+ * guidance-sessions.ts — the FROZEN Phase 6 contract, types-only (D-06/D-07).
+ * ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * THIS MODULE SHIPS NO BEHAVIOR. No KV binding, no Env field, no wrangler
+ * namespace, no runtime function — the envelope is designed here (ROADMAP
+ * §Phase 5 GUID-05/06 upstream obligation) so Phase 6 builds its service
+ * on a frozen shape. Phase 6's service owns every write; every write
+ * carries expirationTtl: GUIDANCE_SESSION_TTL_SECONDS (~2h) and the
+ * snapshot is INLINE (one key, one TTL) — nothing outlives 2h, nothing is
+ * reconstructable after expiry (D-07, the location-pin TTL precedent).
+ *
+ * Key scheme: guidance:<id> → JSON GuidanceSessionEnvelope
+ */
