docs: purge chain-of-thought leakage from prose
Delete design-session citations (decision/audit/plan ordinals, stack positions), change narration, review choreography, and reviewer-addressed justification from comments, JSDoc, docs, READMEs, Agent Notes, tests, and generator templates; restate every affected fact as current-state contract prose. Fix generated docs at their sources and regenerate the catalogs and cordis-surface regions; re-paste type-equiv blocks; update every bilingual counterpart and re-record the pairs. Record the citation rule in the committed-artifact-citations Agent Note.

mode and label are folded by the new `subagent` projection unit (pure identity, two arms), and the unit is the sole authority over the fold rules; `listChildren` no longer depends on session-query — enumeration is a subagent-owned live-preferred merge, and value retrieval walks a three-rung compute-and-discard ladder: a live child synchronously reads the registry's existing watermark cache (zero log reads); a cold child first asks the optional `sessionProjectionCache` checkpoint, and a served identity that passes the seq gate is final; otherwise it pays one full `persistence.inspect` read plus one `registry.restore` fold. No index, no cache of its own, no write-back.

There are three families of escape from the per-child scan: promote mode/label into the header (the write path pays); build a durable derivation for the projection (a checkpoint ladder, or values landed during query-index rebuild with read-side reconciliation); or compute at read time (live from the watermark cache, cold from one full read). This note takes the third. "Values landed with the query index" was once this note's settled direction and was under construction for a time, then retired wholesale: query infrastructure was forced to learn domain vocabulary while the sole consumer is satisfied by read-time computation — the live child's zero reads come for free from session-projection's existing watermark cache, and the cold child's single full read is explicitly accepted as compute-and-discard. The first two routes and the retirement rationale are detailed under Alternatives considered.

**mode/label into SessionHeader.** The strongest zero-read guarantee — rows form from the header alone. But a header shape change propagates into both persistence backends and the header compatibility check; SQLite rejects pre-existing data outright, and JSONL pre-existing data can only degrade to unknown or be backfilled. Read-time computation's answer for pre-existing data is "one `inspect` computation on first listing", touching no durable format.

**The projection-cache ladder (v3 draft: `cachedSnapshot ?? coldSnapshot` plus fail-soft write-back).** The mechanism works — session-projection-cache's checkpoint ladder is designed for cold reads in the first place. But checkpoint write-back is a whole list-driven body of derived-data persistence and invalidation orchestration (floor/identity/putSoft); what was rejected is that orchestration as the primary mechanism. The settled three-rung ladder later reuses this cache opportunistically, read-only, as its second rung — no write-back, no orchestration, skipped when absent.

**A bounded-read primitive on persistence to rescue pre-existing data.** Opens a new persistence primitive for a one-time problem; superseded by the read-time `inspect` full read — the full read the first time pre-existing data is listed is itself the value retrieval.

**Optional mode/label on list rows (one v4 draft).** Healthy data is always computable; optionality merely spills garbage-data handling complexity onto every consumer — each consuming surface has to grow filter branches and an unknown display state. The strong contract plus omit-when-uncomputable is cleaner.

**Deleting diagnostic rows outright (one v5 draft).** Deletion turns corpus-corruption visibility into rows silently vanishing, and wire/tool/GUI would each have to absorb contract and snapshot changes; retention only asks the list side to derive the classification from projection-value absence and activity, at zero cost. That damaged, dead child sessions in the corpus must be visible is the original motivation for diagnostics' existence, and with retention the consuming surfaces stay wholly unchanged.

**A registry computation failure channel (per-unit fault tolerance plus a supplementary `failures` field).** To report corruption and unrecognized versions to consumers, we once considered having the registry catch unit exceptions and attach a per-key failure state beside the snapshot. Rejected: a failure is not a value and needs no channel — a unit never throws, absence is itself the signal, worst case the computation comes back empty, and how that is presented is the consumer's problem. The discussion of this route left one independent observation behind: the vendored Cordis `emit` ([vendor/cordis/src/events.ts](../../../../vendor/cordis/src/events.ts)) catches nothing a listener throws, so with the projection driver hanging off `session/event`, a unit exception would escape along emit — which adds weight to the "a unit never throws" discipline, but fixing emit fault tolerance is outside this note's scope.

**Values landed with query index preparation (the v4/v5 settled design, built for a time).** Projection values folded into session index rows during the sqlite backend's reconciliation rebuild, for zero log reads in the steady read state; the `projectionsFor` bulk read face, the invalidation reconciliation of row values stored against the `(key → stateVersion)` registration set, and the SCHEMA bump were all actually built. Retired wholesale: the direction was backwards — query infrastructure was forced to learn domain vocabulary (projection columns, registration-set reconciliation) while the sole consumer, the subagent list, is satisfied by read-time computation; with consumers down to zero, this derived persistence has no reason to exist. `SESSION_QUERY_PROJECTIONS_UNAVAILABLE` was deleted along with the read face.

**Subagent hand-rolled parsing plus an in-process memo plus creation seeding (v6 draft).** To excise the session-query dependency, we once considered the subagent package parsing descriptor events itself, avoiding repeated full reads with an in-process memo, and seeding initial values at creation. Superseded by the v7 ladder: live goes through the `sessionProjections` watermark cache and cold through `registry.restore`, reusing the registry's single fold authority — no second copy of descriptor-interpretation logic appears, and no process-state cache or seeding ordering is introduced.

**DeepReadonly on the session-query output surface (a read-path overhaul experiment).** Make the public query outputs deeply readonly to pin immutable borrowing at the type level. Rejected on evidence: 3 TS2589 occurrences (excessively deep type instantiation) plus 17 sites of array-position contagion (consumers' array methods and spread sites forced to follow); deep immutability is guaranteed by core/session's runtime deep freeze, and that read-path overhaul is not part of this note.
