+## Breaking live-progress API
+
+The S4 offset/append contract replaces cumulative progress frames:
+
+- `progress` frames carry `SessionProgressDelta`, with separate text and
+  thinking `{ offset, append }` channels. Offsets count UTF-16 code units.
+- `SessionProgress` is the bounded snapshot shape and now requires `textOffset`
+  and `thinkingOffset`, alongside its truncation flags.
+- `appendSessionProgress(current, delta)` is the new shared fold for progress
+  frames. Seed it from the **same watch's `snapshot.progress`**, replace it on a
+  reset, and retain it across unrelated updates until the message completes or
+  the queue becomes idle. A separate earlier `read()` is not a watch baseline.
+- The visitor stream sends live `activity` frames as well as `progress` frames.
+  An activity frame updates activity facts; it is not a replacement snapshot.
+
+All producers and consumers must use this contract together. There is no
+cumulative-frame compatibility format.
