-### Native Session Propagation
-
-- Once upstream PromptKit exposes a direct request-level session identifier,
-  propagate the existing `StructuredCompletionRequest.SessionID` through the
-  PromptKit adapter's native session field.
-- Preserve the current `--session-id` invocation contract and its run-wide
-  propagation to every prompt-facing module and validator. Do not introduce a
-  second session configuration surface.
-- Retain session identity in checkpoint provenance so runs with different
-  sessions cannot reuse one another's LLM-derived checkpoints.
-- Define the upstream compatibility and prompt-variable transition explicitly:
-  native provider session behavior must not silently remove a `session_id`
-  prompt variable while maintained prompts still consume it.
-- Add adapter and assembled-run coverage for exact forwarding, trimming,
-  concurrent-run isolation, and unsupported-provider behavior once the
-  upstream contract is available.
