+- **Session** — the same choices as a scheduled job: the job's own session
+  (default), a new one per run (`--stateless`), or an existing root session
+  (`--session`, below).
+- **How an event enters the session** — each request body becomes a
+  message in the session, marked as data. `--prompt` is optional on a
+  webhook job: left out, a run delivers the events alone (and run-now has
+  nothing to run). Session idle → a new turn starts.
+  A user's turn running in it → the events join that turn at its next step,
+  and its reply is what the run pushes.
+  Session held by another owner (a relay or A2A task, another job's run) →
+  the events stay pending and run once it releases the session. Events that
+  arrive while the job's own run is in flight join that run.
+- **Delivery** — the sender authenticates with
+  `Authorization: Bearer <secret>`, or as a GitHub webhook with the secret
+  as its secret (`X-Hub-Signature-256`). Dedupe key: `X-GitHub-Delivery`
+  (GitHub sets it), `Idempotency-Key` or `X-Request-Id`; without one, the

+  whose run failed runs again. Responses: `202` accepted · `200` duplicate,
+  or GitHub `ping` (no run) · `404` wrong secret or unknown job · `409` job
+  disabled · `413` body over 1 MB · `429` 100 events already pending.
+- **Limits** — root sessions only; no active window. The run timeout
+  (`--timeout-sec`, below; 60–21600 s) stops the session — on a picked
+  session, that is the user's conversation. The body is always data to the agent,
+  never instructions: put what to do in `--prompt`. A session that has
+  taken webhook events never gets an evolution patch auto-approved (it goes
+  to review).
