* feat: scopes SDK surface and session allowlist on session context
Exposes the Scopes v1 facade in both SDKs, which until now was reachable
only by hand-rolled HTTP, and closes the Phase 1 gap where the session
allowlist never landed on the context route.
SDKs (DEV-2001, folds in DEV-1996)
New Scope class in both SDKs — addSessions / removeSession / sessions /
status — plus honcho.scope() and honcho.scopes() entry points, a
`scopes` option on session creation, and `scope` + `sessions` read
options on chat, chatStream, representation, and session.context.
`scope` on workspace search. Python covers sync and .aio equally.
`sessions` is sugar, not a new wire field: on the recall endpoints it
goes out as the constrained `filters: {session_id: [...]}` body, never
as a key of its own. Kept separate from the `filters` parameter on the
list/search methods on purpose — that one is the full filter DSL,
whereas the recall endpoints accept a single key and 422 on anything
else, so one name for two grammars would be a trap.
Server (DEV-2357)
`GET /sessions/{id}/context` accepts a `sessions` allowlist confining
the target's representation. Two deliberate choices worth review:
- Sent as a repeated query parameter rather than the `filters` body the
issue specced. The route is a GET and `session_id` is the only
supported key, so a JSON blob in a query string buys nothing.
- The peer card is omitted under an allowlist. Cards key on
(workspace, observer, observed) with no session dimension, so they
cannot be narrowed; returning one would leak exactly what the
allowlist exists to exclude. Same reasoning as ALLOWLIST_SAFE_LEVELS.
`scope` needs no carve-out — it swaps the observer to the scope peer,
so the card read is the scope's own.
`extract_session_allowlist` now delegates to a shared
`normalize_session_allowlist`, so the cap, id charset, and must_include
rule have one implementation across both entry points. Existing error
messages are unchanged.
Also in here
- ConclusionScope renamed to ConclusionsView in both SDKs. "Scope" now
means a named set of sessions, which that class is not — it is a view
over one observer/observed pair. ConclusionScope kept as a deprecated
alias; the package-level import path only.
- The TS HTTP client comma-joined array query params, so any list-valued
parameter arrived as one malformed entry. Fixed at buildURL rather
than the call site.
Not in this PR: the "How Scopes Work" docs guide and the Groudon
dashboard tab (both DEV-2001), and CHANGELOG entries for Phases 2a-2c,
which are still merged-but-unrecorded.
Verified: ruff, basedpyright, tsc --noEmit, biome all clean. New unit
tests cover the SDK option translation and the Scope client, but the
context route's own behavior — the 422s, the 401 membership gate, the
dropped peer card — has no test yet; the analogous chat/representation
cases in tests/test_session_allowlist.py are the place for it.

* fix(scopes): close peer-card leak under limit_to_session, harden SDK inputs
Addresses review findings on the scopes work. All four were verified by
reproducing them, not by reading.
Peer card no longer leaks under any allowlist
The card was dropped when `sessions` was set but returned when
`limit_to_session=true` produced the identical allowlist, so a control
meant to fail closed was defeated by swapping one query parameter. It is
now gated on the effective allowlist, computed once and shared by the
representation call and the card read — the duplicated inline
conditional is what let the two drift apart.
`POST /peers/{id}/chat` still injects an unscoped card under an
allowlist (src/dialectic/chat.py fetches it on peer_card.use alone, with
no reference to session_allowlist). Left alone deliberately: that is a
behavior change to the shipped dialectic and
Scope validation messages survive the option union
ScopeOptionSchema is a union, and Zod collapses a failing union into one
`invalid_union` / "Invalid input" issue, burying the branch errors. Every
invalid scope on chat/representation reported "Invalid input" and told
the caller nothing — including the reserved-prefix case the check order
exists to surface. The rules are now a plain function applied after the
union resolves, so the specific message reaches the caller for bad
charset, reserved prefix, empty and over-cap lists alike.
Empty scope no longer fails open
`session.context({scope: ''})` and `honcho.search(q, {scope: ''})` used
truthiness checks, so an invalid scope was dropped and the call returned
*unscoped* results. Both now test against undefined so the value reaches
the schema.
Session IDs validated before reaching a URL path
`scope.removeSession('valid-session?typo')` addressed `valid-session`
with a stray query string: the wrong session removed, and reconciliation
run against it. Both SDKs now validate the charset first. Python's
`add_sessions` was unvalidated too — harmless in a JSON body, but
leaving one path checked and its sibling unchecked is how this recurs.
Also
- Corrected the `limit_to_session` description: it claimed "only used if
search_query is provided", but the allowlist reaches
_query_documents_recent unconditionally.
- Corrected the documented 1,000-session cap on `sessions`, which is
unreachable via repeated query params — the request line exceeds h11's
16 KB and nginx's 8 KB defaults at a few hundred entries, giving an
opaque 414/431 instead of a 422.
- Removed a dead route builder.
Tests: 7 new TypeScript cases and 2 new Python classes covering all four
findings. The TypeScript unit suite passes 146/146. The context route
itself is still unexercised — the card gate and the 401 membership check
remain verified by reading only.

* fix(sdk): align the conclusions-view error message across both SDKs
The ConclusionScope -> ConclusionsView rename updated the identifier but
not the prose inside the thrown message, which the rename pattern
(\bConclusionScope\b) does not match. TypeScript ended up throwing
"managed by this conclusions view" while Python still threw "managed by
this conclusion scope" — the same error, different text per SDK.
Three server-backed conclusions.test.ts cases assert that message by
regex and failed under `pytest -k typescript`. The four equivalent Python
assertions were passing, because they matched Python's unchanged string —
so fixing only the TypeScript tests would have made the suite green with
the divergence still in place.
Brings Python's message, comments and docstring in line with TypeScript,
and updates the assertions in both suites. `grep -ri 'conclusion scope'`
is now empty.
Verified: 64 passed across tests/sdk_typescript/, tests/sdk/test_conclusions.py
and tests/sdk/test_scope_options.py — the last of which had never been run.
