Overview

Mutable transcript and runtime context for one agent session.

Conversation owns message ordering, system prompt refresh, read-before-write state, memory prompt context, and persistence hooks. It intentionally stores plain hashes because provider payload builders, session JSONL files, and RPC normalizers all share the same transcript shape. Use MessageAccess when reading messages so symbol/string key and legacy field compatibility stays in one place.

Frontends should not mutate messages directly after attaching a SessionStore::Session; use append/compact helpers so persistence callbacks run and session trees stay consistent.

end

#compact!(summary, compaction_summary: false, first_kept_entry_id: nil, tokens_before: nil, from_hook: false, details: {}, keep_messages: []) ⇒ Object

Replaces most transcript entries with a compaction summary and optional recent messages to keep.

Compaction clears read-before-write state because file contents observed before the summary may no longer be represented exactly in the active context. Callers that need file mutation after compaction should read files again through the normal tools.
