/**
* # session/day — the STEPPED session (the agent-day of EVALUATION.md Part 1)
*
* The supervised, wake-by-wake run of a single session in ONE process (RUNTIME §7 + EVALUATION
* Part 1). Where {@link runSimSession} drives a bus straight through with a fixed document set,
* {@link runDaySession} drives the SAME {@link SessionCore} but pauses at wake checkpoints and
* hands control to an **external author** (an agent in another process) through a **file
* handshake**: it writes a Frame + a machine summary to the run directory, then BLOCKS for the
* author's reply (a revised document, or an explicit pass) before continuing. The revised document
* **supersedes** the standing one (RUNTIME §5, "document supersession").
*
* ## The handshake protocol (files under `
`)
* 1. `briefing.txt` — the OPEN keyframe, written before the first event. The runner then BLOCKS
* for `plans-0.kestrel` (the day's authored plan document), parses + arms it.
* 2. At each wake `n` (authored triggers + the structural cadence into the close), the runner
* drives events up to the wake's sim-time, then writes `frame--.txt` (a delta Frame:
* tape since the last vantage, positions, resting, fills, budget, plan states) and
* `state-.json` (the machine summary), and BLOCKS for either `revision-.kestrel`
* (supersede) OR `pass-` (an empty file = no change).
* 3. After the last wake it drives to settle, writes `report.json`, and the caller records the run
* with the FULL concatenated authored text as `plansText`.
*
* ## The injected-time boundary (documented, deliberate) — a LATENCY-BLIND clause
* The **sim clock is entirely injected** from the bus (`now` = the current event's `ts`, RUNTIME
* §0) — the graded computation reads no wall clock. The **host wait loop** (polling the filesystem
* for the author's reply, and the `--max-wait` safety timeout) DOES read the host wall clock: it is
* an out-of-band author interaction, not part of the graded computation. Determinism is unaffected
* because the graded output is a pure function of `(bus, wake set, handshake file contents)` — how
* long the host waited never enters it. With identical revision files pre-staged, a re-run replays
* byte-identically (the certification test asserts this).
*
* **This "host wall-clock wait is off the graded clock" clause is scoped to LATENCY-BLIND sessions**
* (ADR-0040 / clock-honest-wakes §3, RUNTIME §7 edit). `runDaySession` reaches the driver
* ({@link runSimulateSession}) with `BACKTEST_CONFIG` — a NO-LLM config that declares no `clockHonest`
* — so a stepped DAY is always latency-blind today: no deliberation record, the `--max-wait` poll never
* touches the graded tape, and the frozen `44cf2cbf` reference is preserved byte-for-byte. **There is no
* transport special-case.** Were an operator to hand the driver a `clockHonest: true` config over an
* eligible tape (§4 data floor), the SAME uniform driver seam that clocks an in-process `decide`
* (`clockedTurn` in {@link runSimulateSession}) would clock the file-handshake `await` — the author's
* wall time (the block-with-retries) becomes `measured_ms`, priced into the tape like any deliberation.
* A handshake driven by a *human* would then grade terribly clock-honest; operators run those
* latency-blind. The day driver does not special-case the file transport — the clock-honest eligibility
* gate (not the handshake) decides admissibility, and this file threads no `now`/`clockHonest` of its
* own (it inherits the driver's seam unchanged). See docs/design/clock-honest-wakes.md §3.
*
* ## Fail-closed (RUNTIME §8)
* Missing META / no instruments / unknown fill model → refuse (via {@link SessionCore}). An
* abandoned handshake (no reply within `--max-wait`) exits LOUDLY rather than hanging forever. A
* malformed `plans-0` / `revision-n` document is a loud parse error (never a silent skip).
*
* ## No handshake wait is ever silent (kestrel-4fc9)
* A blocked day must not look like a hung one. Before EVERY handshake block — the OPEN wait for
* `plans-0` and each wake's wait for a `revision-`/`pass-` — the runner ANNOUNCES the contract on
* the host status channel ({@link DayHooks.notify} → stderr): which artifact it just wrote, which file(s)
* it now wants, and the budget it will actually enforce. While blocked (only ever under `--await-author`)
* it emits a HEARTBEAT every {@link HEARTBEAT_MS}, so a day waiting on a slow author is observably
* distinct from a hung process without truncating the real workflow.
*
* ## The default TERMINATES; the out-of-band author wait is OPT-IN (kestrel-4fc9, supersedes the 0.4.x default)
* `kestrel day --dir {}` in a test that must stay quiet. */

// mandate/Brief prose embedded in the acting frame, NOT a recoverable date, so it must PASS. This
// mirrors compact-date's context-requiring lookbehind: precision comes from demanding the token's
// surrounding date signature, never a bare word. The narrowing is orthogonal to the sibling
// patterns (iso/slash/compact/epoch/weekday), so a NUMERIC date ("2024-05-01") is still caught
// regardless — recall is preserved. Adjacency allows a space/comma/hyphen (and an optional "of",
