Server-sent session lifecycle events (owner or admin). NOT CURRENTLY SERVED — see x-unimplemented.

GET
/v1/sessions/{id}/events
curl --request GET \
--url http://localhost:8080/v1/sessions/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/events \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

NOT IMPLEMENTED AS OF 2026-08-07. The Steam game-exit lifecycle arc that introduced this endpoint was parked and its control-plane implementation reverted; this contract text was deliberately left in place so the agreed shape survives for a future resurrection. x-unimplemented: true marks that: the route-coverage drift test skips such operations, because a documented-but-unserved route would otherwise fail every branch as a phantom. Remove the marker in the same change that registers the route. Original amendment text follows.

Session-events amendment (2026-08-02): SSE stream (text/event-stream) replacing Session-events amendment (2026-08-02): SSE stream (text/event-stream) replacing lifecycle polling for clients that support it. One event type, session, whose data is the same envelope as GET /v1/sessions/{id} — sent once on subscribe (snapshot) and on every change to state / state_detail / app_launch_state / health_state; the event for a terminal state is final and the server then closes the stream. Comment lines (:) are keep-alives (~25s). Best-effort latency optimization, never an authority: the GET remains canonical, and a client MUST retain polling as fallback (older control plane -> 404; dropped stream -> re-subscribe or poll). Bearer-authenticated like every session read (browsers use fetch-streaming, not EventSource, so the Authorization header carries as normal).

Open string, not an enum: new codes are additive and an unknown one falls through to a client’s generic per-status branch.

Steam library discovery Phase 3, ADDITIVE: present on home_in_use when the guard could name the CONFLICTING live session - the one already holding the home. It is here so the client can offer “go to your running session” with a link instead of a dead-end toast. OMITTED rather than empty when the conflict is known but the session is not, so a client branches on presence and never renders a link to nowhere. Load-bearing once derived tiles exist: the lock is held by the PARENT’s home, so a user who clicks a game tile can be refused because a DIFFERENT app (the Steam launcher, or another game from the same install) is running, and without the session id the refusal reads as a bug. See control-api.md §Derived tiles.

Steam library discovery Phase 3, ADDITIVE: present on the 409 conflict from DELETE /v1/apps/{id} when the app has derived tiles and ?delete_derived=true was not sent. A LIST, not a count - the point of the confirmation is that the admin sees what they are about to destroy. Capped; an empty array means the tiles could not be listed, never that there are none.
