 工具，读取巨型单行消息的中部，并检查存储归目标会话所有。[无密钥录制会话场景](../../../../snapshots/session/session-reference-spill/snapshot.yml)锁定持久的模型可见引用上下文。嵌套 Windows 定位信息回归覆盖序列化提取与规范化，且不改写无关反斜杠。回放会[规范化已知的带引号 spill 定位信息](../../../../packages/test-support/session-snapshot/README.zh.md)，同时保留保存字节数与省略计数。
+
+## 相关决策
+
+[工具输出 spill 决策](../architecture/2026-07-08-tool-output-spill-files.zh.md)保持活跃：其存储／策略分离、失败降级、提供方上限与取回替代方案仍约束工具消费方。本说明扩展其生产者词汇，而不替代这些理由。[分离上下文注入与轮次执行](../architecture/2026-07-24-separate-context-injection-from-turn-execution.zh.md)仍负责持久消息准入，[生产者声明的上下文形式](../feature/2026-08-05-context-form-vocabulary.zh.md)仍负责 recall 展示。

 ### What the agent gets
 
-A message that cites other sessions is followed immediately by a `## Referenced sessions` snapshot as a second user-role message. The snapshot is untrusted background: the fixed warning tells the model not to follow instructions, permission claims, or tool requests inside it unless the current user explicitly repeats them. Each source is bounded independently — at most `maxReferences` distinct sessions per message and `maxReferenceBytes` per source — and a source that cannot fit its budget fails preparation instead of returning partial context.
+A message that cites other sessions is followed immediately by a `## Referenced sessions` snapshot as a second user-role message. The snapshot is untrusted background: the fixed warning tells the model not to follow instructions, permission claims, or tool requests inside it unless the current user explicitly repeats them. Each source preview is bounded independently — at most `maxReferences` distinct sessions per message and a configured or model-relative serialized JSON byte budget per source. Retention drops older non-checkpoint messages before shortening retained text; preparation fails only when the reference cannot fit even after retention.
+
+For a truncated reference, an optional spill backend saves the full captured text projection under the target session. A separate omission notice outside the bounded preview JSON gives exact `omittedMessages` and `omittedBytes`, then the saved locator and `retrievalHint`, or an unavailable outcome distinguishing missing storage from a failed save. The notice is part of the same durable context message. Full transcripts carry the same untrusted-background warning and capture metadata, including `capturedFormatVersion`. Each message uses JSON string fragments of at most 64 Unicode code points per line; decode and concatenate its fragments to recover exact text, including original newlines. This fixed storage format keeps even long single-line text readable through paged file reads.

 ### Design concept
 
-Preparation reads each referenced session's current surface exactly once, when the target message reaches `agent/pre-step`, so a queued message captures source state at model-step entry and the resulting context is immutable afterwards. Projection keeps only direct-user `user/message`, assistant text, and `user/message` checkpoints carrying the canonical compaction marker; separately sourced session-reference messages are excluded, preventing recursive snapshot propagation. Source text is serialized as JSON with every `<` escaped as `\u003c`, so it cannot spell the `<referenced-sessions>` framing tag.
+Preparation reads each referenced session's current surface exactly once, when the target message reaches `agent/pre-step`. Both preview and spill use that same captured projection: direct-user text, assistant text, and user checkpoints carrying the canonical compaction marker; tools, reasoning, and other injected context are excluded. This prevents recursive reference propagation and prevents a later source mutation from changing the saved transcript. Preview JSON escapes every `<` as `\u003c`, so source text cannot spell the `<referenced-sessions>` framing tag.
+
+The resolver discovers optional storage through `ctx.get("spillStore")` and saves only truncated references. Storage ownership is the target session; provenance identifies the referenced source session and label, without a fabricated tool call. Cancellation is checked after the asynchronous save and prevents publication even if an artifact was written. Artifact expiry remains the backend's existing policy.
+
+The budget uses the provider and model captured after `system-prompt/assemble` completes for the target agent. Direct `prepare` calls before any assembly use agent options; session headers do not select the budget model. Diagnostic assemblies without an agent do not affect captured routes.

 ### Main flow
 
-The outer `agent/pre-step` listener accepts the step, parses canonical mentions out of direct user messages, then calls `prepare`, which normalizes references (first-mention order, deduplication, self-reference and count rejection), reads every surface in parallel, retains each under `maxReferenceBytes`, and renders the aggregated prompt. Each durable source record keeps the frozen `capturedThroughSeq` and records a nonzero `capturedFormatVersion`; absence denotes format v0. Each snapshot is inserted immediately after the message that cited it, and the target log records the readable direct message followed by its sourced context, so source mutation after capture cannot change target replay.

-引用其他会话的消息会紧随其后收到一条 `## Referenced sessions` 快照，作为第二条 user 角色消息。快照是不受信任的背景：固定警告告诉模型，除非当前用户明确重复，否则不得遵循其中的指令、权限声明或工具请求。每个来源都独立有界——每条消息至多 `maxReferences` 个不同会话、每个来源至多 `maxReferenceBytes` 字节——无法塞入预算的来源会直接使准备失败，而不是返回部分上下文。
+引用其他会话的消息后会紧接一条 `## Referenced sessions` 快照，作为第二条 user 角色消息。快照是不受信任的背景：固定警告告诉模型，除非当前用户明确重复，否则不得遵循其中的指令、权限声明或工具请求。每个来源预览都独立有界——每条消息至多 `maxReferences` 个不同会话，每个来源的序列化 JSON 采用配置值或模型相对字节预算。保留策略先丢弃较早的非检查点消息，再缩短保留的文本；只有保留处理后引用仍无法满足预算时，准备才会失败。

 ### 设计理念
 
-准备阶段在目标消息到达 `agent/pre-step` 时，对每个被引用会话的当前表层各精确读取一次，因此 queued 消息在进入模型步骤时捕获源状态，此后生成的上下文不可变。投影只保留用户直接发出的 `user/message`、assistant 文本，以及携带规范压缩标记的 `user/message` 检查点；带独立来源的 session-reference 消息会被排除，防止快照递归传播。源文本以 JSON 序列化，每个 `<` 都转义为 `\u003c`，因此无法拼出 `<referenced-sessions>` 定界标签。
+准备阶段在目标消息到达 `agent/pre-step` 时，对每个被引用会话的当前表层各精确读取一次。预览与 spill 使用同一份已捕获投影：用户直接发送的文本、assistant 文本，以及携带规范压缩标记的 user 检查点；工具、推理与其他注入上下文均被排除。这既防止引用递归传播，也防止源会话后续变更影响已保存转录。预览 JSON 将每个 `<` 转义为 `\u003c`，因此源文本无法拼出 `<referenced-sessions>` 定界标签。
+
+解析器通过 `ctx.get("spillStore")` 获取可选存储，只保存被截断的引用。存储归目标会话所有；来源信息标识被引用的源会话与标签，不伪造工具调用。异步保存后会检查取消，即使产物已写入，也会阻止发布。产物过期仍遵循后端既有策略。
+
+预算使用目标 agent 的 `system-prompt/assemble` 完成后捕获的 provider 与 model。首次组装前直接调用 `prepare` 时使用 agent options；会话头不决定预算模型。不带 agent 的诊断组装不会影响已捕获路由。

 ## Summary
 
-The `spill/` group keeps oversized tool output out of the model's context without losing it: when a tool result exceeds a deployment's byte cap, the full text is saved to a spill artifact and the model sees a bounded preview plus a locator it can read or search later. The family splits into three packages — the storage service in `spill/`, the local filesystem backend in `spill-local/`, and the result policy in `spill-policy/` that decides when a final tool result is too large. Spilling is opt-in and best-effort: the policy acts only when `maxInlineBytes` is configured, and a storage failure leaves the original result visible. The group owns storage and result replacement only; preview mechanics live in `dsh-output-retention`, and provider resource caps remain separate.
+The `spill/` group stores full text outside the model's context and returns a locator with retrieval guidance. The family splits into the storage service in `spill/`, the local filesystem backend in `spill-local/`, and the tool-result policy in `spill-policy/`. Tool-result spilling is opt-in through `maxInlineBytes` and keeps the original result on storage failure. [Session references](../context/session-reference/README.md) also consume storage directly for truncated captured transcripts, with their own preview and failure notices; they do not require the tool-result policy.

-`dsh-spill-local` saves a tool's oversized text to a private, session-scoped file on the host filesystem and returns that file's path as the locator, with retrieval guidance telling the model to read or grep it. Mount it whenever a composition needs spill storage on the same machine the agent runs on. Files are private to the current user, names are unpredictable, and each session's files group under a stable directory, so a shared root cannot leak output or be redirected by a planted symlink. Configuration selects the root and the startup-cleanup retention period; previews and spill decisions live in other packages.

 One best-effort sweep starts after activation without delaying service availability. It scans the configured root and prior default `dsh-spill-*` roots under the OS temp directory, deletes regular files whose modification time is strictly older than the configured cutoff, prunes empty session directories, and removes only empty prior-default roots.

It defines what a spill backend does, not how it stores — a deployment mounts a backend such as `dsh-spill-local` for real persistence, and the `dsh-spill-policy` plugin decides when a tool result is too large. Choose it when a deployment must keep oversized tool output retrievable without flooding the model's context. The service owns storage only: no retention policy, no tool-result replacement, and no retrieval or search API. A real storage failure rejects loudly, so the caller decides how to degrade.

+A composition that saves spill artifacts mounts one backend — this package alone stores nothing. `dsh-spill-policy` decides when tool results spill; `dsh-session-reference` directly saves truncated reference transcripts without requiring that policy. Callers use `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` with an explicit owner; optional consumers discover the backend with `ctx.get("spillStore")`.
 
 ### When to choose it
 
-Choose spill storage when a deployment needs to keep oversized tool output retrievable after the model has only seen a bounded preview — for example a fetched page body the model may want to read or grep later. You do not need this package when no tool in the composition produces results large enough to matter, or when the deployment has no local filesystem the model's tools can read; a backend whose locator is meaningful in that environment is a prerequisite.

 `normalizeSessionSnapshot` retains the complete Session header and event payloads but omits top-level `seq`/`time` envelopes from committed fixtures after normalizing paths and scrubbing request headers; it also normalizes embedded stream clocks and historical packed-row `seq0`/`time0` envelopes. Replay synthesizes the top-level envelopes in memory, while runtime persistence continues to write complete logs. Multi-session comparison restores every selected persisted or projected fixture through the current build-static Session format catalog before identity redaction and normalization, so retained v0/v1 replay input and fresh `session.v2.jsonl` writer output compare as one v2 logical Session without rewriting or renaming historical files. Expected and harvested logs use the same strict restoration path; source filenames cannot alter format validation. Versionless protocol-adapter unit fixtures remain outside the released Session format corpus. Current v2 fixtures use one row per event; retained v0/v1 fixtures may use canonical packed rows. The [temporary repository migrator](../../../scripts/migrate-packed-session-fixtures.ts) (`pnpm run migrate:packed-session-fixtures`) rewrites older historical layouts, and its [removal proposal](../../../.agents/notes/proposed/process/2026-07-26-remove-packed-session-fixture-migrator.md) owns its deletion.

Refresh extraction preserves the matched serialized path spelling for literal replacement. Normalization changes only the locator: saved byte lengths and omission counts remain comparison evidence.

 ### Record, replay, and refresh
 
 `pnpm run test:snapshot:record` calls the live LLM and writes the harvested current generation under its canonical versioned filename. Record and refresh never rename or delete a completed generation, including generations of a child role absent from a later run; reviewed source-tree curation removes a predecessor only after the same role has a verified current replacement. Scenarios with an explicit `sessionFormat` remain read-only in record mode. `pnpm run test:snapshot:refresh` stays keyless, runs the selected highest replay input, and writes stdout, owned prompt and tool-schema sidecars, and a fresh current-generation comparable Session output unless the manifest retains a historical generation. Each composition owner keeps its replay patch beside its live patch; top-level `snapshots/` owns Session-driven scenarios, while other expected outputs stay beside their owning package.
