SESSION-2: handler mutation-propagation discipline

[JarbasAl]

Extracted from the CONVERSE-1 feature PR (#25) per the 1 file, 1 PR rule — this is the only edit to ovos-session-2.md.

Change (ovos-session-2.md §2.4)

A handler that mutates session in-place but emits no Message has no bus-visible way to propagate those mutations. The handler-lifecycle trio .complete (PIPELINE-1 §8) is orchestrator-emitted from the dispatch context and does not reflect handler-side in-place changes (especially out-of-process). Such a handler MUST emit at least one Message (ovos.utterance.speak or ovos.session.sync per §2.7) for the state to appear in terminal events.

Clarification of existing behaviour — backwards-compatible (V1), Version unchanged. Adds the missing SESSION-2 CHANGELOG section.

CONVERSE-1 (#25) drops this companion edit and forward-references this PR.

Warning

Review limit reached

@JarbasAl, we couldn't start this review because you've reached your PR review rate limit.

More reviews will be available in 41 minutes and 27 seconds. Learn how PR review limits work.

Your organization has run out of usage credits. Purchase more credits in the billing tab to continue.

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based credits.

🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please see our Fair Usage Limits Policy for further information.
