S0 — Retained sessions #2366
Description
Slice
every existing session becomes a box record with a stable id, type, parent and the stopped/exited states, and a stop retains it, on today's create path and before any schema change (BOX-001, BOX-003, BOX-011 and BOX-013). On that path no expanded spec reaches the daemon, so the record's type comes from the creating verb, session or task (BOX-001's sub-bullet), and its parent is none. A person sees the records by listing them with their states (BOX-158) and reading one (BOX-159), which BCLI-001 and BCLI-003, pulled forward into this slice, render. Creation then sends and stores the expanded spec (BOX-068), which resume follows (BOX-025).

Closing in the 2026-10-31 backlog triage: the work has shipped.
Evidence: All 20 sub-issues are CLOSED: #2375 to #2394, plus T56 #2634. That includes the end-to-end task T7 #2394. The slice issue itself is still open.
Two independent reviewers checked this closure; neither refuted it. Reopen if it's wrong.
