session.rs

//! K5 — the session.
//!
//! A session binds one history, one budget and the projection caches
//! together and is the only handle on kernel state.  All of it lives in
//! the value: two sessions share nothing.
//!
//! # The lifecycle is the session's
//!
//! There is no "run" inside a session.  A session opens once, records, and
//! closes once; the two events that bracket it — `session_opened` and
//! `session_closed` — are written by the kernel on those two occasions and
//! by nothing else.  A caller cannot hand-append either
//! ([`super::event::is_kernel_only`]), because a stream that claims an
//! opening it never had, or an ending it never reached, is exactly what a
//! resume and an audit read.
//!
//! Beats are the layer above's, not the kernel's: the shell mints a beat id
//! and stamps it on the facts that belong together.  The kernel neither
//! numbers nor requires one — see [`super::event`].
//!
//! # The session *has a* scope
//!
//! A scope and a session are two things, sharing one lifetime: both begin
//! when the session opens and end when it closes.  The session is the
//! stream — this history and its projections.  The [`Scope`] is the
//! authority it is written under: a kernel-issued [`ScopeId`], the `owner`,
//! and the quota that owner granted.  The session holds it *by value*,
//! because neither outlives the other and there is nothing to share.
//!
//! A session holds only its own events, so ownership is not a per-event
//! question: the scope carries one `owner` — a real principal id, or the
//! reserved [`ANON`] / [`SYSTEM`] id — and it is *total* (never `Option`,
//! never a "kernel vs caller" flag).  System-originated work is a session
//! whose owner is [`SYSTEM`]; unspecified is [`ANON`].  The policy layer
//! above the kernel reads [`Session::owner`] to authorize; the kernel itself
//! does not branch on it.
//!
//! The scope is in the log, not only in the value.  Its id is recorded on
//! `session_opened` beside the owner, and on every `budget_*` event, so the
//! boundary is recoverable — and unforgeable, since the kinds that carry it
//! are the kernel's alone to write ([`super::event::is_kernel_only`]).
//! [`Session::resume`] restores the scope from those records rather than
//! being told what it was.
//!
//! # One append, and it lands
//!
//! There is a single write path.  [`Session::append`] validates, stamps
//! the kernel-owned `seq` / `epoch_ms`, and pushes.  It adds nothing else:
//! what an event says beyond the envelope is the caller's.
//!
//! An append *records a fact*, so it is never refused for what the handle
//! last saw.  The store assigns the `seq` and the ordering, and serializes
//! the write per stream; two handles on one stream both write and the log
//! interleaves in arrival order.  No handle keeps a head of its own to be
//! measured against — the store's head is read when something needs it.
//!
//! A *command with an invariant* is the other shape, and it is decided
//! inside the store ([`EventStore::append_if`]), which folds the events it
//! is handed and writes only if the invariant holds, all under the same
//! serialization.  Checking a cached value out here and appending
//! afterwards is exactly the race that would let two handles reserve the
//! same allowance twice.  Every move of the balance is one:
//! [`Session::reserve`] writes a `budget_reserved` if the ledger covers what
//! was asked and a `budget_refused` if it does not, [`Session::spend`] writes
//! a `budget_spent` if there is a ledger at all, and
//! [`Session::grant_on_resume`] writes a `budget_granted` only where one
//! already is.  What all three decide first is the same question — *does this
//! stream have a ledger* — and it is the log's answer, not the handle's: a
//! grant this handle never saw still binds it.  None of them asks whether the
//! session ended — see below.
//!
//! The one thing written as a *batch* is the session's own opening:
//! [`Session::open_on`] records `session_opened` and the `budget_granted`
//! that says what it opened under through [`EventStore::append_many`], so a
//! reader never meets a session that opened without its quota.
//!
//! # The log never refuses a write
//!
//! `closed` is the *handle's* state, not the stream's.  A handle that has
//! closed will not operate again — [`Session::append`], [`Session::reserve`],
//! [`Session::spend`] and [`Session::close`] all read that one local flag —
//! but the log itself turns nothing away.  A write that arrives after a
//! `session_closed`, from another handle that never saw the ending, is
//! recorded like any other, because it *is* a fact: something wrote to a
//! stream that had ended, which is exactly what an audit is there to find.
//! Refusing it would delete the evidence of the bug that produced it.
//!
//! So two handles closing leave two `session_closed` events, not one, and
//! that is the truthful record.  The store's job is to serialize appends and
//! land them; deciding what a stream *ought* to have looked like is a
//! reader's.
//!
//! # A session is disposable
//!
//! Nothing else looks at `session_closed`: [`Session::resume`] is its one
//! reader.  A stream whose log already carries an ending is not continued —
//! what comes after an ending is a new session, not a second life for the
//! old one, or "closed" would say nothing about what a reader of the log can
//! expect after it.  That is where a closed stream refuses; the writes do
//! not.
//!
//! # A child is a fact, not a handle
//!
//! [`Session::open_child`] opens a session from this one and pays for it out
//! of this one's balance.  It is the second *command with an invariant* the
//! kernel has, and the only one whose write spans two streams
//! ([`EventStore::append_if_many`]): the child's `session_opened` and
//! `budget_granted` land on the child's stream in the same transaction as the
//! `budget_reserved` on this one, or a `budget_refused` lands here and no
//! child is opened at all.  Both streams are in one database, which is
//! checked before anything is written — an allocation that could half-land
//! would leave units in neither ledger.
//!
//! The session holds nothing afterwards.  There is no list of children here,
//! no pointer to a parent, and no cascade: what the kernel knows about the
//! structure is in the log — `session_opened.data.parent` on the child, and
//! the child's stream named on the parent's ledger entry — and a supervisor
//! reads it back with a query.  A close *records* the children that had not
//! ended ([`Session::close`], `session_closed.data.open_children`) inside the
//! same write as the boundary, and lands anyway: the log never refuses a
//! write, and what to do about a subtree that outlived its root is a
//! decision, which is not the kernel's to take.
//!
//! # Stored shape change ⇒ upcaster
//!
//! Every read a session makes — the restore fold, the view folds, `events`,
//! the balance fold — goes through the read-time upcaster chain
//! ([`super::event_store::kernel_upcasters`]), so a log written under an
//! older shape reads as the current one and the stored bytes are never
//! rewritten.  The chain is empty until the first release, because there is
//! no released shape to read yet; from then on, a round that changes what is
//! stored ships the matching `n → n+1` step in the same breath.  See the
//! [`super::event_store`] module docs.
//!
//! That is a property of the types here, not a rule to remember: a session
//! holds a [`CurrentStore`] and never a bare backend, so every event it hands
//! to a fold — or out through [`Session::events`] — is a
//! [`Current`](super::event_store::Current), and a read that skipped the
//! chain has no way to reach one.
//!
//! An append does not charge.  It is a record of something that happened,
//! and the budget is a quota: [`Session::reserve`] is a deduction that
//! refuses when the balance is short, [`Session::spend`] is a deduction that
//! does not ask.  They are independent — nothing is held and nothing is
//! released, so a beat that calls both deducts twice — and the layer that
//! knows what a call costs picks.  Folding the budget into the append is what
//! turned it into a flag that only stands up once the allowance is already
//! gone; the balance and what a run actually consumed (a query view over the
//! recorded `llm_response` payloads, on the Lua side) are independent
//! readings and neither is the other's ledger.
//!
//! # The budget is in the log, and nowhere else
//!
//! Every move of the balance is an event — `budget_granted` when an owner
//! allows, `budget_reserved` / `budget_refused` at the decision point,
//! `budget_spent` for a deduction that did not ask — written through the same
//! store.  The
//! balance is not session-local state that dies with the process, and it is
//! not a number kept beside the log either: it *is*
//! [`super::budget::fold_balance`] over the stream, which is why
//! [`Session::remaining`] is right on a stream more than one handle writes
//! to.  Reading it is cheap because the fold is cached against the store's
//! head and retaken only when the head has moved; nothing but that fold ever
//! sets it.  Those kinds are the kernel's alone to write
//! ([`super::event::is_kernel_only`]) — [`Session::append`] refuses them
//! from a caller, because writing one is moving the account.
//!
//! The kernel writes the session's own boundaries through the same append:
//! [`Session::new`] appends `session_opened` and [`Session::close`] appends
//! `session_closed`, so a session is bracketed in the history whether or not
//! the shell remembers to say so.  After a close, *this handle's* `append` /
//! `reserve` / `spend` are errors while reads keep working — the record
//! outlives the session, and another handle's writes go on landing in it.
//!
//! What ends a session is [`close`], and only [`close`] writes the
//! `session_closed` that says so: the flag and the event are set on one
//! path, so a handle's state and what it wrote cannot disagree.  Taking that
//! path twice on one handle writes once, because the flag is already set the
//! second time.
