toolBreakdown text, rather than relying on toolBreakdown’s independent
truncation. Preserve the existing count and breakdown content while ensuring the
emitted headline stays within the event budget, and extend the relevant summary
test with many unrecognised tool names to cover this case.
- Around line 89-118: Change activityLog deduplication to track claim counts
rather than booleans: update newActivityLog to initialize seen as
map[string]int, increment the bucket/value key in add, and decrement it in
withdraw. Remove the list entry and delete the key only when its count reaches
zero, preserving entries still referenced by other calls.
In `@internal/agentsessions/cache.go`:
- Around line 38-51: Update DiscoverAllCached so the discoveryMu lock is held
only while checking the cache and storing results, not while calling the slow
DiscoverAll operation. Unlock before discovery, allow concurrent misses
(including different workspaces) to proceed independently, then re-acquire the

In `@internal/agentsessions/paths.go`:
- Around line 97-117: Update globTranscripts in internal/agentsessions/paths.go
(lines 97-117) to reject matches with symlinked parent components and enforce
containment at open time using a rooted or handle-relative no-follow API,

insufficient. In internal/agentsessions/paths_test.go (lines 78-147), add
coverage where sessions/<slug> symlinks to a directory outside the store and
assert no transcript beneath it is returned.
- Around line 48-60: Update claudeCodeRoot and codexRoot so configured

- Around line 230-236: Replace the lexical filepath.Clean comparison in the

directory cannot be determined.
- Around line 1-14: Add regression tests for the sessions discover and import

- Around line 434-444: Update newSessionPicker to retain each session’s raw
update time on pickerItem, including items from both local assembly and
foreignSessionItems, then sort the merged items by recency before building the

than the formatted Label, while preserving per-agent item behavior.
- Around line 515-518: Guard session.UpdatedAt.IsZero() before formatting it, so
zero timestamps do not reach sessionWhen or sessionPickerLabel and produce a
year-1 date. Update the surrounding label logic in the session row path,
preferably by reusing or adding a typed time.Time variant of sessionWhen to
avoid converting the timestamp through RFC3339 text while preserving existing
behavior for populated timestamps.
- Around line 473-479: Move the synchronous agentsessions.Import call out of the
Bubble Tea Update path into a tea.Cmd that performs the import asynchronously
and returns a result message containing the session or error, then handle that

Reviewed as a draft, so this is findings rather than a verdict. The design question you actually asked about is above my pay grade and needs @kevincodex1; what follows is whether the code does what it says.
The credential-safety work is the strongest part and it mostly holds. I checked the claims rather than taking them: the extension pin is case-insensitive, globTranscripts rejects symlinks because IsRegular() is false for them, and I confirmed by probe that a junction is rejected too. Two adversarial passes tried to turn the reparse-point gap into an escape and could not: creating a link under ~/.codex/sessions already requires write access to ~/.codex/sessions, and writing a transcript there directly reaches the same outcome with no link at all. The .jsonl pin plus the rollout-* pin plus Discover gating Import close the residual.
Two blocking, though.
The activity summary is emitted as EventCompaction, whose payload contract it does not satisfy. RehydrateEvents (replay.go:240) scans backwards for the last EventCompaction and restructures the transcript around it. A real CompactionPayload carries PreserveLast, CompactableEvents, PreservedEvents and CompactedThroughSequence — the bookkeeping saying which events the summary replaces. noteEvent writes {"summary": ...} and nothing else, so every one of those is zero, and rehydration reorders the imported transcript around a boundary that describes nothing. It decodes cleanly because the only validated field is Summary. Verified end to end through Import → ReadRehydratedEvents → PrepareExec. You picked the type because promptContextEvents already passes it; the same type has a second contract on the replay side.
Imported text carries control bytes into the terminal. The redaction chokepoint scrubs secrets, not control characters. Probed directly: "innocent title\x1b[2J\x1b[1;1H FORGED ROW \x00 tail" comes back byte-identical, ESC and NUL intact, and that string becomes a picker row and a transcript line. We have shipped this exact class twice in a fortnight: #835, where an MCP failure reason forged a row, and #876, where a copied NUL panicked the whole TUI. An imported title is strictly more attacker-influenced than either. sanitizeCardText already exists.
Two worth fixing before it leaves draft.
TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses and TestTheRealCorpusStillParses discover against the real ~/.codex and ~/.claude of whoever runs go test, and assert on what they find. The first fails at your head on this machine (indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model) because these rollouts carry turn_context past the 64-line head budget, which no change to the adapter can fix. CI passes only because the runner has no store to find. That inverts the usual bargain: green on CI, red for contributors. Worth a fixture.
The activity summary collapses successful and failed calls into one bucket per path. A successful Write /p/config.yaml followed by a failed Edit of the same path withdraws the claim entirely, so the summary reports no files changed although the file was rewritten. The withdraw logic is right in principle; it is keyed too coarsely.
Smaller: the family-1 slug fast path skips globSessionDirs, so the picker can list a session Import then refuses; name, toolCallId and role skip redact() while content and arguments get it, so the chokepoint comment is not literally true; capEvents understates the drop by one, and the note is the only thing telling the reader the import is partial; a tool call with no matching result keeps its claim, so an interrupted write reports as a file changed.
Two things I checked and am NOT raising, so you do not chase them. The Title field skipping redaction is real but pre-existing: createSessionTitle on main writes a raw prompt into metadata.json for native sessions too, and zero sessions list redacts at display. Your translate.go redaction is above baseline, not below it. And the reparse-point discovery gap is a documentation inaccuracy rather than a boundary crossing, for the reason above.
The engineering standard here is high: mutation-testing the glob and the redaction, exercising against 302 real sessions, and documenting the two pre-existing main failures instead of claiming a clean run. The two blocking items are both "this type/string has a second contract elsewhere", which is the hardest class to see from inside the change.
|
One correction to the blocking item above, since the sentence ran together: a real The cheapest fix is probably a distinct event type rather than filling in the payload, since the import is not a compaction and pretending otherwise will keep colliding with replay, rewind and lineage. If |
|
Tested the latest head with real local session data. Discovery, CLI import, source tabs, and importing/resuming a selected session all work on the normal path. I found three blockers:
There is also a smaller UX concern: importing a 2,692-event session synchronously blocked the UI for about 0.86s on this machine. Please fix at least the first three before merge. |

Re-reviewed at 8689da21, this time as a verdict rather than notes, since it is out of draft. Ran it on Windows.
Both of my August blockers are properly closed, and I checked rather than took the commit titles.
noteEvent is now EventMessage with a noteEventSummaryKey marker instead of EventCompaction, so it no longer lands on a type whose replay contract it could not satisfy. That was the harder of the two to see, and the fix is the right shape: a marker on a type that has no side effect, rather than a payload padded out to look like a compaction.
Structural fields are redacted now too. role, name and toolCallId all route through redact(), so the chokepoint comment is literally true where it previously was not.
The control-byte fix introduced a different bug, and it is the one I would block on.
func redact(value string) string {
return stripControl(redaction.RedactString(value, redaction.Options{}))
}Redaction runs FIRST and matches by shape. stripControl then deletes the control byte with no separator, so it rejoins. A secret split by one therefore survives redaction and is reassembled afterwards, which is exactly backwards from what the chokepoint promises.
Proven here against the real redact, every key shape and every splitter:
unsplit -> "token [REDACTED] end"
NUL -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
ESC -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
backspace -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
C1 -> "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
Same for ghp_ and AKIA. The unsplit value redacts correctly, which is what makes this easy to miss: the tests that exist all use unsplit values.
This matters more here than almost anywhere, because the input is a foreign transcript. That is untrusted by construction, and the whole feature is reading it.
The fix is the order, one line:
return redaction.RedactString(stripControl(value), redaction.Options{})I verified that closes it. Every splitter above then gives token [REDACTED] end.
Worth saying plainly that this is the same defect as #835, where an MCP failure reason was redacted before the terminal sanitizer rejoined the halves. Two packages, same ordering, both written to be careful about exactly this. It is a genuinely non-obvious trap, and the general rule is worth writing down somewhere: normalize first, match second, because any normalizer that removes bytes without leaving a gap is also a reassembler. A regression with a split value belongs next to the existing redaction tests.
Still open from August: the real-corpus test fails for anyone with a real store.
--- FAIL: TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses
codex_test.go:177: indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model
codex_test.go:187: no session got a model — turn_context is being discarded again
Same failure and same cause as in August: these rollouts carry turn_context past the 64-line head budget. It passes on CI only because the runner has no ~/.codex to discover. That is the wrong way round, green for the robot and red for the contributor, and it is the first thing a new reviewer hits. A fixture pinning the past-the-budget case would make it deterministic and would test the adapter rather than whatever happens to be on the reviewer's disk.
Also, the branch is one commit behind main (cabfeef against 2d2450e9). Worth rebasing so it is reviewed against the tree it will land on.
Everything else I raised as smaller in August has been addressed, and go build ./... and gofmt are clean here.
The standard in this change is high, and both of the hard structural problems I raised were fixed properly rather than papered over. The ordering bug only shows up if you go looking with a split value, so no criticism in it having survived. Happy to re-review quickly.

Pushed // before
return stripControl(redaction.RedactString(value, redaction.Options{}))
// after
return redaction.RedactString(stripControl(value), redaction.Options{})The regression covers three key shapes against five splitters (NUL, ESC, backspace, DEL, C1) and fails against the old order with the intact credential in the output. Two things about the test worth knowing, because both are traps I walked into writing it. The C1 literal was lost somewhere between my editor and the file, leaving an empty splitter, and There is also a newline case, so the fix cannot degrade into "strip everything and call it redaction". A newline survives stripping and therefore separates rather than rejoins, and it is legitimate transcript content. Two items from my review are still open, so this is not ready yet:
The rest of the change is in good shape, and both structural problems from August are properly closed. Shout when the corpus test is fixtured and I will re-run the whole thing here. |

Re-reviewed at 582fa47b. The ordering blocker is properly closed and I checked it rather than reading the commit title.
redact is RedactString(stripControl(value)) now, and redaction_order_test.go is load-bearing. I reverted the one line and ran it:
--- FAIL: TestASecretSplitByAControlByteIsStillRedacted/anthropic_key/NUL
a credential split by NUL was reassembled after redaction and reached the
output: "token sk-ant-api03-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA end"
Every splitter, every shape. That is a test that would have caught the bug, which is the part that usually goes missing. The comment you left on it carries the general rule forward too, which I would rather have than the fix alone.
One thing left, and it is the same one from August.
The real-corpus tests still fail for anyone with a real store, and there are two of them now
--- FAIL: TestTheRealCodexCorpusStillParses
indexed 2 of 2 rollouts; 2 titled, 0 with a model
no session got a model — turn_context is being discarded again
--- FAIL: TestTheRealCorpusStillParses
indexed 15 of 21 real transcripts (71%) — too many are being dropped
Both pass on CI only because the runner has no store to discover. Green for the robot, red for the contributor, and it is the first thing the next reviewer hits before they have read a line of the feature. TestTheRealCorpusStillParses is new since I last looked, so the pattern is spreading rather than being retired.
The fix I would take is a fixture pinning the past-the-budget turn_context case and whatever shape the 6 dropped transcripts have. That tests the adapter instead of testing whatever happens to be on the reviewer's disk, and it turns the 71% into a number that means something. A clean t.Skip when no store exists would at least stop it being a false red, but it would also stop it finding anything, so I would rather have the fixture.
This is the only thing standing between the branch and my approval. Ping me and I will turn it around quickly.
Two smaller things
The branch is 2 behind main, and those two commits are #890 and #903. #903 is the Go 1.26.6 bump, so a rebase clears the vulncheck red on this PR rather than you having to explain it.
Minor, Windows only: internal/agentsessions/testdata/codex-home/sessions/2026/08/01/rollout-2026-08-01T10-00-00-fixture0-0000-0000-0000-000000000001.jsonl is about 130 characters repo-relative. Checking the branch out under a deep parent path fails outright with Filename too long. It checks out fine from a short root, so this is a nit rather than a blocker, but Windows is a required platform and that is not much headroom. Shortening the fixture stem would cost nothing.
Three separate changes hit this in a fortnight, each written by someone being careful about exactly the thing that got them. A transform that removes bytes without leaving a gap is also a reassembler. Redaction that matches by shape, run before a sanitizer that strips control bytes, lets a credential split by a NUL or an ESC pass the patterns as two fragments and be rejoined on the way out: the MCP failure reason in #835, and the imported-transcript chokepoint in #878. The path form of the same mistake is comparing where a handle landed against a value produced by the same resolver the kernel just used, so a redirect agrees with itself: the ACL guard in #808, where junctions were caught only by an accident of Go's mode bits and directory symlinks were not caught at all. The unsplit value passing is what makes it survive review, so the note says the test needs a split case.

@Vasanthdev2004 — all three fixed at I reproduced your numbers exactlyI couldn't reproduce the failure by running the tests, because they pass here — 44 of 44 rollouts with 43 models, 360 of 367 transcripts. That is the bug. Both tests assert statistics over whatever store the machine has, which isn't a property of this package. So I built a store shaped like yours and ran the tests at Your output, verbatim. Against the same store this branch passes and explains itself: What the shapes areThe model. The drops. But there is a real defect behind the same verdict, and nothing distinguishes them in the output. The cwd-bearing record is subject to The two smaller ones

Adds internal/agentsessions, which reads the sessions Claude Code, Codex,
Factory Droid and Pi leave on the local disk and translates them into Zero
session events.
Four agents, two parsers. Claude Code, Factory Droid and Pi independently
arrived at the same layout — one JSONL file per session under a directory
named after the working directory, with text/thinking/tool_use/tool_result
content blocks — so one family-1 parser serves all three. Codex differs
enough to need its own: date-partitioned directories and every record
wrapped in a "payload" object.
Three rules hold throughout, each enforced by a test rather than left to
care:
1. Read-only. Nothing here writes to, moves or locks another agent's
store.
2. Path-exact globs, never a directory walk. Every one of these agents
keeps live credentials in the same tree as its transcripts —
~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.grok/auth.json, ~/.factory/auth.v2.key, and
most pointedly ~/.pi/agent/auth.json, the direct sibling of
~/.pi/agent/sessions/. Discovery uses fixed-depth globs pinned to one
extension, rejects symlinks by Lstat, and resolves session ids by
comparing glob results rather than joining an id onto a root.
3. Imported text is untrusted input and passes through
internal/redaction at a single chokepoint before reaching the event
log.
Discovery is a bounded head read (64 lines / 2 MiB), never a full parse:
the corpus this was built against is 439 MB across 1,266 files with a
single 73 MB transcript in it. The byte budget is sized from measurement —
three real sessions open with a ~334 KB record, and a 256 KiB budget was
spent before reaching the record carrying cwd, dropping those sessions from
discovery with no error anywhere.
The slugged directory name is treated as a hint only. It is lossy —
"-Users-x-dev-zero" is what both /Users/x/dev/zero and /Users/x/dev-zero
produce — so it narrows the search and the cwd recorded inside the
transcript decides.
Also emits an activity summary as EventCompaction events, because
sessions.promptContextEvents passes messages but not tool events: without
this the model continuing the work sees none of the files read, commands
run or errors hit. Zero's own compaction cannot substitute, since
toolPayloadPreview allow-lists id/name/toolName/status and drops the
arguments and output this needs. Each summary event stays under the
digest's 500-character per-event budget, and a call whose result failed
withdraws its claim so a Read of a nonexistent path is never reported as a
file that was read.

[P1] Sanitize foreign-import errors before adding them to the TUI transcript
internal/tui/session.go:529
/resumetreats any argument containing:as a foreign-session reference and startsimportForeignSessionCmd. A malformed ref such as\x1b[2J:sessionthen fails inagentsessions.ParseRef, whose error includes the supplied agent component. The asynchronous completion path returns"Sessions\n" + msg.err.Error()directly, andmodel.Updateappends that text to the terminal transcript. Unlike the picker labels, import notes, and CLI errors, this path never crossesagentsessions.DisplayField; an attacker-controlled escape/C1 sequence can therefore be interpreted by the terminal.Please make the TUI error-rendering boundary responsible for controls-first redaction/sanitization before foreign or user-derived importer errors become transcript rows. Keep the original error for internal control flow, but render a
DisplayField-equivalent safe representation. Add a regression that completes an asynchronous foreign import with a malformed ref containing ESC, C1, and a redaction-shaped value, then asserts the rendered transcript contains neither live control bytes nor the secret. This should cover the completion handler rather than onlyParseRef, which is where the current bypass occurs. -
[P2] Do not use redacted display metadata as the workspace identity
internal/agentsessions/registry.go:168
ImportpersistsCwd: DisplayField(source.Cwd).DisplayFieldcorrectly removes controls and redacts credentials for terminal output, but it is lossy: a valid checkout path containing an API-key-shaped segment is saved with[REDACTED]instead of its real directory. LaternewSessionPickerandlatestResumableInWorkspaceusesessionMatchesWorkspace(meta.Cwd, m.cwd)to decide whether that imported session belongs to the current workspace, so the transformed value never matches the actual path. Because the same session has a positive event count,importedSourceRefsalso suppresses the foreign original. The user consequently cannot select either entry from/resumein the workspace where the import was made.Please separate the canonical workspace identity used for matching from the terminal-safe presentation value. Preserve enough unredacted, normalized path identity to compare imported sessions with
m.cwdand scope/resume latest, while continuing to route every CLI/TUI rendering sink throughDisplayField(and retaining the existing secret/control protections). Add an end-to-end regression using a valid source Cwd with a redaction-shaped component: import it, construct the picker in that actual workspace, and assert the imported session remains selectable while no rendered label, note, or CLI line leaks the raw component.
Overall guidance
This PR has received repeated feedback because it introduces a broad trust-boundary feature rather than a narrow parser: it reads state owned by other applications, converts that state into durable Zero metadata and event records, and then exposes it through several independently evolving surfaces (CLI output, TUI picker rows, transcript rows, resume selection, persisted-session lookup, and retry/deduplication). A fix at one visible sink does not automatically establish the contract at the other sinks or at the storage/restore boundary.
The remaining issues share the same root cause: the implementation currently treats a value as though it has one safe representation for every purpose. It does not. Foreign strings have at least two distinct roles here:
- Display data must be terminal-safe and secret-safe. It should be normalized and redacted at the final rendering boundary, including success, warning, and asynchronous error paths.
- Operational identity must retain the exact semantics required for matching, deduplication, ownership, and restoration. A lossy display transform cannot safely be reused for a workspace key, source identifier, or other control-flow decision.
Before another review, please audit the feature by following each foreign-derived field and error through the complete lifecycle, rather than validating only the code directly changed for a prior comment:
- discovery/indexing → selected reference → full source read → translation → durable session metadata/events;
- durable metadata/events → local list/picker/latest filtering → source-suppression/deduplication → resume;
- every terminal-visible success, warning, parse failure, filesystem failure, and asynchronous completion path;
- raw source value → canonical comparison form → display-safe form, ensuring the latter is never fed back into matching logic.
It would help to make these boundaries explicit in the design: keep canonical values private to operations, apply one shared controls-first redaction function only at rendering, and expose narrowly named helpers/types so a future caller cannot accidentally pass display text into identity logic (or render identity/error text raw). Test the seams end-to-end with hostile but valid transcript metadata, malformed references, async errors, persisted older-style records, workspace switching, picker construction, and /resume latest; mutation-style tests should prove that removing the renderer sanitizer or substituting the display value for the canonical key fails. This is not a request for unrelated refactoring—the goal is to make the existing one-way-import contract durable across its producer, persistence, restoration, and rendering boundaries so subsequent fixes do not uncover the same class at another entry point.

[P1] Bind rewinds to the workspace where each checkpoint was captured
internal/agentsessions/registry.go:169
The importer writessource.Cwdfrom an external transcript intoWorkspaceKey. That field wins inOperationalCwd, whichzero sessions rewindpasses as its restore root. But after the imported session is resumed,execcaptures each checkpoint against the current--cwdworkspace; the checkpoint payload stores only relative paths.That makes this a wrong-root restore, not just a misleading workspace label. For example, import a session recorded at
/other/project, resume it at/current/project, and let Zero checkpoint a mutation toconfig.yml. Rewind will restore or delete/other/project/config.ymlinstead of the file captured in/current/project. A foreign CWD "contained" by the checkpoint path guard is not safe here; it is selected as the trusted root in the first place.Please first define an explicit rewind ownership contract: each checkpoint must carry or be bound to the verified local workspace in which it was captured, and restore must use that binding. If that binding cannot be proved for an imported session, refuse to rewind it rather than using foreign metadata. Keep cross-workspace import/resume support; the fix should only change the mutation root. Add an end-to-end regression that captures in one workspace and attempts to rewind against a different foreign CWD.
-
[P2] Do not use a redacted display value as the persisted tool-call identity
internal/agentsessions/translate.go:101
toolCallEventandtoolResultEventboth replace the foreign call ID withredact(callID). Redaction is deterministic, but it is not one-to-one: two distinct identifiers that match the same secret shape become the same marker. On resume,transcriptRowsFromSessionEventsuses that persisted value as the call/result identity key.A transcript with two distinct secret-shaped tool calls and their results therefore collapses two identities into one. The result row can be associated with the wrong call, which corrupts the imported tool history that the summary and resume UI are supposed to make inspectable.
The root cause is conflating two contracts: display sanitization and identity. Introduce a per-import, opaque, non-secret identity mapping for foreign call IDs and use the same mapping for calls and results. Continue to redact any user-visible value. Add a regression with two different redactable IDs and assert that both results stay associated with their own calls after persist/resume.
-
[P2] Preserve transcript-tail semantics when applying
--max-events
internal/agentsessions/translate.go:247
Both translators add generated activity-summary messages before callingcapEvents. That helper documents and implements a contract to keep the last `source items, bu at present it keeps the tail of the combined source-plus-summary array. At a low limit, the summaries consume every slot and every actual final transcript event is dropped. The summary cannot replace the source tail: it is a lossy, coarse derivation and misses most message content.Please keep the cap's source-transcript contract explicit. Cap the translated source events first, then append activity and omission context without allowing it to displace the source tail, or define an explicit slot-reservation policy that always leaves room for source events. Apply the same policy to Family-1 and Codex. Add a test with
summaryEvents()producing more notes thanMaxEventsand assert that at least the ending source turn/event remains. -
[P2] Sanitize imported provenance before local-session list rendering
internal/agentsessions/registry.go:171
A Family-1 source ID is derived from the transcript filename and is inserted untransformed intoImportTag. That is durable local session metadata. The existing human-readable local session list renderer putssession.Taginto terminal output after onlyRedactString. UnlikeDisplayField, that path does not remove C0, C1, DEL, or format characters.The root cause is not the terminal sink alone; the PR expands its input domain from local Zero metadata to foreign filename data without extending the boundary to that sink too. Separate operational provenance from its display representation, or apply the same control-stripping and secret-redaction chokepoint to every human terminal renderer of tag data. Do not sanitize the stored value if that would break provenance deduplication; the raw value may remain an internal matching key. Add an end-to-end test that imports a control-character filename ID, lists the result, and asserts that no control byte is emitted.

Review guidance
This PR has accumulated follow-up findings because it introduces a new trust boundary and then carries the same foreign transcript data through several independent contracts: bounded filesystem discovery, parsing, translation, redaction, durable session creation, CLI serialization, terminal rendering, resume-prompt construction, picker filtering, and asynchronous TUI state transitions. Fixing an instance at one sink does not automatically establish the invariant at its sibling sinks or across the whole lifecycle. For example, the current implementation correctly hardens human-readable labels but leaves a distinct JSON rendering path; it correctly rolls back an append failure but leaves the successful-empty translation path with no usable session; and it carefully bounds generated summaries but measures that bound differently from the existing resume consumer.
Before another review request, please perform a contract-oriented pass rather than addressing only the named lines:
- Define the foreign-data boundary once. Inventory every value sourced from another agent’s file—metadata, paths, titles, IDs, branches, models, messages, tool arguments/results, errors, and generated summaries—and trace each one through storage, human terminal output, JSON output, TUI rendering, and prompt construction. Decide separately which fields are display-normalized versus preserved for machine consumers, then make that distinction explicit and consistently tested.
- Trace full lifecycles, not only success paths. For import, test
discover -> describe -> read/translate -> create -> append -> list/picker -> resume/retry. Exercise zero translated events, malformed/ignored records, append failure, a second attempt, and a TUI completion after state changes. A successful command response should correspond to a durable state that its advertised follow-up command can actually use. - Validate at the real consumer boundary. Where code produces a bounded or sanitized value for another subsystem, test it through that subsystem. In particular, summary tests should reach
FormatExecPrompt; output-safety tests should reach each CLI mode and the TUI; import tests should verify persisted state and picker/resume behavior rather than onlyImport’s return value. Keep byte-vs-rune, structured-vs-terminal, and redaction-vs-normalization semantics explicit. - Use a sibling-sink checklist for every security or trust fix. When a finding concerns foreign input, search for all renderers and serializers before considering it closed: text CLI, JSON CLI, stderr/error formatting, picker labels/tabs, transcript rows, stored metadata shown by older sessions, and resume prompts. Test adversarial inputs such as control bytes, Unicode format characters, secrets split by removable bytes, malformed JSONL, oversized lines, and cross-workspace paths.
- Make regressions mutation-resistant. Each regression should fail if the intended production guard is removed and should use the actual untrusted representation. For a terminal issue, verify the rendered bytes; for a lifecycle issue, verify durable state after repeated operations; for a prompt issue, verify the final context passed downstream.
This is intended to reduce review churn, not expand scope: it asks for a focused audit of the new foreign-session boundary and the contracts the feature already claims to support, while preserving the existing design choice of read-only, one-way transcript import with no foreign authentication or subprocess execution.
Findings

[P2] Keep imported activity summaries within the digest byte limit
internal/agentsessions/activity.go:344
The new summaries are deliberately capped at 460 runes, butsessions.summarizePayloadapplies the resume-context limit at 500 bytes. That is safe for ASCII but not for foreign transcript fields: one successful Read with a long CJK/emoji filename, command, search pattern, or failed-tool output can makesummaryLinereturn hundreds of multibyte runes. Whenzero exec --resumeor the TUI formats the same resumed context, the existing byte limiter cuts the tail at 500 bytes. This can remove the completion of a failure detail or the(+N more)disclosure even though the new code promises each generated activity event arrives intact. Please make the producer and its downstream digest boundary use the same unit, and add a regression that exercises a multibyte item throughFormatExecPromptrather than testing only the pre-persistence summary string. -
[P2] Normalize terminal-active format characters in JSON session output
internal/cli/sessions_import.go:38
zero sessions discover --jsonandzero sessions import ... --jsonplace foreignForeignSessionfields into JSON afterRedactValue, but do not pass them through theDisplayFieldnormalization that removesunicode.Cf. Go’s encoder structurally escapes C0 controls but emits U+202E and other bidi/format characters literally. Consequently, viewing or piping a JSON result that contains a foreign title, ID, cwd, branch, model, or path with U+202E can reorder subsequent visible terminal text. The text CLI and picker already establish that these fields are untrusted terminal input. Please apply an equivalent controls-first, format-character-safe rendering boundary to the JSON command output (without weakening JSON structure or ordinary machine consumption), and cover a bidi character in both discover and import JSON results. -
[P2] Do not report an empty foreign translation as a successful import
internal/agentsessions/registry.go:156
A discovered transcript can validly translate to no events—for example, when it contains only ignored record kinds, empty content, or excluded reasoning.Importnevertheless creates and returns a tagged Zero session, then skipsAppendEventsbecauselen(events) == 0. The local picker excludes that zero-event session, whileimportedSourceRefsintentionally leaves the original foreign session visible; retrying the apparently successful CLI or TUI import creates another invisible empty session. Please establish a no-importable-content outcome before durable creation (or otherwise ensure success produces a resumable session), keep the foreign source retryable, and add coverage for repeated CLI/TUI attempts so the create/persist/picker lifecycle cannot diverge again.

[P1] Bound total foreign-session import work
internal/agentsessions/jsonl.go:145
streamLinesreads until EOF, whiletranslateFamily1andtranslateCodexappend every translated event to their in-memory source slice beforecapTranslatedEventsapplies--max-events. The TUI deliberately passesMaxEvents == 0, and the CLI’s--max-eventstherefore trims only after all parsing, allocation, redaction, and activity collection have already happened. The 8 MiB record cap protects against one giant JSONL record, but it does not bound a transcript containing an arbitrary number of ordinary-sized records. Importing a very large local history can consequently consume unbounded memory and make the CLI or TUI import command unusable.Address the root cause by making the complete import pipeline resource-bounded, not just each line reader. Retain only the source tail needed by the configured event limit (or enforce an explicit total input/event budget) while streaming, and preserve the existing honest omission marker when data is excluded. Keep ordinary complete imports and tool-call/result ordering intact; the important property is that a cap limits the work before allocation, rather than only the returned slice afterward.
-
[P2] Keep foreign source IDs out of displayable provenance tags
internal/agentsessions/registry.go:176
The filename-derived foreign ID is persisted verbatim inMetadata.Tag. The ordinarysessions listformatter happens to pass its tag throughDisplayField, butsessions list --jsonreachesSessionSnapshotFromMetadataand emits the same tag without terminal-control/Cf normalization. JSON structural escaping does not remove Unicode bidi/format characters, and secret redaction does not remove them either. A transcript named with such a character can therefore be imported and subsequently produce visually reordered or spoofed provenance when the JSON command is rendered in a terminal.Address the root cause at the provenance boundary: do not let foreign filename bytes become displayable session metadata without a safe representation. Preserve the exact source identity required by
ParseImportTagand picker duplicate suppression—e.g. with a reversible internal encoding or separate identity/display fields—while ensuring every user-visible session projection has no terminal-control or Unicode format characters. Avoid merely fixing the current plain/JSON formatter mismatch, since future metadata consumers would otherwise reintroduce the same sink.

[P2] Preserve a source event when
--max-events=1
internal/agentsessions/translate.go:351
The CLI acceptssessions import --max-events=1, but when the translated source has been truncated, this path callscapEventsDropped(source, 1, ...). Its omission marker takes the sole slot, so the result says “most recent 0 are shown” and contains none of the foreign transcript. That violates both the flag’s tail semantics and this helper’s stated guarantee that the final source event survives. Keep the final source event for every accepted positive limit; the truncation disclosure must not displace it. -
[P2] Use the operational workspace key when ACP implicitly loads an imported session
internal/acp/agent.go:163
Imports intentionally store a terminal-safe, potentially lossyMetadata.Cwdalongside the normalizedWorkspaceKey; TUI selection and rewind usesessions.OperationalCwdfor that reason. ACPsession/loadstill falls back tometa.Cwdwhen the caller omitscwd. A valid foreign workspace with a redaction-shaped component then resolves as (for example)/work/[REDACTED]/repo, and the imported session cannot be loaded through ACP unless every client supplies an explicit directory. Use the operational workspace identity for the implicit fallback while retaining the display-safe Cwd at rendering boundaries.

[P1] Do not let a foreign transcript choose ACP's workspace
internal/agentsessions/registry.go:192
WorkspaceKeyis populated from the rawcwdin the imported JSONL, while the display-facingCwdis sanitized. ACP then prefers that raw key wheneversession/loadomitscwd(internal/acp/agent.go:161-165); the new ACP test expressly asserts that behavior. The resulting path is validated for existence, but that does not establish that the requesting editor selected or is authorized to use it. A crafted or compromised foreign transcript can therefore set itscwdto any existing non-root directory, be imported, and cause a later omitted-cwd ACP load to build its file/shell tool registry for that directory.The root cause is treating foreign transcript metadata as an execution-authority input after correctly treating the rest of the transcript as untrusted display/history data. Preserve the foreign path for provenance or workspace matching if needed, but make the ACP client's workspace (or a separate explicit user confirmation/binding step) the only source permitted to select an ACP execution root. Please add coverage for an imported session whose transcript cwd differs from the cwd supplied by—or absent from—the ACP client, proving that foreign metadata cannot silently widen or redirect the tool boundary.
-
[P1] Keep fork rewinds inside the fork's workspace
internal/sessions/rewind.go:69
Checkpoints now carryWorkspaceRoot, and rewind intentionally resolves their paths against that root rather than against itsworkspaceRootargument. However,Store.Forkcopies every parent event and checkpoint blob verbatim even whenForkInput.Cwdselects another workspace (both the exec fork path and the TUI BTW path supply a cwd). The failure sequence is: capture a checkpoint in workspace A; fork the session from workspace B; then rewind the fork. The copied checkpoint still names A, so rewind overwrites or deletes files in A while B is untouched. Before this change rewind used the caller-supplied root, so the new checkpoint binding introduces the cross-workspace regression.The root cause is carrying a location-bound side effect across a fork as though it were portable conversation history. Keep same-workspace fork rewind working, but do not replay parent checkpoints into another workspace without a new, verified binding. Rebind copied checkpoints only when their paths and safety guarantees can be established for the fork workspace; otherwise reject or skip cross-workspace checkpoint replay with a clear result. Add a regression that creates distinct A/B workspaces and asserts a rewind of the B fork cannot change A.

The PR description says summaries are emitted asEventCompaction, but the current implementation intentionally emitsEventMessageto avoidRehydrateEventscompaction behavior. These have different replay semantics, so please correct the description to document the actual behavior.

[P2] Do not let imported transcript metadata choose ACP's model
internal/acp/agent.go:183
Importcopies the foreign transcript'sModelIDinto normal session metadata, thensession/loadtreats every persisted model as a restoreable local choice. For an unrestricted/custom provider, the condition at this line accepts any non-empty string and appends it to the ACP model options when the workspace configuration did not advertise it. The imported-session cwd guard prevents a foreign transcript from selecting the execution root, but after the client supplies a cwd this separate foreign field can still select the model used for subsequent prompts. A stale or crafted transcript can therefore silently change routing, billing, or simply make the loaded session fail against the client's configured provider.Address the root cause: imported metadata and Zero-authored session preferences currently share the same authority field. Keep saved-model restoration for sessions Zero created, but make a foreign transcript's recorded model provenance/display-only until the ACP client explicitly selects it or it is independently validated as an allowed model for the resolved workspace provider. Add coverage that imports a foreign model absent from an unrestricted provider's configured/discovered choices, loads the session with an explicit client cwd, and proves the ACP session continues with the workspace-selected model rather than the foreign value.

[P2] Bind import metadata and content to the same foreign transcript
internal/agentsessions/registry.go:216
The import first callsdescribe, which chooses the first matching ID fromDiscover("")after it has been reordered by recency. It then callsAdapter.Read(id), whose family-1 and Codex implementations independently rescan fixed-depth globs and take the first matching filename in filesystem/glob order. Those are different selection algorithms. If a copied or duplicated foreign transcript ID exists, the picker displays distinct rows but gives both the sameagent:idvalue; selecting the newer row can persist its title, cwd, model, and provenance while importing the other file's events. The resulting Zero session is internally inconsistent and the user cannot address the intended source unambiguously.Address the root cause by making the selected source identity stable across discovery and import: carry an adapter-owned, exact discovered-file identity through the picker/CLI selection and read path, or reject duplicate IDs before presenting an importable reference. Do not merely sort both scans alike—the stores are mutable and independently scanning by a non-unique identifier remains ambiguous. Add regressions with two same-ID transcripts in different valid session directories, distinct metadata/content, and differing modification times; verify that either the selected row's exact transcript is imported end to end or the command/picker reports an unambiguous error.
Guidance for completing this feature
This is close in terms of surface area, but the remaining problems have the same underlying cause: the importer is crossing a trust and identity boundary, then reusing fields and identifiers that are safe as foreign history/provenance as though they were locally authoritative state. Please use that distinction as the organizing rule for the rest of the feature rather than fixing individual sinks one at a time.
-
Classify every foreign field by authority, not just by display safety. A title, transcript message, recorded model, cwd, branch, tool name, tool output, and source ID can all be useful to show or preserve as history. That does not make each one eligible to select a provider model, execution root, filesystem target, configuration, retry behavior, or other local side effect. For each imported field, explicitly decide whether it is:
- display/history only;
- provenance/matching data with no execution authority; or
- locally validated state that may affect a provider, workspace, tool boundary, or persisted preference.
Only the third category should influence local behavior, and it should be derived from the local client/workspace configuration or an explicit local user action—not directly from the foreign transcript. The ACP cwd fix already follows this rule; apply the same reasoning to model selection and to future consumers of imported metadata.
-
Use one stable source identity for the whole import lifecycle. The lifecycle is
discover → render/select → resolve/read → translate → persist provenance → suppress/retry. Every step must refer to the same foreign object. A human-readable foreign ID is fine as a display key only if the adapter guarantees it is unique within its readable store. Otherwise, retain an opaque adapter-owned locator from discovery, validate it again at read time, and keep the user-facing reference unambiguous. Sorting independent scans is not an identity guarantee, and it becomes particularly fragile while another agent is appending, rotating, copying, or deleting transcripts. -
Test the joins, not only the individual helpers. The existing fixture tests do a good job covering parser shapes and many malformed-file cases. Add end-to-end tests that deliberately make independently reasonable helpers disagree:
- two files with the same foreign ID but different cwd/title/model/events;
- a file changed, moved, or replaced between discovery and import;
- a foreign model that is absent from the current workspace's allowed/discovered models;
- loading the imported session through every bootstrap path that can consume metadata, especially ACP after a fresh process/session load;
- retry and picker suppression after an ambiguous or failed import.
Assert both what is persisted and what the next model/tool runtime actually uses. Checking only that
Importreturns success or that the picker renders a row will miss the persistence-to-consumption edge that caused these findings. -
Keep provenance separate from local preferences. It is valuable to retain “this transcript previously used model X in workspace Y.” Preserve that as a recorded fact, but avoid overloading
Metadatafields whose established meaning is “use this setting when resuming locally.” A dedicated provenance representation, or an explicit translation step at each consumer, makes the security/compatibility rule visible and prevents later consumers from silently treating foreign values as commands. -
Prefer conservative failure at ambiguous boundaries. For undocumented third-party formats, a clear “this source is ambiguous or no longer matches the selected transcript” error is safer than importing a plausible but different conversation. Likewise, when an imported value cannot be locally validated, retain it as context rather than silently applying it. This keeps the feature useful without making format drift or hostile local data choose behavior on the user's behalf.
None of this requires broadening the PR into a new abstraction layer or supporting more agents. The needed outcome is narrower: preserve the existing adapters and UX, while making foreign records informative but non-authoritative until Zero has bound them to a locally verified source, workspace, and model choice.

[P1] Keep the import window bounded while the source is live
internal/agentsessions/jsonl.go:204
streamTailLinessnapshotsinfo.Size()and uses it only to choose the starting offset. Both return paths then pass the raw file handle tostreamReaderLines, which reads until EOF. For a transcript actively being appended—which is a normal state for these agent stores—the import therefore reads records written after the initial stat, beyond the intended 32 MiB tail, and can continue parsing JSON, redacting content, building activity summaries, and appending session events until the writer stops. The post-read source-snapshot check eventually rejects the import, but only after that unbounded work and possible session-store growth.Address the root cause at the read boundary: make the captured file extent the reader's hard upper bound, not merely the offset used to seek into it. The bounded reader must cover both the partial-first-record discard and the normal line reader, while retaining the current behavior that reports a source changed after discovery/import rather than silently accepting a moving snapshot. Please add a regression with a writer that appends after the initial stat and prove that parsed bytes/records cannot exceed the captured tail window.

[P2] Sanitize tag-derived agent labels before rendering the session picker
internal/tui/session.go:668
The new picker derivesMetaandTabfromImportedAgent(meta.Tag). Legacyimported:<agent>tags preserve the suffix verbatim, and neitherpickerOverlay's row metadata norrenderPickerTabsappliesDisplayField.zero exec --tagaccepts arbitrary text, so a resumable session tagged, for example,imported:<ESC>[2Jforged, reaches/resumeas live terminal-control text both in the row's right-hand metadata and, when the picker has multiple sources, the tab strip. The surrounding import code correctly treats foreign display data as untrusted, but this new tag-derived display path bypasses that boundary.Address the root cause by separating tag parsing/grouping from terminal presentation: keep the parsed tag value where it is needed for identity and duplicate suppression, but derive a display-safe agent label before assigning
pickerItem.Metaor any rendered tab label. Do not rely on current adapter names being constants—the legacy and manually supplied tag formats remain accepted. Add coverage that constructs a resumable legacy imported tag containing ESC/control and Unicode format characters, opens/resumewith enough sources to render tabs, and verifies neither the row nor tab output carries the unsafe bytes.

I found four remaining issues that should be addressed before this is ready.
The recurring problem is not the individual parser branches by themselves. This feature crosses several boundaries—foreign history into local authority, discovery identity into durable provenance, uncertain foreign outcomes into asserted Zero events, and bounded input into a structurally coherent retained tail. Most of the earlier fixes correctly hardened one consumer, but the underlying representation is still reused by another consumer with a stronger contract. The guidance after the findings is intended to make this the final pass rather than another round of sink-by-sink fixes.

[P2] Do not infer imported authority from a free-form tag prefix
internal/acp/agent.go:184zero exec --tagaccepts arbitrary user metadata, but ACP load, fork, and rewind now usestrings.HasPrefix(tag, "imported:")as an authority decision. A native Zero session taggedimported:archiveis consequently reclassified as foreign: ACP ignores its persistedModelID;Store.Forkmigrates that operational model intoSourceModelIDand clears it; and rewind refuses a legacy checkpoint withoutWorkspaceRooteven though the checkpoint was created locally. These are observable changes to a native session caused only by a previously unrestricted label.The root cause is that one string is serving two incompatible roles: a human/free-form tag and a trusted provenance discriminator.
ImportTagalready defines a structured versioned stamp, but the operational consumers bypass that parser and accept the much broader prefix. Display grouping may reasonably recognize legacy labels; model selection, checkpoint trust, and migration must use an unambiguous provenance signal.Please centralize the imported-session authority decision and make it depend on validated provenance rather than the raw prefix. A dedicated metadata field/source record is the clearest long-term boundary; a validated versioned tag can also work for current imports. If genuine legacy imports need migration, identify them through a deliberately defined legacy contract or corroborating imported metadata rather than treating every user tag in that namespace as foreign. Apply the same predicate consistently in ACP load, fork, and rewind.
Regression coverage should exercise the complete consumers, not only tag parsing:
- a native session with a tag such as
imported:archiveretains its saved model through ACP load and fork and retains native legacy-rewind behavior; - a current versioned import still cannot select an ACP model or use an unbound foreign checkpoint;
- any supported legacy-import migration remains explicit and does not widen the native-tag collision again.
- a native session with a tag such as

[P2] Keep one source identity through discover, import, persistence, and suppression
internal/agentsessions/registry.go:37Duplicate counting currently runs on
adapter.Discover(cwd)after that adapter has filtered transcripts by workspace. Putduplicate.jsonlin valid workspaces A and B, then discover from A: the command sees only A and advertisesclaude-code:duplicate. Passing that exact advertised ref tosessions importperforms an unscoped discovery, sees both files, and rejects the ref as ambiguous. This was reproduced against the current head. The TUI's exactImportSourcepath avoids importing the wrong file, but durable provenance still records onlyagent:id; after A is imported,importedSourceRefssuppresses B as though the two transcripts were the same source.The root cause is that identity changes scope across the lifecycle. The foreign ID is treated as workspace-local during discovery, globally unique during CLI resolution, exact-path-bound during TUI reading, and globally unique again during durable suppression. Each helper is locally defensible, but the composition does not describe one object.
Please choose one identity contract and carry it through the whole lifecycle:
- If an adapter's ID is the public identity, detect duplicates across the adapter's complete readable store before applying the cwd filter, and do not advertise or import either ambiguous source through any path.
- If same-ID transcripts in different workspaces are legitimate sources, introduce an adapter-owned opaque source key/locator that distinguishes them. Carry that key from discovery through CLI/TUI selection and
Read, and persist enough of it for retry and picker suppression. The humanagent:idcan remain a display label, but it cannot be the operational key.
Sorting two scans the same way or retaining only the current pathname check would not address the root cause: the durable tag and later suppression still lose the distinction.
Add one end-to-end matrix with same-ID transcripts in A and B containing different titles and events. Verify scoped and
--alldiscovery, importing exactly what was advertised through both CLI and TUI paths, retry after failure, persisted provenance, and subsequent suppression in both workspaces. Every advertised machine reference should either import exactly one selected transcript or be rejected as ambiguous at discovery time. -
[P2] Preserve uncertainty instead of asserting that every Codex tool output succeeded
internal/agentsessions/codex.go:255function_call_outputandcustom_tool_call_outputdo not provide a structured success bit in the parsed Codex record. The importer nevertheless writestools.StatusOKto everyEventToolResultand callsactivity.observeResult(..., StatusOK, ...). For a failed read, write, patch, or other tool whose error is carried only in the output, Zero renders the result as successful and commits the pending path claim. The generated continuation context can therefore stateFiles changed:orFiles read:as fact even though the operation failed. This directly contradicts the activity log's commit-on-confirmed-success rule and the PR's stated behavior that failed calls withdraw their claims.The root cause is collapsing “the source did not encode a status” into “success.” Absence of failure evidence is not success evidence, especially because the status is consumed both as UI history and as a factual summary shown to the next model.
Please represent this state as unknown/unverified unless a structured status can be recovered from the source format. The exact representation is flexible—a neutral imported-result status, an omitted status with explicit importer semantics, or a separate confidence/outcome field—but it must have these effects:
- the TUI/history must not label an unverified result
ok; activityLogmust commit file-read/file-change claims only for explicitly confirmed success;- the original output must remain available and redacted;
- free-form output text must not be parsed with brittle
contains("error")heuristics.
Add a Codex fixture containing a path-bearing mutating call whose output describes failure. Assert the persisted result is not
ok, the output remains visible, the activity summary does not claim the path underFiles changed, and the resumed execution prompt does not receive that false claim. Also keep a normal output case to document whether it remains neutral or can be positively identified as successful from structured source data. - the TUI/history must not label an unverified result
-
[P3] Re-establish call/result pairing after byte-tail truncation
internal/agentsessions/translate.go:332Imports read only the final 32 MiB of a transcript. That boundary can fall after a complete tool-call record and before its complete result record, which is a normal possibility for the large transcripts this importer is designed to handle. The translator then emits the retained result with tool name
unknown. When the retained event count is below 4096,capTranslatedEventsDroppedreturns early, sowithoutOrphanToolResultsnever runs; that cleanup currently happens only when event-count truncation also occurs. The imported Zero log can therefore contain a result whose call was deliberately omitted by the byte boundary.The root cause is that structural normalization is coupled to one loss mechanism. Both byte-tail truncation and event-count truncation can remove the producer side of a call/result pair, but only the latter revalidates pairing.
Please apply the pairing invariant after all truncation decisions, independently of whether loss came from the byte window, the event cap, or both. Reusing
withoutOrphanToolResultsis reasonable, but the omission accounting must still be truthful and valid call/result pairs in the retained window must remain intact. A single final normalization stage over the retained source events would make this invariant harder to bypass from a future truncation path.Add a regression whose transcript exceeds the byte limit, places a call immediately before the retained window and its result inside it, and keeps the total retained event count below the event cap. Assert that the result is removed or explicitly represented as unpaired according to one documented policy, the older-record omission note remains present, and a later fully retained call/result pair survives unchanged.
Guidance for completing the feature
The number of review rounds comes from lifecycle joins rather than a large number of unrelated mistakes. The implementation has strong local safeguards—contained opens, display sanitization, source snapshots, bounded reads, redaction, exact-source TUI selection, and commit-on-success activity tracking—but several values acquire a stronger meaning after crossing into another subsystem. Addressing the following contracts centrally should close the remaining class of issues.
-
Separate provenance, display text, and local authority.
A foreign ID, cwd, model, branch, tag, tool output, and tool status are useful history. They are not automatically allowed to select a provider model, authorize a rewind, identify a local object globally, or assert a filesystem effect. Store or derive these roles separately. Sanitizing a value makes it safe to display; it does not make it trustworthy for an operational decision.
-
Define identity once for the complete lifecycle.
Write down what uniquely identifies a foreign source across
discover → filter/render → select → validate/read → persist → retry/suppress. Then use that same key at every arrow. Ifagent:idis not globally unique in an adapter's readable store, it is a label, not the key. A source snapshot protects against mutation of a selected object, but it cannot repair an identity that was already collapsed before or after the read. -
Make uncertainty an explicit state.
Imported formats are private and incomplete. When a source omits status or other evidence, preserve
unknownrather than selecting the locally convenient value. Downstream consumers should distinguish confirmed success, confirmed failure, and unverified completion. Generated summaries should be stricter than raw history because they turn parsed data into factual claims shown to the continuing model. -
Restore invariants after every lossy boundary.
Byte limits, line limits, event caps, malformed-record skips, and summary budgets all intentionally remove information. After those operations, run one final invariant pass over what will be persisted: no orphan result unless explicitly represented as such, no generated context displacing the promised source tail, accurate omission disclosure, bounded valid UTF-8, and no success-only effect without success evidence. Keeping this in one finalization stage avoids fixing each truncation path independently.
-
Test the joins and downstream consumers.
The remaining failures are invisible to helper-level tests because each helper behaves as designed in isolation. The final regression set should start at a public entry point and assert the next consumer's behavior:
- native tagged session → ACP load, fork, and rewind;
- duplicate foreign sources → scoped/all discovery, CLI/TUI import, persisted provenance, retry, and suppression;
- uncertain Codex output → persisted event, TUI rendering, activity summary, and resume prompt;
- byte-window loss → final persisted event ordering and call/result coherence.
-
Run one final field-consumer audit before re-requesting review.
For each field introduced or repurposed by this PR, list every writer and reader and label the field as display/history, provenance/identity, or operational authority. For each bounded translation path, list which records it can remove and which invariant-restoration step runs afterward. This should catch another consumer of
Tag,SourceModelID, source ID, status, or truncated events before it becomes another review round.
The recent live-append extent and legacy picker-label fixes are valid and are not being reopened here. The requested outcome is narrower than a redesign: retain the current adapters and UX, while giving provenance, identity, uncertainty, and truncation one consistent contract across their consumers.

Summary
Zero can now read the sessions other coding agents leave on the local disk — Claude Code, Codex, Factory Droid and Pi — list them, and continue that work in Zero.
In the TUI,
/resumegains a tab strip (All · zero · claude-code · codex · factory · pi) and lists un-imported sessions directly — choosing one imports and resumes in a single step.Draft, and deliberately so. There is no parent issue yet. Opening this to make the design concrete before asking for one, because the neighbourhood is sensitive — see Scope below.
Scope: how this differs from #399
#399 (
internal/agentcli) was closed on a deliberate design line: Zero talks to model APIs directly, does not wrap other vendors' CLIs, and does not reuse another product's subscription login. That closure invited "a narrow, self-contained slice… with no subprocess harness and no borrowed-identity tokens".This is that slice:
claude/codexbinariesImport is strictly one-way: nothing is written to, moved in, or locked in another agent's store.
Why it is small
sessions.FormatExecPrompt— behind bothzero exec --resumeand the TUI's/resume— renders the event log to a text digest rather than rehydrating a provider-native conversation. So an importer never has to reconstructtool_use/tool_resultpairs into Anthropic- or OpenAI-shaped messages. It only has to emit ZeroEventrecords, after which resume, fork, rewind, compaction, lineage and the picker all work unchanged.Four agents cost two parsers: Claude Code, Factory Droid and Pi independently converged on the same layout, so one family-1 parser serves all three. Codex needs its own (date-partitioned, payload-wrapped).
Credential safety
Every one of the surveyed agents keeps live credentials in the same tree as its transcripts —
~/.codex/auth.json(OPENAI_API_KEY + OAuth),~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json,~/.claude/.credentials.json,~/.grok/auth.json,~/.factory/auth.v2.key, and~/.pi/agent/auth.json, which is the direct sibling of~/.pi/agent/sessions/.So discovery is fixed-depth globs pinned to one extension, never
filepath.WalkDir; symlinks are rejected byLstat(a link namedx.jsonlpointing atauth.jsonotherwise passes the extension check); and a session id is resolved by comparing glob results, never by joining the id onto a root, so../../authmatches nothing.Imported text is untrusted input and passes through
internal/redactionat a single chokepoint.Both properties are mutation-tested: swapping the glob for a walk, or gutting the redaction call, each fail a test.
Tool work reaching the model
sessions.promptContextEventspasses messages but notEventToolCall/EventToolResult. Without help, a 22-event import gave the continuing model 2 messages and ~1,155 characters — no knowledge that any file had been touched.Zero's own compaction cannot substitute:
toolPayloadPreviewallow-listsid/name/toolName/statusand dropsargumentsandoutput, so a summariser learns that a Read failed but never which file or why. Those values are still in hand at translation time.So the translator emits an activity summary as
EventMessagesoRehydrateEventsdoes not treat it as a conversation compaction — one event per category, each under the digest's 500-character per-event budget.promptContextEventsis untouched; native resumes are unaffected.A call whose result failed withdraws its claim, so a Read of a path that does not exist is never reported as a file that was read.
Behaviour changes to existing code
internal/tui/model_test.go: the session-picker assertion moves fromMeta == ""to "Meta must not contain the session id, and must name the source agent". That check has always been about keeping the raw id out of the row; empty-string was a proxy for it.applyQuerygains a tab filter that is a no-op for every picker without a tab strip (covered by a test).Verification

Cursor, Cline, Roo, Windsurf, Continue, Aider, Grok, opencode and Gemini. Cursor and the VS Code family store chats in undocumented
state.vscdbblobs with no stability guarantee, and none were installed on the machine this was built against — there is no fixture to test them against, so shipping them would be guesswork.Known limits
Resume continues the work, not the process: the conversation, tool activity, cwd, branch and last state in flight are recoverable; the other agent's in-memory context, prompt cache and half-executed tool call are not. The activity summary is an activity log, not comprehension — it says what was done, never why.
Every one of these formats is a private, undocumented implementation detail of another product and will drift. That recurring maintenance, not the initial build, is the real cost — hence one small adapter per agent, each independently skippable, each pinned to checked-in fixtures so a format change fails a test rather than a user's import.
