/**
 * @fileoverview Reading a DeepSeek Harness (`dsh`) session transcript off disk.
 *
 * ## Why this exists
 *
 * `GET /api/sessions/:id/last-response` is how an agent (and the Response
 * Viewer) reads what a worker actually said. For Claude it comes from
 * `~/.claude/projects/**`, for Codex from `~/.codex/sessions/**`, and for every
 * other external CLI it comes from segmenting the terminal buffer, because
 * those CLIs write nothing a reader could open.
 *
 * dsh is not in that last group: it writes a complete, structured JSONL
 * transcript per session. Falling back to the pane for it was measurably wrong
 * rather than merely coarse — dsh-TUI paints a full-screen splash, so the pane
 * segmenter answered a `last-response` call for a fresh dsh session with the
 * ASCII-art logo:
 *
 *     {"text":"✦dsh-TUI v0.8.8█▀▀▀▄█▀▀▀▀█▀▀▀▀█▀▀▀▄█▀▀▀▀…","hasContext":true}
 *
 * which an agent polling for a worker's answer reads as an answer. This module
 * is the real source: it locates the session's transcript, decodes it, and
 * returns the last turn's text.
 *
 * ## The three things that make dsh transcripts unlike codex rollouts
 *
 * **1. One zstd FRAME per append, not one zstd stream.** The file is
 * `session.jsonl.zstd`, and dsh appends by compressing each batch of lines into
 * its own frame and writing it at the end. `zstd -dc` handles that (frames
 * concatenate by definition), but before Node 24.22 and 26.10
 * (nodejs/node#65865) `zlib.zstdDecompress()` and `createZstdDecompress()` both
 * stop at the first frame end, and the supported range still includes those
 * versions: measured on a real 56-line transcript, Node returned 158 bytes /
 * 1 line where the CLI returned 43,747 bytes / 56 lines. That is a silent
 * truncation to the session header — every call would have reported "no answer
 * yet" forever. `decodeZstdFrames()` below walks the frame headers itself and
 * decompresses each frame, and `test/deepseek-transcript.test.ts` pins it
 * against multi-frame fixtures.
 *
 * **2. The user's prompts are mixed with injected context.** Every turn also
 * writes a `user/message` whose source is a plugin (the runtime-context
 * snapshot: sandbox policy, approval policy, cwd). Those are `source.kind ===
 * 'plugin'`; a real prompt is `source.kind === 'user'`. Rendering the plugin
 * ones would show the agent its own boilerplate back as the user's words.
 *
 * **3. A failed turn is not an empty turn.** `turn/end` carries
 * `reason.kind === 'error'` with the provider's message. Returning `""` there
 * makes an agent poll `last-response` fifteen times and conclude the worker
 * never answered, when the truth ("the provider rejected the request") was on
 * disk the whole time. A turn that ends in an error and produced no text
 * answers with that error, prefixed so it can never be mistaken for the model's
 * own words.
 *
 * Verified against `dsh 0.1.1-rc.2` + `@deepseek-harness-tui/dsh-tui 0.8.8`.

 * ⚠️ The boot transcript wins for as long as it exists on disk — deliberately,

 * `/new` from a sibling session that started later in the same directory, so
 * preferring newest-eligible would hand a worker its busier sibling's reply
 * (the exact bug the hard rule above was measured against, one seat over).
 * The cost of that choice: after an interactive `/new` in a dsh tab, this
 * reader keeps serving the pre-`/new` conversation (the same session's own
 * earlier turns — stale, never foreign); step 2 is reached only when no
 * boot-window transcript exists. Worker fleets never `/new`, so they only
