+# STRUCTURED-VIEW.md — the structured session contract
+
+The contract for a structured session (`view: Structured`, #133): an agent run
+as a daemon child over the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) instead of in a tmux
+pane. Alongside `docs/WORKTREES.md`, `docs/SIDEBAR.md` and `docs/RESTART.md`,
+read this before changing anything that renders a structured session — both
+the web and TUI renderers are written against it.
+
+It covers the eight transcript row kinds, what the daemon decides versus what
+a client decides, the two projections and their delta/cursor semantics, the
+ACP handshake and the capabilities it declines, the adapter's install
+command, and the approval nonce rules. **Non-goal: the detached runner.** It
+does not exist yet, and nothing here describes it.
+
+## What a structured session is
+
+A terminal session's agent runs inside a tmux pane; a structured session's
+agent runs as a subprocess of the daemon itself, speaking ACP over stdio. The
+daemon is the ACP **client**; the provider adapter process is the ACP
+**agent**. It translates the provider's events into ACP `session/update`
+notifications instead of drawing them to a pane. `crates/maestro-acp` owns the
+daemon's side of that connection;
+`crates/maestro-daemon/src/projection.rs` folds what it receives into the two
+projections below.
+
+The child is a real child of the daemon process: same process group, and on
+Linux marked with `PR_SET_PDEATHSIG` so it dies with the daemon even if the
+daemon exits without cleaning up; other platforms have no such signal and
+depend on an orderly shutdown/drop to terminate it. The ordinary path on
+every platform is `AcpSession::terminate` (`session/cancel`, a short grace,
+`SIGTERM`, then `SIGKILL`), called from both `DELETE /api/sessions/:id` and
+daemon shutdown.
+`docs/WORKTREES.md`'s kill-guard rule — an unforced kill refused while the
+session's worktree holds unsaved work — applies to a structured session
+exactly as it does to a terminal one; only what gets terminated differs (an
+ACP handle instead of a tmux pane).
+
+## Choosing the view
+
+`view` is fixed at spawn and never changes. Every client picks it the same
+way, from the resolved command alone
+(`maestro_protocol::display::supports_structured_view`): a command that
+resolves to Claude Code or Codex spawns **Structured** by default, anything
+else spawns **Terminal**. The operator can override the default — the web and
+TUI spawn forms show the checkbox ticked and let it be unticked, and
+`maestro spawn` takes `--terminal` (or `--structured`, which sends the request
+even for a command the CLI does not recognise and lets the daemon refuse it).
+Once the operator works the toggle, a later command change never re-ticks it
+under them; it can still be forced off when the new command has no adapter.
+
+The daemon is the last word: a `Structured` request for a command with no
+adapter is refused there, whichever client sent it.
+
+## The adapter
+
+The resolved structured command selects a provider adapter. Its binary is
+resolved by walking the session's `PATH` when the spawn request sets one, or
+the daemon's `PATH` otherwise, and taking the first executable with that name.
+
+| Command | Adapter binary | Install command | Provider detail |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `claude` | `claude-code-acp` | `npm install -g --prefix ~/.local @zed-industries/claude-code-acp` | Needs a logged-in Claude Code. |
+| `codex` | `codex-acp` | `npm install -g --prefix ~/.local @agentclientprotocol/codex-acp` | Uses Codex CLI or adapter-configured authentication; it advertises model, reasoning-effort, agent-mode, and optional fast-mode configuration. |
+
+The selected install command is baked into `AcpError::AdapterMissing`. When an
+adapter cannot be found, spawn still creates a **Dead** session with that
+command as `activity_detail` (see `docs/INSTALL.md` for the systemd `PATH`
+caveat). Provider authentication failures surface through the adapter's stderr
+tail in the same field.
+
+The handshake is bounded by `HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT` (60s) — long enough for a
+slow machine to boot an adapter and its provider process, never long enough
+to hang a spawn indefinitely. Any handshake failure — missing adapter, early
+exit, a protocol error, or the timeout — leaves no orphaned process: `spawn`
+closes and reaps the child itself before returning the error.
+
+## The ACP handshake
+
+`initialize` is where the daemon states what kind of client it is. It
+declares, deliberately, almost nothing:
+
+| Capability | Declared | Why |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `fs.readTextFile` | `false` | Providers read the session workspace through their own tool surface. |
+| `fs.writeTextFile` | `false` | Providers write the session workspace through their own tool surface. |
+| `terminal` | `false` | Providers run commands through their own tool surface. |
+
+Declining all three keeps the daemon out of the file/terminal surface
+entirely — the adapter already has direct access to the session's `cwd`, and
+routing every read, write, and shell command through the daemon would only
+add a hop with no new capability. Every other capability namespace ACP
+defines (session extensions, auth, elicitation) is simply left at its
+default; the daemon does not advertise support because neither supported
+adapter needs it, not because it was weighed and refused.
+
+The one client method that *is* implemented for real is
+`session/request_permission` (#139) — see [Approvals](#approvals) below.
+Before #139 it was a stub that declined every request; that stub is gone now
+that a live implementation exists.
+
+`session/new` opens a fresh ACP session on every ordinary spawn. A respawn
+after a daemon restart instead sets `SpawnConfig::load_session(id)` and runs
+`session/load` with the ACP session id the original handshake returned
+(`Session::acp_session_id` on the wire) — the adapter must advertise
+`agent_capabilities.load_session`, or the handshake fails outright naming
+that. Whatever history the adapter streams back while `session/load` is in
+flight is dropped on arrival, deliberately: the daemon's own event log
+already holds that history, and forwarding it too would duplicate every row
+in the projections below.
+
+Codex and Claude differ in what they emit, not in this lifecycle. Codex maps
+shell commands, file changes, MCP calls, web search, image generation/view,
+reasoning, plans, and token usage into standard ACP chunks and tool calls;
+those fold into the same eight rows. Codex's `available_commands_update` and
+`session_info_update`, like equivalent Claude updates, remain opaque
+`Notice` rows. Its `session/load` capability is required for daemon recovery
+just as it is for Claude.
+
+## The eight transcript row kinds
+
+`TranscriptRowKind` (`maestro-protocol`) is the alphabet a structured
+transcript is written in. Every row has a stable `id` (so later deltas can
+address it), a `kind`, and a `data: Value` that preserves the underlying ACP
+payload — clients depend on ACP's *shape* without depending on ACP as a
+crate.
+
+| Kind | Carries | Row identity |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `User` | The prompt accepted by Maestro's structured prompt endpoint, persisted before ACP dispatch. An adapter `user_message_chunk` is also supported for imported ACP history. | `user:<uuid>` for a daemon-recorded prompt; `user:<message_id>` or `user:<seq>` for an ACP chunk. |
+| `AgentText` | An `agent_message_chunk` — the agent's visible reply, streamed. | `agent:<message_id>`, or `agent:<seq>` from the first chunk when no id is supplied. Later chunks for the same id—or consecutive anonymous text chunks—are appended into `data.content.text` in place. An empty anonymous chunk starts a fresh row, matching the turn marker emitted by adapters that omit message ids. |
+| `AgentThought` | An `agent_thought_chunk` — the model's reasoning stream. | `thought:<message_id>` / first anonymous `thought:<seq>`, coalesced the same way as `AgentText`. |
+| `ToolCall` | A `tool_call` / `tool_call_update` pair whose content carries no diff. | `tool:<tool_call_id>` — one row for the call's whole life; updates patch it in place, they never create a second row. |
+| `ToolDiff` | The same tool-call machinery, when the tool's content includes a `Diff` block. | Same `tool:<tool_call_id>` identity as `ToolCall`; the *kind* flips between the two as the tool's own content changes, not the row. |
+| `Approval` | A daemon-originated permission request (`RequestPermissionRequest`), serialized without its nonce. | `approval:<uuid>` — minted fresh per request, unrelated to the ACP request's own id. |
+| `Plan` | A `plan` update — the agent's current step list. | The fixed id `"plan"`. Each new plan **replaces** the row wholesale; entries are not diffed against the previous plan. |
+| `Notice` | The raw JSON of any `session/update` variant the ACP dependency already decodes but the projection does not special-case. Maestro also uses a tagged `maestroTurnMeta` notice as the durable footer for a completed, cancelled, or failed turn. | `notice:<seq>` for ACP updates; `turn_meta:<uuid>` for a turn footer. |
+
+`Notice` covers known-but-unspecialized `SessionUpdate` variants: ones the
+`agent-client-protocol` dependency's schema already deserializes (it
+currently folds `available_commands_update` and `session_info_update`
+there) but the projection's `match` doesn't fold into one of the other
+seven kinds. It is not a wire-level forward-compatibility seam:
+`SessionUpdate` is an internally-tagged enum with no unknown-variant
+fallback, so a `session/update` whose `sessionUpdate` tag this build's
+dependency has never heard of — including a variant gated behind an
+unstable ACP feature this build doesn't enable, which is compiled out of
+the enum entirely — fails to deserialize before the projection ever runs,
+rather than becoming a `Notice`. A genuinely new ACP variant needs the
+`agent-client-protocol` dependency upgraded (and, typically, the projection's
+`match` taught about it) before it can appear on this transcript at all — see
+`projection.rs`'s test asserting that an unrecognised `sessionUpdate` tag is a
+deserialization error, not a `Notice`. A client that does not know what to do
+with a `Notice` can still render it as an opaque, collapsed line — that
+remains a reasonable floor, not a client bug.
+
+Rendering is entirely a client concern. The projection's job stops at
+folding ACP into these eight shapes; markdown formatting, diff rendering,
+tool-card treatment, and how a `Notice` is presented are all renderer
+choices, not daemon ones.
+
+## Daemon decisions vs. client decisions
+
+**The daemon decides:**
+
+- Which ACP `session/update` becomes which row kind, and under what id — the
+  fold in `projection.rs` is the one place this logic lives, so the web and
+  TUI renderers can never disagree about it.
+- Turn lifecycle: when a turn begins, and whether an ACP response, a cancel,
+  or a failure ends it (`TurnState.responding` / `.thinking` /
+  `.active_tool_calls` / `.started_at` are derived, not renderer-computed).
+  Ending a turn appends a durable `maestroTurnMeta` footer with its elapsed
+  time, outcome, model, and context-window usage/delta. ACP does not expose
+  provider billing-token counts, so these are explicitly context tokens.
+- Approval nonce minting, secrecy, and the single-active-approval rule (see
+  below) — a client never sees an ACP permission request before the daemon
+  has already turned it into an `Approval` row and a nonce.
+- What happens to an ACP update variant the dependency decodes but nobody has
+  taught the projection to special-case (falls back to `Notice` rather than
+  erroring). A variant the dependency itself can't decode is a deserialization
+  error, not a `Notice` — see [The eight transcript row
+  kinds](#the-eight-transcript-row-kinds).
+- Persistence and replay: what is written to the event log, in what order,
+  and how a restart resumes it.
+
+**A client decides:**
+
+- How each row kind is drawn — markdown for `AgentText`/`AgentThought`, a
+  diff view for `ToolDiff`, a tool card for `ToolCall`, and a floor
+  presentation for `Notice`. `Plan` is the exception: both clients omit it
+  from the transcript; the TUI may show the current plan in its status line,
+  while the web client deliberately has no stats or plan rail.
+- The web client groups two or more tool rows after the same `User` row into
+  one collapsed turn activity block. `AgentText` and `AgentThought` rows that
+  appear *between* tool rows in the same turn are absorbed into the group
+  (intermediate narration); the last `AgentText` with no subsequent tool stays
+  outside as the prominent final answer. While a turn is still active
+  (responding or thinking), the most recent intermediate `AgentText` or
+  `AgentThought` in the group is kept outside as visible narration — replaced
+  by the next text row when one arrives, and absorbed into the group when the
+  turn ends. The header still reads "N tool calls" (counting only tool rows).
+  Opening the group reveals tools and intermediate text in chronological
+  order, with the text rendered in a subdued style.
+- The web client's user, agent, thought, tool-detail, and notice text blocks
+  copy their complete source text when clicked or keyboard-activated.
+- The web client consumes `available_commands_update` notices as the live
+  source for composer `/` autocomplete at any whitespace-delimited token under
+  the caret. Completing a command replaces only that token. The client omits
+  those state-only notices, along with `session_info_update`, from the visible
+  transcript.
+- How live `responding`, `thinking`, tool activity, elapsed time, and context
+  usage are drawn. The web client keeps these in a compact strip above the
+  composer and renders each durable turn footer inline with the transcript.
+- How the operator is asked to resolve an `Approval` row — the daemon only
+  exposes the three-way decision (`AllowOnce` / `AllowForSession` / `Deny`),
+  never the UI that solicits it.
+- Scrolling, collapsing, and every other presentation-only behaviour.
+
+## The two projections
+
+`Projection` (daemon-only) is folded once from the durable ACP stream and
+exposes two independent views, both defined in `maestro-protocol`:
+
+- **`TranscriptSnapshot { cursor, rows }`** — the complete ordered list of
+  transcript rows built so far, plus the log position (`cursor`) it reflects.
+  It is intentionally always the *whole* transcript, not a windowed one: a
+  tool row patched much later must still find its original entry.
+- **`ReducedState`** — one whole-session snapshot folded over every event
+  seen: `turn` (the per-turn indicators above), `pending_approval`, `plan`,
+  `usage`/`context`, `model`, and `mode`. Like `TranscriptSnapshot`, it is
+  always full-history, never a delta — a client that only wants "is a turn
+  active right now" never has to replay anything to answer that.
+
+Changes to the transcript travel as `TranscriptDelta`, tagged `type`:
+`Append { row }` (a new row), `Patch { row }` (an existing row, addressed by
+`id`, replaced wholesale), and `Remove { id }`. `Remove` is defined on the
+wire for forward compatibility; nothing in the current projection emits it —
+every row, once appended, is only ever patched or left alone.
+
+### Cursor and replay semantics
+
+The event log's own line position is the cursor: 1-based, shared by ACP
+notifications and daemon-generated rows alike (`sidecar.rs`'s
+`PersistedEvent` envelope is what lets `User` and `Approval` rows share a cursor
+sequence with raw ACP JSON without pretending to be ACP traffic; the envelope
+also carries durable `Turn` footers). Two ways to
+read it:
+
+- **`WS /api/structured/:id`** — on connect, sends a `TranscriptSnapshot` and
+  a `ReducedState` covering the whole log as it stands, then streams
+  `ProjectionUpdate { transcript, state }` for everything that happens next.
+  There is no client-supplied resume cursor on this socket: every connection
+  gets the full snapshot, not a gap-filled continuation, so a client never
+  needs the replay endpoint just to obtain the current transcript. Use
+  replay instead for cursor-bounded pagination through the durable log —
+  history from before this connection, fetched a page at a time.
+- **`GET /api/sessions/:id/structured/replay`** — cursor-bounded pagination
+  over the durable log, returning one `StructuredReplayEvent` (`cursor`,
+  `transcript`, `state`) per matching line. `?since=<n>` returns the first
+  page after `n` (`since=0` selects from the beginning, i.e. the first
+  page); a client pages forward from there using the cursor of the last
+  event returned. `?before=<n>` returns the page immediately before `n`,
+  still in ascending order — passing both is a `400`. `?limit` defaults to
+  100 and is clamped to 500. Each call re-folds
+  the entire log from scratch to compute the state at every returned cursor,
+  so a page reflects exactly the *durable* state at its cursor, not an
+  approximation of it — at the cost of redoing the whole fold per request.
+  That durable state is not always identical to what a live client saw at
+  that moment, though: turn lifecycle transitions are broadcast live without
+  a durable event backing them (see [Prompt and cancel](#prompt-and-cancel-bounded-liveness)),
+  and a restored `Approval` row carries no pending nonce, because the nonce
+  never reached disk (see [Approvals](#approvals)) — replay is exact and
+  reconstructible, not a perfect record of everything the live view showed.
+  A session that is not a live structured session (terminal, or a dead
+  adapter) answers `409 not_structured` from either route rather than a
+  coherent-looking but stale reply.
+
+## Approvals
+
+An ACP `session/request_permission` callback becomes an `Approval` row plus a
+pending decision, entirely on the daemon side:
+
+- **Generation.** The daemon mints the nonce itself — a fresh
+  `Uuid::new_v4()` string per request — rather than using anything ACP's own
+  request carries. ACP permission callbacks have no request id of their own
+  that would double as one.
+- **Live-only placement.** The nonce lives in exactly one place: the
+  in-memory `pending_approvals` map keyed by nonce, and its mirror in
+  `ReducedState.pending_approval.nonce` on the live wire. It is never part of
+  the `Approval` row's `data` — the row is `RequestPermissionRequest`
+  serialized *without* the nonce.
+- **Secrecy from the agent and from durable history.** The adapter itself
+  never learns the nonce — it is a daemon-to-client secret, never sent back
+  over the ACP connection. It is likewise never written to the event log:
+  restoring an `Approval` row from disk (`Projection::restore_row`)
+  produces a historical row with no `pending_approval` in state, because the
+  nonce that would make it "pending" never made it to disk in the first
+  place. A restart therefore cannot resume a pending approval — see
+  [Persistence](#persistence-recovery-and-dead-sessions).
+- **One live approval at a time.** A new permission request mints its own
+  nonce, then cancels whatever was already pending (`cancel_pending_approvals`)
+  before installing itself as the new pending approval — ACP serializes
+  requests through one connection, so this only ever fires if an adapter
+  nonetheless overlaps two. Either way, the prior pending request is
+  cancelled/cleared before the new one is installed, so the newest request
+  wins.
+- **Single-use and duplicate resolution.**
+  `POST /api/sessions/:id/structured/approvals/:nonce` **always answers
+  `204`** for a known, live structured session — whether the nonce is the
+  one currently pending, one already consumed by an earlier answer, or one
+  that never existed. Only an unknown or non-structured *session* answers
+  otherwise (`404` / `409`). This is deliberate: two clients racing to answer the same
+  approval must not turn a harmless duplicate click into a client-visible
+  error. Whichever `POST` reaches the daemon first removes the nonce from
+  `pending_approvals` and is the one whose decision actually reaches the
+  adapter; every later `POST` for that nonce is a no-op `204`.
+- **Cancellation vs. denial.** A turn cancel or a session shutdown resolves
+  any pending approval with ACP's `Cancelled` outcome, not a `Deny` decision
+  — the adapter should read those as "the operation was withdrawn," not "the
+  operator refused it."
+- **Decision mapping.** `AllowOnce` and `AllowForSession` select the ACP
+  option of kind `AllowOnce` / `AllowAlways` from the request's own option
+  list. `Deny` prefers a one-shot refusal (`RejectOnce`) and falls back to a
+  permanent one (`RejectAlways`) only when that is the sole rejection option
+  offered; if neither is present, it answers `Cancelled`.
+
+## Prompt and cancel: bounded liveness
+
+The web composer accepts up to ten files through its attachment picker, file
+drop, or clipboard. Pasted text of at least 4,000 characters or 40 lines becomes
+a UTF-8 `.txt` attachment. Shorter pastes stay in the composer. Attachments can
+be removed before sending; failed sends retain the draft and attachments.
+Pastes also stay inline when all ten attachment slots are occupied or the text
+exceeds the 20 MiB file limit.
+
+On send, `POST /api/sessions/:id/structured/attachments?name=<filename>` uploads
+each file as raw bytes (20 MiB maximum) and returns its absolute `path`.
+Only live structured sessions accept uploads. Filenames are limited to 180
+bytes and cannot contain directory separators or control characters. Files get unique names and private
+file permissions in `<id>.attachments` beside the session sidecar. They persist
+across daemon restarts; removing a composer chip does not delete uploaded data.
+There is currently no automatic attachment cleanup.
+
+The prompt includes each filename and host path so the adapter can read it
+through its own file tools, including images when the provider supports them.
+These references are persisted in the ordinary user transcript row. Attachment
+bytes are not embedded in ACP messages or transcript history.
+
+`POST /api/sessions/:id/structured/prompt` and `.../cancel` are serialized
+against each other through one per-session `operation` lock
+(`AcpEventStream::operation`), because ACP permission callbacks carry no
+per-request id — the daemon's own notion of "the active turn" is the only
+thing a callback can be attributed to, so at most one turn may ever be
+in flight, and a cancelled turn must fully settle before the next prompt is
+allowed to claim the daemon's idea of "the active turn."
+
+- Web clients may collect a visible FIFO of operator messages while a turn is
+  active. They submit each queued message only after the projected turn becomes
+  idle; the queue is client-local and unsent messages do not survive a reload.
+- A submitted prompt is appended as a durable `User` row before it claims the turn and
+  dispatches to ACP, so the transcript never depends on an adapter echoing the
+  operator's input. If that append fails, the prompt is not dispatched. While a
+  turn is active, a second prompt gets `409 turn_in_flight` rather than
+  queuing in the daemon — one active turn per session, never a hidden
+  server-side queue of prompts.
+- Cancel sends `session/cancel`, clears any pending approval as `Cancelled`,
+  and ends the turn's client-visible lifecycle immediately. If the cancelled
+  turn was still *dispatched* to ACP (waiting on its response), the daemon
+  cannot simply forget it: ACP has not confirmed the cancel yet, and a new
+  prompt claiming "the active turn" while the old one is still outstanding
+  would make the next permission callback ambiguous between the two.
+- So a cancelled-but-still-dispatched turn must **settle within
+  `CANCEL_GRACE` (500ms)** — either ACP acknowledges the prompt (however it
+  resolves) or that grace period runs out. If it settles in time, the next
+  prompt proceeds normally. If it does not, the daemon does not guess: it
+  marks the whole structured session dead (`fail_cancelled_acp_turn`) rather
+  than risk a callback resolving against the wrong turn. This is the bounded
+  half of "bounded liveness" — a structured session's prompt/cancel dance
+  either resolves promptly or the session is declared unusable, never left
+  in an indefinite ambiguous state.
+
+## Persistence, recovery, and dead sessions
+
+A structured session's durable state is three files in the sidecar
+directory: the sidecar itself (`<id>.json`), plus two next to it:
+
+- **`<id>.events.jsonl`** — the unified event log. Each line is either a raw
+  ACP `SessionNotification` (kept in its original JSON so old logs stay
+  readable) or a `{"maestroEvent": "user"|"approval", "row": …}` envelope
+  for a daemon-generated row. Both share the same 1-based line-position cursor. A
+  line a hard kill left half-written is terminated before the next append, so
+  it keeps its position and is skipped as malformed rather than corrupting
+  what follows. An append that fails *while the daemon is running* — a
+  `write_all` that errors after only a prefix reached disk, or a `flush` that
+  errors after a complete write — is rolled back to the exact byte length the
+  file was at before the call, so `last_seq` and the file's line count never
+  disagree and the same log handle can be appended to again immediately (#184).
+  If that rollback itself cannot restore the prior length, the append is
+  fatal: the log's consistency can no longer be promised, so the caller kills
+  the session instead of appending to it again.
+- **`<id>.recover`** — an empty marker file. Its only meaning is "the daemon
+  that wrote this shut down gracefully while this session was running, and
+  the next daemon may attempt to resume it." It is consumed (deleted) the
+  moment a recovery attempt reads it — one recovery attempt per graceful
+  shutdown, never a standing flag.
+
+Three ways a structured session ends up `Dead`, each with different
+persistence consequences:
+
+1. **The adapter exits, or a notification append to the event log fails,
+   while the daemon keeps running.** (An approval-row append failure is
+   narrower: as long as the log rolled back cleanly, it only cancels the
+   pending approval and rolls the unpersisted `Approval` row back out of the
+   live transcript, without marking the session dead — a snapshot taken after
+   the failure must never show a row durable replay could not reproduce
+   (#184). If the rollback itself did not restore the log's prior length,
+   this narrower path does not apply either: the session is marked dead the
+   same as any other append failure, since the log can no longer promise
+   `last_seq` matches its file.)
+   `mark_session_dead` applies the same natural-exit worktree rule
+   as a terminal session's own pane exiting (`docs/WORKTREES.md`): a pristine
+   worktree is removed, one holding unsaved work is left on disk. No recovery
+   marker is written. This death is permanent — a later daemon restart's
+   `recover()` finds the sidecar, sees no marker, and leaves the session
+   `Dead` without attempting to resume it.
+2. **A cancelled turn fails to settle within `CANCEL_GRACE`.** Same
+   consequence as (1): the session is marked dead through the same path, no
+   marker, no future resumption.
+3. **Graceful daemon shutdown**, while the session was still `Running`.
+   `mark_session_dead_after_shutdown` marks the session dead **without**
+   applying the worktree exit rule — the tree is kept exactly as it is,
+   pristine or not, because there is nothing "natural" about this exit — and
+   writes the `.recover` marker. The sidecar on disk therefore says `Dead`,
+   but is eligible for resumption.
+
+Recovery, on the next daemon's `recover()`: for every `Structured` sidecar
+not already adopted, the marker is consumed. When one was present and the
+sidecar carries a stored `acp_session_id`, the daemon spawns a fresh adapter
+with `SpawnConfig::load_session(acp_session_id)`, replays the
+entire durable event log into a new `Projection` (rebuilding the transcript
+and reduced state exactly as they were, with any restored `Approval` row
+landing as history — never as a re-armed pending approval, since its nonce
+never reached disk), and only then reopens the log for further appends. What
+the adapter streams back while its own `session/load` is in flight is
+discarded rather than appended, so the replayed history is not duplicated
+(see [The ACP handshake](#the-acp-handshake)). Success flips the session back
+to `Running`/`Idle`; failure (no stored `acp_session_id`, or the handshake
+itself failing) leaves it `Dead` with the failure reason as
+`activity_detail` — the same "tell the operator what to fix" pattern as a
+missing adapter binary.
+
+Pending approvals and their nonces never survive any of this. They live only
+in the in-memory `pending_approvals` map and the live `ReducedState`, both
+gone the instant the daemon that held them exits. Whatever ACP permission
+request was mid-flight when the old daemon died was already answered
+`Cancelled` on that daemon's own shutdown path, so a resumed session always
+starts with no pending approval.
+
+See `docs/RESTART.md` for what a *client* observes across a daemon restart,
+now that structured sessions exist alongside terminal ones.
