The event-sourced session log already has the primitive a fork needs: create a new session with a seed event prefix, then derive model history from that seeded log exactly as replay does. That primitive is intentionally low-level: `ctx.sessions.create(id, { seed, meta })` accepts any valid seed, but ordinary live-session branching needs policy around which prefix can be copied, which metadata is stamped on the child, and how errors are classified.
|
||||
|
||||
The semantic hazard is the fork boundary. A valid user-visible fork seed must be contiguous and turn-enclosed. Forking inside an active turn would copy an open `turn/start`, possibly an open `step/start`, and possibly dangling tool calls. That violates turn-enclosure and provider-transcript invariants, and it creates a misleading child history that appears to have participated in an unfinished parent turn. The existing [subagent seam](2026-06-21-subagent-capability-seam.md) deliberately solves a different problem: tool-triggered subagent forks usually happen while the parent turn is open, so `dsh-subagent-fork` clips the seed to the parent's last completed-turn prefix. A general session fork should not silently clip; it should either fork the requested boundary or reject it.

That violates execution and provider-transcript invariants, and it creates a misleading child history that appears to have participated in an unfinished parent turn. Standalone context and plugin-owned log-only events are stable forkable history after a closed turn.

`boundary` is the inclusive source event `seq` to copy through. When omitted, it defaults to the source session's current last event; on an empty source, omitted `boundary` creates an empty child. Fork-specific validation only checks that the requested boundary exists and is a `turn/end`. The selected prefix is then deep-cloned into the child seed. The child inherits the source session's `cwd`, stamps `parentSession` to the source id, and sets `seedLength` to the copied prefix length. When `childSessionId` is omitted, `SessionStore` generates one using its existing id policy.

`boundary` is the inclusive source event `seq` to copy through. When omitted, it defaults to the source session's current last event; on an empty source, omitted `boundary` creates an empty child. Fork-specific validation checks that the requested boundary exists and that the selected prefix's latest turn boundary is not an unmatched `turn/start`. The selected prefix may therefore end at `turn/end` or at a later standalone event, then is deep-cloned into the child seed. The child inherits the source session's `cwd`, stamps `parentSession` to the source id, and sets `seedLength` to the copied prefix length. When `childSessionId` is omitted, `SessionStore` generates one using its existing id policy.

An empty prefix is forkable; any non-empty boundary must be a safe existing sequence at `turn/end`, regardless of reason. Typed errors distinguish missing sources, stale objects, duplicate child ids, and invalid boundaries. Broader log validation and crash repair remain with their existing owners.
