- * Encode an agent/thread id into a single safe path segment via base64url.
- *
- * Injective over well-formed strings — distinct ids map to distinct segments —
- * for two reasons a lossy `[^A-Za-z0-9._-] → _` collapse got wrong: (1) it
- * aliased distinct threads (`a/b` and `a?b` both became `a_b`), so one chat
- * could read/overwrite another's session context and share its serialize-queue
- * key; (2) it passed `.` / `..` through untouched, so a threadId of `..` escaped
- * the `session-context/` dir. base64url's alphabet is `[A-Za-z0-9_-]` — no `.`
- * and no `/` — so an encoded segment can never be `..` or contain a separator.
- *
- * **Caveat — not injective over lone (unpaired) UTF-16 surrogates.** The `utf8`
- * transcode replaces an unpaired surrogate with U+FFFD before encoding, so e.g.
- * `"\uD800"` and `"\uD801"` collide. A non-issue in practice (agent/thread ids
- * are UUIDs / gateway-issued ids, always well-formed); closing it would mean an
- * encoding change that re-orphans every existing sidecar. Documented, not
- * silently absolute. Byte-identical to the Claude / OpenAI harness copies.
+ * Encode an agent/thread id into one safe path segment via base64url. Injective

+ * separator, and punctuation-only-distinct ids (`a/b` vs `a?b`) never alias.
