`add_session.py` recorded a session in one pass with no way to tell a half-finished run from a failed one, so a retry after an interrupted commit either duplicated the entry or reported success for work it had not done. - commit OIDs are resolved to their real subjects before any mutation, so an entry can no longer ship "(see git log)" in place of evidence - fingerprint markers give a retry an exact re-entry point, and the run resumes at the right step: journal, index, or scoped commit - an auto-commit failure returns a checkpoint instead of false success - session numbering converges across concurrent branches - journal and index writes are atomic - the idempotency fingerprint survives a date rollover: markers carry a version, and v1 markers (whose fingerprint mixed in the calendar date) are still recognised `add-session.integration.test.ts:635` used a non-null assertion, which `@typescript-eslint/no-non-null-assertion` rejects; it now narrows with an explicit throw. That was the lint failure blocking CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
This PR hardens add_session.py by turning session recording into a resumable, checkpointed state machine with stronger preflight validation, atomic writes, and integration tests that exercise real python3 execution against stamped templates.
Changes:
- Expand the integration test suite to cover commit evidence resolution, retry convergence checkpoints, marker rollover compatibility, session numbering convergence across branches, and scoped auto-commit staging.
- Add atomic text writes (
write_text_atomic) to the shared Python I/O module and route JSON writes through it. - Rework
add_session.pyto: pre-resolve commit subjects (or require explicit mapping), persist fingerprint markers, resume from partial states, converge session numbering across refs, and return actionable checkpoints on commit failure.

Review found a real defect. When a committed record was matched without an idempotency key, the run reset its state to absent and appended a new session -- but kept the committed record's marker. Two entries then carried one marker, and the next identical request hit classify_record's ambiguity guard and refused to resume. Recording the same inputs twice poisoned the journal for every later run. The run now steps to the next generation of the payload and fingerprints that. The marker stays a pure function of (payload, generation), so a retry of the new entry recomputes the same marker and still resumes. Generation 0 omits the field, leaving first-time markers byte-identical. Also corrects the spec, which still described the v1 contract this PR replaces: it claimed the calendar date was a fingerprint input and showed the unversioned marker form. Both were wrong for v2. Escapes a pipe inside an inline code span that was silently eating a table cell (MD056). Test: a third identical run now asserts sessions [1, 2, 3] with three distinct markers -- it fails without this change with the duplicate-marker refusal.

Reviewed: preflight-before-any-write ordering, resolved-subject-or-fail commit evidence, date-free v2 fingerprint with exact v1 recovery via the entry's own Date line, fail-safe classification on ambiguity, checkpoint + non-zero exit on commit failure, and post-commit HEAD verification are all sound. Script copies identical between .trellis and templates. Ran full CLI suite locally merged with current main (post #576): 1791/1791 pass.
