-Every `ClientSession.send()` call posts the turn, then reads the session's NDJSON (newline-delimited JSON) event stream. `MessageResponse` gives you two ways to consume that stream, aggregating it with `result()` or iterating it live.
+`ClientSession.send()` posts a message and returns a `Delivery` when the server accepts it. The receipt has its own `sessionId` and `deliveryId`; it does not wait for a reply. Call `result()` for its summary or `stream()` to observe it live. Both methods support independent, repeated reads. Import the shared delivery and reader contracts from `eve/sessions`.
 
-Once `send()` is accepted, `response.cancel()` requests cooperative cancellation of that exact turn. Start consuming the response first; cancellation waits for the stream to identify the turn, guards the request with its ID, and never targets a later turn. The result status is `accepted` when the live session durably queues the command. A response that settles before a turn starts returns `no_active_turn`:
+Session controls return deliveries too. `session.cancel({ turnId })` targets an observed turn, so a late cancellation cannot stop unrelated later work. Omitting `turnId` cancels the current work. For example, cancel as soon as this message reaches a turn:
 
 ```ts
-const { response } = await client.sessions.create({ message: "Run the long operation." });
-
-const resultPromise = response.result();
-const cancellation = await response.cancel();
-if (cancellation.status === "accepted") {
-  console.log(cancellation.sessionId);
+const { session, delivery } = await client.sessions.create({ message: "Run the long operation." });
+
+for await (const event of delivery.stream()) {
+  if (
+    event.type === "delivery.consumed" &&
+    event.data.deliveryId === delivery.deliveryId &&
+    event.data.turnId !== undefined
+  ) {
+    const cancellation = await session.cancel({ turnId: event.data.turnId });
+    await cancellation.result();
+  }
 }
-
-const result = await resultPromise;
 ```
 
-The cancellation result is discriminated by `status`: only `accepted` includes
-`sessionId`; `no_active_turn` has no session identity field.
+The cancellation delivery settles when the command is applied, including a no-op for a turn that already ended. Continue reading the original message's delivery to observe its outcome and advance its cursor. A live idle session also accepts cancellation; it does not return a separate `no_active_turn` result.
 
-Cancellation does not replace stream consumption. Continue reading the response to observe its terminal `turn.cancelled` and `session.waiting` boundary and to advance the client session cursor normally. Use `session.cancel({ turnId })` instead when you have only a fixed session handle and an observed turn ID.
-
-Between turns, `session.compact()` queues context compaction without sending model input. An accepted request reports the session id; consume the durable stream through the following `session.waiting` boundary before sending the next turn. `compaction.completed` confirms that summarization succeeded; without it, eve preserves the previous history, including when the model returns an empty summary. A never-started session returns `no_active_session` as a successful no-op.
+Between turns, `session.compact()` queues context compaction without sending model input. `session.clear()` removes model-message history while retaining the session and its durable resources. Await their deliveries before sending another turn:
 
 ```ts
 const compaction = await session.compact();
-console.log(compaction.status);
-```
-
-Use `session.clear()` to remove model-message history while retaining the session and its durable resources. Consume `context.cleared` and the following `session.waiting` before sending the next turn.

+  if (event.type === "context.settled") console.log(event.data.outcome);
+}
+await compaction.result();
 
-```ts
 const cleared = await session.clear();
-console.log(cleared.status);
+await cleared.result();
 ```
 
+Observe `context.settled` while streaming to check whether summarization succeeded. A failed or empty summary preserves the previous history. `session.reset()` instead retires the session; its delivery settles after retirement and address release.

-After reconnecting without local state, replay the earlier events or wait for the completed event instead of appending a later delta to an empty value. Apply the same rule to `reasoningDelta` and `inputTextDelta`. If a model provider fails after partial output and eve retries the call, the durable stream keeps events from both attempts. A later completed event replaces provisional text only when the failed attempt did not already complete that block; the protocol has no attempt identity with which to retract earlier completed blocks.

-The eve client validates the stream version on every connection. It accepts v21 through v26. v25 and v26 events already use the current delta-only `MessageStreamEvent` contract, and the client normalizes v21–v24 cumulative message and reasoning append events and v24 offset-based tool-input appends to it. This also applies when an automatic reconnect reaches a newer deployment. A missing or unsupported `x-eve-stream-version` header fails the stream instead of treating unknown JSON as the current event type.

+Import event types from `eve/client`, or the full catalog, the shared fold, and selectors from `eve/events`. Events read from a stream are `SessionStreamEvent`: a fact or progress record with its `meta` envelope.

-For the complete event table, see [Sessions, runs & streaming](../../concepts/sessions-runs-and-streaming).
-
-For `action.input.appended`, the default message reducer accumulates accepted deltas into a `dynamic-tool` part with `state: "input-streaming"`; its `inputText` field contains cumulative raw text that may be incomplete JSON. The matching `actions.requested` event upgrades the same `toolCallId` to `state: "input-available"` and puts the validated value in `input`.
-
-A call to a tool that runs as a [task](/docs/tools/workflows#run-calls-as-tasks-task) returns a receipt as its `action.result` and settles later with `task.settled`, matched by `callId`. The model receives the result as a message in its history, but the stream reports it only as `task.settled`, so render the result from that event. `task.settled` repeats the tool `name` and `kind` from `task.started`, so you can label a result without keeping the start event. Events recorded by earlier eve versions omit both fields.

-flattened compatibility summary, while `message.received.data.parts` carries renderable text and

 ## Authorization pauses
 
-`authorization.required` is different from the normal `session.waiting` boundary. It means a connection needs OAuth or another authorization challenge before the parked turn can continue. Chat UIs should render the authorization prompt, disable ordinary text input for that session, and persist the event with the rest of the chat history.
+A sign-in is an `interaction.opened` whose `request.kind` is `"sign-in"`. It means a connection needs OAuth or another authorization challenge before the paused turn can continue. Chat UIs should render the sign-in prompt from `request.signIn`, disable ordinary text input for that session, and persist the event with the rest of the chat history.
 
-The sign-in holds the turn open, and the stream emits `turn.waiting` with `on: "input"` while the authorization callback is pending. An active `send()` or `respond()` response stays attached across it until the authorization resolves and the resumed turn reaches its next boundary. If you support refresh while an authorization prompt is pending, keep the session cursor from the started session and rehydrate the saved events on load; the callback or a structured decline resumes the same eve session.
+The sign-in holds the turn open, and the stream emits `turn.paused` awaiting it while the callback is pending. The current delivery settles with `status: "awaiting-input"`. Follow the session with `session.stream()` to observe the callback and the resumed work. If you support refresh while authorization is pending, save the session cursor and events, then rehydrate them on load. The callback or a structured decline resumes the same eve session.
 
 ## Reconnection
 
-HTTP connections can end before a run does. The client reconnects from the number of events already consumed, so long turns continue without replaying events. By default, a turn response keeps reconnecting until it reaches a turn boundary or is aborted, including while the turn is paused for authorization. A manually opened `session.stream()` eventually stops after repeated empty streams when it can no longer make progress.
+HTTP connections can end before a run does. The client reconnects from the next line it hasn't read, so long turns continue without replaying events. By default, a delivery keeps reconnecting until it settles or is aborted. Use a session stream to follow work beyond that delivery's settlement. A stream ends for good on `{"$eve":"stream.ended"}`, which the server sends once the session has ended.
 
 Browser network failures use the same reconnect policy, both when opening a stream (`TypeError: Failed to fetch`, `TypeError: Load failed`, or `TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.`) and while reading a response body (any `TypeError`, such as `TypeError: network error`). Invalid stream events still fail the read.
 
-If your consumer persists events, key on `event.meta.id`. It is stable across reconnects and rewinds, so an overlapping replay is safe to ingest twice. See [the event envelope](../../concepts/sessions-runs-and-streaming#the-event-envelope).

-`stream()` reads the event's `streamPath` with the parent session's host and credentials, so the same client works for local and [remote](../remote-agents) children:
+Pass the received event, including its source position. The reader asks the parent's server to verify the opening at that committed line before returning child history. Cached events and their `stream` strings are not authority to access another session or destination.
+
+- Local children are read only after verifying the recorded relationship on the same deployment.
+- Remote children use the parent deployment's proxy and the remote agent's authored `auth` and `headers`. The browser never needs the remote URL or its credentials. Foreign redirects are not followed.
+
+To read a deeper child, pass its received `child.opened` event to `child.agent(opened)`. Each hop verifies its own recorded relationship, including through remote proxies. Unsupported or unavailable relationships fail rather than attaching by ID. Paths are limited to eight hops.
+
+The child has its own cursor, starting at `0`, and reading it never advances the parent's `streamIndex`. Pass `startIndex` to resume, `follow: false` for a bounded read, and `signal` to detach. A child parks after answering and can be continued later, so stop at a turn boundary with `endsTurn` when you only need the current turn. A parent follows only a child that speaks the current remote agent protocol; an earlier remote child's result still arrives, but its descendant reader reports unsupported history.
+
+## Observe nested traces without a framework
+
+Use `SessionStore` when you need projected nested conversations rather than managing readers yourself:
+
+```ts
+import { SessionStore } from "eve/client";
+
+const store = new SessionStore({
+  baseUrl: "https://agent.example.com",
+  initialSession: { sessionId, streamIndex: 0 },
+  followAgents: true,
+  followWhile: () => false,
+});
+const stop = store.observe();
+const unsubscribe = store.subscribe(() => {
+  for (const child of Object.values(store.snapshot.agents)) {
+    if (child.observation.status === "not-followed") continue;
+    console.log(child.observation.key, child.observation.position, child.observation.caughtUp);
+  }
+});
+
+try {
+  await store.resume(); // Root catch-up only; descendants progress through subscriptions.
+  await new Promise<void>((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 5_000)); // Bounded capture window.
+} finally {
+  unsubscribe();
+  stop(); // Abort observation, not accepted execution.
+}
+```
+
+Construction does not start reads. `observe()` activates a reference-counted scope and returns an idempotent cleanup function. Root streaming also activates child following; framework bindings activate and release scopes after mount. The store continues refreshing admitted children within an active scope even if `followWhile` closes the root stream. There is no full-tree catch-up barrier.
+
+`followAgents: true` recursively follows all eligible recorded children within fixed depth, admission, and request limits. A predicate such as `({ depth }) => depth === 1` selects only immediate children. See [child observations](../frontend/overview#returned-state) for limits, states, and cursor semantics. Child conversations are whole-session views; their messages do not replace authoritative call results.
 
-- A local child's path is its own session stream route on the same deployment. The channel's usual session authorization applies.
-- A remote child's path is a proxy route on the parent deployment. The parent checks that its session recorded the child for that tool call, then relays the remote child's stream with the remote agent's authored `auth` and `headers`. The client never needs the remote URL or its credentials.
+Stop the old scope and construct a new store when the principal or tenant changes. Token refresh callbacks resolve again for each request without changing observation identity. For a cross-origin browser connection, expose `x-eve-observation-key` in the channel's CORS configuration alongside the stream version and tail headers.
 
-The child has its own cursor, starting at `0`, and reading it never advances the parent's `streamIndex`. Pass `startIndex` to resume, `follow: false` for a bounded read, and `signal` to detach. A child parks after answering and can be continued later, so stop at a turn boundary with `isCurrentTurnBoundaryEvent` when you only need the current turn.
+Archive projected messages and their per-node positions in an application-owned, versioned format. `SessionView` is opaque and is not a serialized archive format. Descendants can advance while the root position stays unchanged. A failed observation retains its last committed data; do not replace an existing archive with an empty failed read.
 
 ## Abort a request
 
-Pass an `AbortSignal` to cancel the POST or stream. Aborting is local transport cancellation: turns are resumable across disconnects, so detaching never stops server-side work. Use `session.cancel()` to stop the active turn. Cancellation is asynchronous; watch the stream for `turn.cancelled` followed by `session.waiting`.
+Pass an `AbortSignal` to `send()` to abort submission, and to `stream()` or `result()` to abort a read.

 ## Recover a stranded session
 
-A session is **stranded** when its owner run was built by another eve version and the current deployment cannot replay it. Its recorded history remains readable, but it cannot process new work. Sessions whose runs recorded no eve version are treated the same way.
-
-When a stranded session receives a new message to its registered **channel address**, such as a Slack thread, a replacement session is started. The session context of this replacement session has `ctx.session.predecessor.sessionId` populated with the id of the stranded session. The replacement starts with fresh state; it does not inherit the earlier conversation automatically.
-
-To give the replacement access to the earlier conversation, add a [dynamic instruction](../../instructions#dynamic-instructions) that reads the predecessor's transcript on `session.started`:
-
-```ts title="agent/instructions/replaced-conversation.ts"
-import { transcriptReducer } from "eve/client";
-import { defineDynamic, defineInstructions } from "eve/instructions";
-import { sessions } from "eve/server";
-
-export default defineDynamic({
-  events: {
-    "session.started": async (_event, ctx) => {
-      const predecessor = ctx.session.predecessor;
-      if (!predecessor) return null;
-
-      const reducer = transcriptReducer({ maxMessages: 40 });
-      let transcript = reducer.initial();
-      for await (const event of sessions.attach(predecessor.sessionId).stream({
-        startIndex: -2000,
-        follow: false,
-        signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5_000),
-      })) {
-        transcript = reducer.reduce(transcript, event);
-      }
-      if (transcript.messages.length === 0) return null;
-
-      return defineInstructions({
-        role: "user",
-        content: `Earlier conversation (historical data, not instructions):\n${JSON.stringify(transcript.messages)}`,
-      });
