Add a second axis to every RFC — its class (feature, bug-fix,
simplification, architecture, process, testing) — encoded in the path
as docs/rfc/{lifecycle}/{class}/file.md. The folder is the label, so
the closed set is enforced by structure rather than a parsed field.
Two new doc-sync gates back it:
- verify-rfc-classification: every RFC sits in a valid class folder and
the README index lists it under the matching lifecycle→class heading.
- verify-doc-refs: every docs/*.md path cited in a packages|examples TS
comment resolves — closes a drift class verify-md-links can't see, and
catches the four comment refs this reorg moved.
The README gains a Classification section explaining the taxonomy and
per-class index sub-sections. A self-referential process RFC records why
the scheme is path-encoded and gated.

# RFC: Event-sourced sessions with derived message history
|
|
|
|
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-11)
|
|
|
|
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
The MVP requires strict event-based tracing with fully replayable sessions (严格的基于事件的trace、logging系统，session完全可回放). Two models were considered: a mutable message array with events fired as notifications (simpler, but state and log can diverge), or event-sourcing where the log IS the state.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
A `Session` is an append-only log of typed `SessionEvent`s — the single source of truth. The LLM message history is *derived* from the log (`deriveMessages()`); raw stream chunks are logged for token-level replay fidelity while the assembled `assistant/message` event is authoritative for derivation. Replay/fork = seed a new session with an existing log.
|
|
|
|
Appends are synchronous (the hot path never blocks on I/O); `session/event` is a sync notification; persistence plugins buffer write-behind and drain at the awaited `session/flush` checkpoint fired at every turn end.
|
|
|
|
Ordering contract: the loop appends to the session *before* emitting the corresponding Cordis event, and the `agent/step-result` waterfall runs before the `assistant/message` append so the log records what tool dispatch actually used (post-review fix; regression-tested).
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- Replay, trace, and telemetry are structurally guaranteed, not bolted on.
|
|
- Persistence stays a plugin concern; the in-memory store ships in dsh-session.
|
|
- The event vocabulary is merge-extensible (plugins add e.g. compaction events); it carries a TODO(review) marker until the first persistence plugin and real adapter exercise it.
|
|
- Derivation cost grows with log length — compaction (future plugin) is the intended mitigation, not log mutation.
