Global sync domain split

Refactor context/global-sync.tsx into domain modules while preserving behavior.

---

Summary

packages/app/src/context/global-sync.tsx is a large multi-domain module (1,000+ LOC) that currently owns queue scheduling, bootstrap, child store creation, persistence bridges, session trimming, and event reduction. This workstream splits it into clear domains without changing runtime behavior.

---

Goals

• Decompose global sync internals into maintainable modules.
• Keep useGlobalSync() public API unchanged.
• Isolate pure logic (session trimming, ordering, grouping) from side effects.
• Keep event handling deterministic and easier to test.

---

Non-goals

• No protocol/API changes to server events.
• No behavior changes in session ordering, trimming, or cache semantics.
• No changes to page-level UI logic.

---

Parallel ownership (important)

This workstream owns:

• packages/app/src/context/global-sync.tsx
• New files under packages/app/src/context/global-sync/**

This workstream must not edit:

• packages/app/src/context/file.tsx (spec 13)
• packages/app/src/components/prompt-input.tsx (spec 11)
• packages/app/src/pages/session.tsx and packages/app/src/pages/layout.tsx (specs 09/10)

---

Current state

• Single large module with many responsibilities.
• Event reducer is embedded in component lifecycle code.
• Queue/scheduler, bootstrap, and child-store lifecycle are tightly interwoven.

---

Proposed module split

Create packages/app/src/context/global-sync/ modules like:

• types.ts - shared types.
• queue.ts - refresh queue and drain scheduler.
• child-store.ts - child store creation, persistence wiring, cache maps.
• session-trim.ts - pure session sorting/trimming helpers.
• bootstrap.ts - global and per-directory bootstrap flows.
• event-reducer.ts - event handlers for SDK event stream.

Keep global-sync.tsx as provider/composition entry point.

---

Phased steps

1. Extract pure helpers (cmp, session trim/recent logic) first.
2. Extract queue/drain scheduler.
3. Extract child-store creation and persisted cache wiring.
4. Extract bootstrap flows.
5. Extract event reducer and wire into existing listener.
6. Keep API surface stable and documented.

---

Acceptance criteria

• Public API of useGlobalSync() remains backward compatible.
• global-sync.tsx is substantially reduced (target: under 500 LOC).
• Event handling logic is isolated and easier to trace.
• No behavior regressions in project/session/provider sync.

---

Validation plan

• Typecheck: bun run typecheck (from packages/app).
• Targeted e2e checks:
  • e2e/app/session.spec.ts
  • e2e/sidebar/sidebar-session-links.spec.ts
  • e2e/projects/projects-switch.spec.ts
• Manual checks:
  • switching directories/projects still hydrates child stores correctly
  • session list/pagination behavior remains stable

---

Handoff notes

• Favor function extraction with unchanged code first.
• Keep event handler ordering explicit; avoid implicit fallthrough behaviors.
• Add focused tests only for extracted pure helpers if practical, but avoid broad test-suite changes here.
