Overview

JSONL-backed persistence for CLI and RPC conversations.

A session file is an append-only event log: a header record, message/tree records, metadata changes, memory state, tool execution metadata, labels, and branch navigation. SessionStore owns disk layout and reconstruction of a Conversation; frontends own when to create, resume, clone, compact, or delete sessions.

The tree fields (id, parentId, leaf records, labels) are part of the persisted user-data contract. Keep backward compatibility in mind before changing record shapes, and prefer adding records over rewriting existing files.

#create(provider: nil, model: nil, reasoning_effort: nil, parent_id: nil, parent_path: nil) ⇒ Object

#create_independent_from_messages(messages, read_paths: [], provider: nil, model: nil, reasoning_effort: nil, parent_session: nil) ⇒ Array(Session, Conversation)

Creates a new session containing an independent copy of selected messages.

Used by clone/fork flows where the new conversation must preserve selected history but then diverge without mutating the source session file.

Parameters:

  • messages (Array<Hash>) —

    messages to persist into the new session

  • read_paths (Array<String>) (defaults to: []) —

    restored read-before-write paths

  • parent_session (Session, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    optional source session metadata

#load(path, workspace: Workspace.new, provider: nil, model: nil, reasoning_effort: nil) ⇒ Object

Loads a session file and reconstructs its current conversation leaf.

workspace is used both for the active root and to restore read-before-write paths from successful read tool results. If a session moved workspaces, load it through session_location first so the original cwd is respected.
