+/**
+ * Where each of this device's sessions had got to in each conversation, and the
+ * plan for re-reading what an expired cursor swallowed.
+ *
+ * ## Why a position per (session, conversation), not per conversation
+ *
+ * Recovery re-reads a conversation **as one named session**: the device-scoped
+ * catch-up endpoint answers with that session's own view, because participation
+ * — and therefore what a session is allowed to see — is per agent. One shared
+ * per-conversation position could not survive that. Two sessions on one machine
+ * in one room advance independently, and a single position tracks whichever was
+ * ahead, so a recovery for the session that was behind would start past messages
+ * it never received. The cursor is cleared immediately afterwards, so those
+ * messages are not late: they are gone.
+ *
+ * Two local sessions in one room is the ordinary shape of a developer's machine,
+ * not an exotic one. It is the same family as the multi-session event loss fixed
+ * server-side in the fan-out, on the recovery path instead of the poll path.
+ *
+ * ## Why an absent position is not "start at now"
+ *
+ * A live session the relay holds no position for is the dangerous case: skipping
+ * it silently re-baselines that session at the moment of the 409, which is
+ * exactly the gap the whole 409 contract exists to close. So an unknown pair
+ * falls back to the room's **floor** — the oldest position any session still
+ * holds there. Anything older than that was already handed to some session, and
+ * because the server enqueues one message to every participating agent in the
+ * same tick, a session present at that point would hold a position of its own.
+ * The floor is therefore a tight bound rather than "the beginning of time", and
+ * re-reading a little too much costs nothing: deliveries are de-duplicated
+ * downstream on (session, message id).
