## Decision
`Session`'s constructor appends the log-only `session/end-seed` event immediately after a non-empty constructor seed, as the seeded session's first live write at the seq `firstLiveSeq` names. The event is the durable projection of that field: `firstLiveSeq` answers where this lifecycle's writes start for a consumer holding the object, while `session/end-seed` answers the same question for one holding only stored bytes. Its payload is empty — position and `time` carry the whole meaning — and it is not a `SurfaceEventType`, so it produces no message and cannot perturb derived history.
`Session`'s constructor appends the log-only `session/end-seed` event immediately after an explicitly supplied constructor seed, including an empty one, as the seeded session's first live write at the seq `firstLiveSeq` names. The event is the durable projection of that field: `firstLiveSeq` answers where this lifecycle's writes start for a consumer holding the object, while `session/end-seed` answers the same question for one holding only stored bytes. Its payload is empty — position and `time` carry the whole meaning — and it is not a `SurfaceEventType`, so it produces no message and cannot perturb derived history. The seq-0 marker distinguishes an empty resumed session from a genuinely fresh session, preventing new-session defaults from being applied during resume.
A bracket owner reads it positionally: an unmatched opening marker before `session/end-seed` has a smaller seq, came from the constructor seed, and belongs to a lifecycle that has ended. Core writes the boundary and reads nothing from it; each bracket's vocabulary stays with its owning plugin, so no core predicate helper ships without a consumer to shape it.
The constructor is the placement because it is the single waist every seeded session passes through. All six entry points reach it: `agents.resume()`, config-driven startup on a persisted id (`restoreOrCreateConfigured`), `sessions.fork()`, a subagent fork child, `coordinator.adopt()`'s live-prefix path, and a bare `sessions.create(id, {seed})`. A boundary written at persistence load would miss both fork paths — and a forked child inheriting a still-running parent's open `compact/start` is precisely the case that must be classifiable. A boundary written at loop start would miss `fork()` and `adopt()`, and would have to fire on `SessionStartSource: 'startup'`, which is what a fork child publishes, so that field would stop discriminating.
Two guards keep the marker from becoming noise. An empty seed writes nothing because there is no seed to end. A seed already ending in one is not re-marked, which makes the write idempotent. Idempotence is load-bearing rather than tidiness — `agentFor()` resumes a cold session on first touch, so merely opening one in a client is a pickup, and without the guard browsing would grow a log by one event per visit.

Bought: one boundary, written in one place, correct for all six seeded-start paths — including the fork gap the persistence-layer version could not reach. The persistence packages keep a pure read path. `firstLiveSeq` gains a durable twin rather than a second, competing notion of the same boundary.
Cost: a seeded session's log is one event longer, which moved seq expectations in tests across nine packages (session, agent-loop, persistence contract, jsonl, session-query, session-title, subagent-inprocess, telemetry, token-meter). Two of those updates are load-bearing rather than mechanical: telemetry's adoption tests now assert the boundary IS exported, because it is this lifecycle's own write, and the property suite's replay invariant is restated as "seed reproduced verbatim, plus one log-only boundary" with idempotence added as its own property.

`session/end-seed` joins the on-disk vocabulary. Under the pre-release stance (`SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` pinned at `0`, no compatibility promise) older logs simply lack it, and a log without a boundary correctly classifies nothing as constructor-seed history.
