Review size (size:exception, agreed with @barbatdev): this slice changes 358 code lines (345 added / 13 removed, all in the controller) plus 617 test lines. The tests are what make this slice reviewable on its own. GitHub's Files tab shows the cumulative diff with #1918/#1919/#1922/#1948 until they merge; review only commit cf0457661.

Why it is not split further: captureForkEvidence, detach and attach share one invariant: failed-append quarantine and copied-path uncertainty must survive reload and fork. Shipping one seam without the others would leave a window where a fork or reattach drops quarantine and adopts a failed "ghost" entry. The tests stay with the code because they pin that invariant.

Summary

Part of #1064, slice 3b-i, PR 4b (lifecycle seams). Builds on the append controller from #1948.

  • captureForkEvidence: captures quarantine and copied-path uncertainty so a forked session starts with the same evidence, without restoring unwritten activation.
  • detach / attach: let the controller survive reload. Quarantine and uncertainty carry over; callbacks are never transferred to the new session.
  • Reuses the shared isSessionProfileFamilyEntry and hasSessionProfileCandidateMetadata predicates from feat(profiles): add session profile append controller with failure quarantine #1948 instead of duplicating them.
  • Out of scope: authority publication, Enter persistence wiring, UI/status/launch, fsync durability, history repair.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Session profile state now carries across detachments and reattachments, including when working with forked sessions.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Failed or untrusted profile entries are kept separate from trusted entries, preventing them from replacing established profile data.
    • Stale session operations are blocked after detachment, and successful appends are recognized only when the expected profile record is saved.

Walkthrough

The change adds session-profile v1 bind and clear payloads, branch replay, and a read-only disk corroboration reader. It adds a controller for append outcomes and fork handoffs, with tests for persistence, recovery, branch selection, and attachment behavior.

Changes: Session profile persistence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Profile payloads and replay
lib/session-profile-persistence.ts, lib/model-routing-authority.ts, docs/session-profile-format.md, tests/session-profile-persistence.test.ts
Adds v1 bind and clear payload creation and validation, model-routing snapshot normalization, and replay that selects the newest profile-family entry. The documentation describes payload, replay, and disk-reader contracts.
Disk-backed profile reads
lib/session-profile-disk-reader.ts, tests/session-profile-disk-reader.test.ts, tests/session-profile-disk-reader-pi.test.ts
Adds a read-only reader that selects an eligible active-branch entry and verifies it against JSONL data. Tests cover result statuses, malformed or mismatched data, branch selection, and session-manager behavior.
Append authority and attachment lifecycle
lib/session-profile-append-controller.ts, tests/session-profile-append-controller.test.ts, tests/session-profile-append-controller-pi.test.ts
Adds bind and clear append outcome tracking based on branch stability and disk evidence. Tests cover preflush state, append failures, recovery, quarantine, and detach/attach behavior.
Fork evidence and handoff
lib/session-profile-append-controller.ts, tests/session-profile-append-controller-fork.test.ts
Adds fork-path evidence capture, one-time handoffs, and destination validation during attachment. Tests cover fork boundaries, copied-record changes, and rejected handoffs.

Add setup for the "mismatch" fault case.

Both fault loops list "mismatch". Neither loop has a branch that sets up that fault. In the "mismatch" case, the disk text stays the valid file that the earlier bind("old") wrote. The test then only covers selected-record-missing for the new unwritten record. The "missing" case covers a missing file. No case puts a disk record with the same ID but different content in front of the controller.

The test name says the established mismatched-disk case has coverage. It does not. Corrupt the old record on disk so the reader returns selected-record-mismatch before the append. In the second loop, the later f.save() repairs the corrupted record, so the recovery assertions still apply.

🧪 Proposed setup for the mismatch fault (apply in both loops)
   if (fault === "unreadable") f.text = "unreadable";
+  if (fault === "mismatch")
+   f.text = f.text!.replace('"name":"old"', '"name":"tampered"');
   if (fault === "wrong-session")
    f.text = JSON.stringify({ type: "session", id: "wrong" });

copied-path uncertainty survive reload and fork without restoring unwritten
activation or transferring callbacks.

Merged #1948 as a squash, so the rest of the chain now carries its changes in the diff and GitHub flags all of them as conflicting. Nothing wrong with the content, it is just how squash handles stacked branches. Could you rebase the remaining five (#1984 through #1993) onto main in one pass like you did on the 23rd? I will keep merging them in order as they come back green.

Done — all five (#1984 through #1993) are rebased onto main in one pass and pushed. I dropped the four #1948 commits each branch was still carrying (verified the squash matches them byte for byte), so each PR now holds only its own commits, and GitHub reports all five as mergeable.

Heads-up on CI: the full suite on the chain tip has 22 failing unit tests, but the same ones already fail on a clean origin/main (26 there), mostly bundled install/uninstall and review/symlink tests — none in profiles. So if a red check shows up, it's coming from main rather than the chain.

Merged as squash 2d1d3a4e. The fork handoff token and the fail-closed destination validation are exactly the invariants this chain needed pinned, and the tests around copied quarantine read really well.

One heads-up for the next slices: on the clean main side there are a few pre-existing unit failures (bundled install and review/symlink tests) that also show up on the chain, so a red check there is main, not the profiles work.

Next in line is #1990.
