+# Session metadata store
+
+OpenChamber-owned per-session metadata for Host features that used to live on
+OpenCode `session.metadata`.
+
+## Why
+
+Session goal progress, Host archive stamps, and later other Host state under the
+`openchamber` namespace are OpenChamber product state. The Host owns their
+authority: it serializes conditional writes, publishes only persisted values,
+and protects archive fields from generic patches. They therefore live in this
+Host store and are folded back onto proxy session list/detail/SSE responses so
+clients still read `session.metadata` and `time.archived`.
+
+Upstream capability is tracked per version and does not change that ownership:
+
+| OpenCode client | Session metadata update |
+|---|---|
+| Earlier 2.x releases used during the migration | `metadata` accepted at create time only |
+| 2.0.14 | `PATCH /api/session/:id` with body `{ title, metadata, permissions }` (`session.update`) |
+
+Adopting the upstream update API for Host-owned fields requires a separate
+decision about authority, conditional writes, and archive protection.
+
+## Layout
+
+| File | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `session-metadata-store.js` | Durable store: one JSON file per data dir, `{ [sessionID]: metadata }`, RFC 7386 merge patch, full RMW serialization, refuse-failed-read refuses write/read-as-empty |
+| `session-projection.js` | Pure Host authority projection (metadata deep-merge + archive → `time.archived`) |
+| `session-archive.js` | Domain archive/unarchive: validate upstream session + directory, persist, project, best-effort index/broadcast |
+| `system-session.js` | Isolation patches for system session creators: `buildScheduledTaskMetadata`, `buildLlmSessionMetadata`, `buildAssistantSessionMetadata`. Title prefixes are labels and never ownership. |
+| `routes.js` | `PUT .../metadata`, `PUT .../archive`, re-exports store/archive/projection |
+| `*.d.ts` | Sibling type surfaces for Extension Host (`packages/vscode` facades) — runtime stays in `.js` |
+| `*.test.js` | Store + route + archive contracts |
+
+## Contracts
+
+- Writes are JSON Merge Patch (RFC 7386): nested objects merge key-by-key; `null` deletes a key.
+- Mutations are fully serialized (read-merge-write + persist) so concurrent writers cannot lose neighbors.
+- Committed `entries` update **only after** successful persist — concurrent readers never observe uncommitted drafts. Persist failure keeps the last committed snapshot and surfaces the error.
+- `mutateSessionMetadata(sessionID, decide)` runs `decide(committedMetadata)` on the same exclusive lock. Return `{ ok: false, reason? }` to reject without writing, or `{ ok: true, patch }` to merge-persist-publish. Session-goal uses this for generation/status preconditions.
+- Goal-shaped metadata PUT patches advance `openchamber.goal.executionGeneration` via `withGoalExecutionGeneration` inside the mutate lock (pause/resume/condition changes).
+- A failed or **corrupt** file read is **not** empty success — the store stays unwritable, keeps the file, and throws; it does not overwrite unknown disk state with `{}`.
+- Entries are keyed by `sessionID` only (not directory). Runtime isolation is the Host data dir. Multiple Hosts sharing one data file are outside the current contract.
+- Generic metadata patches **cannot** wipe Host archive: `openchamber.archive` is stripped from the patch and restored after merge (including null ancestor deletes). Archive writes use `setSessionMetadata(..., { allowArchive: true })`.
+- Host archive authority (`metadata.openchamber.archive.archivedAt`):
+  - positive number → archived (`time.archived` = that value)
+  - `0` → explicit unarchive (clears `time.archived` even if upstream still has history)
+  - missing → fall back to upstream `time.archived`
+- `PUT /api/openchamber/sessions/:sessionId/archive` body `{ archivedAt: number, directory?: string }` returns `{ session, index? }`. Validates upstream id + directory (`location.directory` first). Does not mutate upstream `created`/`updated`. Metadata commit is authoritative; `index: { ok: false, retryable: true }` is observable when SQLite apply fails after commit (`retryIndexUpdate` / `getIndexRepairStatus`).
+- When the Host store is wired, proxy list/get return **503 retryable** on metadata read failure (never silent un-overlaid upstream). Until the store is ready, session lifecycle SSE/hub frames are suppressed; transcript/message paths stay open. Hub `replayAfter` re-projects with **current** committed metadata.
+- Successful proxy `DELETE /api/session/:id` and assistant SDK delete run idempotent `forgetSession`; `session.deleted` remains compensatory. Upstream delete failure keeps metadata.
+- Successful metadata `PUT` may broadcast `openchamber:session-metadata` with the **full** merged metadata object.
+- Successful archive broadcasts `session.updated` with projected `info` (global UI + openchamber SSE).
+- `session.deleted` events best-effort `removeSession` metadata cleanup.
+
+## Server wiring
+
+Wired from `packages/web/server/index.js` + `feature-routes-runtime.js`:
+
+1. `createSessionMetadataStore({ dataDir: OPENCHAMBER_DATA_DIR })` + initial `load()`
+2. proxy `getStoredSessionMetadata` / `getStoredSessionMetadataSync` → list/get + direct SSE overlay
+3. global hub `projectOutboundSessionPayload` → live + replay session lifecycle authority
+4. session-index sync `projectSessions` + event-ingest `projectSession` / `onSessionDeleted`
+5. `createSessionArchiveService` after session index exists
+6. session-goal `readSessionMetadata` / `mutateSessionMetadata` / `persistSessionGoal`
+7. `registerSessionMetadataRoutes` (metadata + archive)
+8. assistants `archiveSessionHost` → shared Host archive (not upstream `session.update`)
+9. system session creators persist isolation through `persistSessionMetadata`
+   (`setSessionMetadata` + `openchamber:session-metadata` broadcast) and then
+   `onSystemSessionPersisted` (index upsert that removes the row). Wired from
+   `index.js` into scheduled-task runtime, LLM attachment generate, and
+   Assistant binding create. OpenCode create-time `metadata` is a hint only.
+
+Capability is open (`supported: true`). Manual UI metadata writes, session-goal
+routes, and scheduled-task goal create all persist `openchamber.goal` through
+this store. After first create/resume persist, the server notifies the goal
+runtime with a synthetic `session.updated` so the loop can arm.
+
+Sidebar / session-index / notifications hide a session only when Host metadata
+carries a non-empty `openchamber.assistant.assistantID` (unless
+`assigned.from === 'contact'`), `openchamber.scheduledTask.taskID`,
+`openchamber.smallModel.purpose`, or `openchamber.llm.purpose`. Title prefixes
+are human labels and never participate. Every system session creator must
+persist the matching patch through this store.
