//! Sessions: the isolated tree a change is made in, and what outlives it.
//!
//! Every session cuts a **private clone** from an execution checkout and hands out
//! one **worktree** from that clone. Git's worktree registry, ref store, and
//! internal locks all belong to one clone, so sessions that shared a clone would
//! share the machinery that adds and removes worktrees — and one session's cleanup
//! could then reach a live sibling's tree. A clone per session removes the sharing
//! rather than the mutual exclusion.
//!
//! The clone is `--shared --no-checkout`: it borrows the lender's object store
//! through `objects/info/alternates` and populates no working tree of its own, so
//! it costs little more than its refs. Because a live session reads its history out
//! of the lender, every execution checkout borrowed from has automatic gc disabled
//! and unreachable objects pinned — nothing the lender does on its own can drop an
//! object a borrower needs.
//!
//! What it borrows is objects and not *refs*: cloning from a local path maps the
//! lender's local branches into the clone's `refs/remotes/origin/*`, so origin's own
//! refs — which are what a session is cut at or continued from, and what every diff
//! of it afterwards is addressed from — are copied over separately, by
//! [`git::carry_remote_refs`].
//!
//! A clone is disposable, so anything that must outlive it — a preserved branch, a
//! pushed branch, a recovery attestation — is copied back into the execution
//! checkout, which stays the durable record every later session reads.
