-- examples/session_chat.lua

-- Single-shot CLI invocation that participates in a persistent conversation.
-- Run multiple times with the same AGENT_ID and the agent will remember the
-- prior turns:
--
-- agent-block --prompt "my name is alice" -s examples/session_chat.lua
-- agent-block --prompt-file ./prompt.txt -s examples/session_chat.lua
-- AGENT_ID=alice AGENT_PROMPT="my name is alice" agent-block -s examples/session_chat.lua # deprecated: use --prompt / --prompt-file
-- AGENT_ID=alice AGENT_PROMPT="what is my name?" agent-block -s examples/session_chat.lua
-- AGENT_ID=alice agent-block -s examples/session_chat.lua -- clear # wipe thread
--
-- The session block round-trips r.messages via std.kv (SQLite-backed,
-- persists across runs). Trimming / compaction is a caller concern — see
-- the optional trim_last_n example below.
