* fix(history): defer full hydration to model sends * fix(session): key hydration on real rows, fork through get_session Two regressions from the display/model-context split, both reproducible against dev. The hydration gate compared the cached transcript against the denormalized sessions.message_count column. That column drifts in normal operation — _persist_message swallows a failed insert while add_message has already appended in memory, so the next successful persist writes rows+1 — and _db_to_session re-read the same column after each reload, so the shortfall never closed. Every send, edit, delete and truncate on a warm session re-selected the whole message table: the cost this change set out to remove, relocated onto the hot path. The other direction was just as bad — a persist for an uncached session writes message_count = 0, and a stale-low counter with a partly filled cache meant no hydration at all and a silently truncated transcript for the model. sync_session_metadata now reconciles message_count against COUNT(*) on chat_messages (one indexed count inside the connection it already opens), and _db_to_session trusts the rows it just loaded. A hydrate always closes the gap, so the next read is a cache hit. fork_session read session_manager.sessions directly and never hydrated. keep_count indexes into source.history, and display pagination no longer fills that cache, so forking after a restart returned HTTP 200 with an empty conversation and no error surfaced. It goes through get_session now. _hydrate_session_history_from_db is gone with its helper: get_session is the hydration seam, and rebuilding session.history from raw rows in the display fallback overwrote the parsed multimodal content and the _db_id edit/delete keys that had just been set. Tests drive a real SessionManager over a temp DB instead of a stub that only proved the stub hydrates — both drift directions, the send path warm and cold, and a fork taken after a restart. All five fail without this change. The brittle SQL-text assertions are dropped; the page bounds are already proven by the response body. * fix(history): route pagination through canonical handler --------- Co-authored-by: Léo <leograndcontact@gmail.com>
