// Open-in-current-chat plumbing for the Claude host.
//
// The pill's "Open in current chat" action does NOT forge a new native session.
// Instead it stages a small injection file that the `relay claude-hook` runtime
// (installed into ~/.claude/settings.json hooks; see install.js) consumes from
// inside the user's LIVE Claude session and turns into the event-appropriate
// hook output — mid-turn (PostToolUse), at turn end (Stop), or on the next
// prompt (UserPromptSubmit / SessionStart).
//
// Files (all under RELAY_HOME, overridable for tests):
// claude-sessions/<session_id>.json — rendezvous: refreshed by the hook on
// EVERY event, so the pill can find the most recently active live session
// (terminal Claude Code included, which has no desktop metadata).
// claude-inject/<session_id>.json — one pending injection for that session
// ({ relayId, senderName, title, createdAt, instruction }).
// claude-inject/any.json — broadcast: consumed by whichever live
// session sees an event first.
//
// The injection instruction deliberately does NOT inline the relay body: the
// model fetches it through the Relay MCP tools, preserving the untrusted-content
// quoting discipline in relay-briefing.js. Only the (sanitized, length-capped)
// sender name and title ride along for orientation.
//
// CommonJS on purpose: required by the Electron overlay (overlay/main.cjs) and
// imported by the ESM hook runtime (src/claude-hook.js), like state-lock.cjs.
