refactor: add canonical transcript assembly seam

+**Transcript record**:
+One provider-normalized fact (session, message, tool call, tool result, summary,

+resolve source-specific deduplication, visibility, and identity before emitting
+it. The persist layer serializes transcript records; the session detail

+_Avoid_: database row, raw event

+**Session detail assembler**:
+The provider-independent module that projects canonical transcript records into
+the timeline shape used by the app. It may consume records directly from a
+provider adapter's fresh full parse or after a SQLite round-trip. Provider deltas
+require prior state and are handled by the snapshot/patch seam instead. It never
+branches on provider and never infers provider semantics from message text.
 
 **Persist layer**:

+The single shared, provider- and binding-agnostic writer that consumes transcript records
 from any adapter and writes them into an injected SQLite handle inside a
 transaction. The binding is injected — `node:sqlite` (CLI) or
 `better-sqlite3` (app) — so there is one persist implementation, not one per

+# Canonical transcript records are the session-detail seam
+
+**Context.** Provider adapters originally emitted database-shaped records, while
+the desktop app reconstructed presentation semantics after querying SQLite.
+Although that reconstruction had no explicit provider switch, it still inferred
+metadata from raw message text. As more providers are added, those heuristics
+would make provider semantics leak into a shared presentation module and allow
+the direct parse path to drift from the persisted path.
+
+**Decision.** Every provider adapter emits a canonical `TranscriptRecord`
+stream. The adapter owns all source-specific interpretation: duplicate raw
+events, stable identities, tool relationships, message classification, and
+visibility. `visibility` is separate from `is_meta`: hidden transport context is
+omitted from session detail, while visible system evidence can remain a metadata
+card. Presentation-sensitive concepts are explicit canonical fields: tool calls
+carry a presentation class, Skill instructions carry a content type, and
+workflows carry their parent tool-call identity.
+
+The Core `assembleSessionDetail(input)` module is the only session-detail seam.
+It accepts either a provider's complete transcript stream from a fresh parse
+(`cursor = null`) or table-shaped rows after a persistence round-trip. A delta
+parse cannot produce a complete detail snapshot without prior state, so the
+assembler rejects a `SessionRecord` whose `countMode` is `delta`; incremental UI
+updates use the existing snapshot/patch seam. Its internal row adapter restores
+the canonical record language before assembly. The implementation may sort,
+group thinking, and attach tool results, subagents, and workflows, but it never
+checks the provider and never parses message text to recover provider semantics.
+Tool names are likewise display data, not assembly control flow.
+
+The persist layer only serializes transcript records and cursor state. SQLite is
+not the source of transcript semantics, and a persistence round-trip must not
+change the assembled result.
+
+**Consequences.** A new provider is complete only when its canonical transcript
+can pass directly through `assembleSessionDetail`. Provider conformance tests
+cover that seam, while persistence tests verify that canonical classification
+survives a database round-trip. Codex-owned normalization now classifies hidden
+context envelopes and structurally removes image wrappers before duplicate
+reconciliation. Adding another provider does not add branches to the app's
+session-detail code.
