Enhance utils/session/ with workflow data storage: - Add `data` field to Session model for key-value storage - Add get(), set(), delete(), clear_data() methods to Session - Update FileSystemSessionStorage to persist data field to data.json - Update MemorySessionStorage to handle data field - Add comprehensive tests for data storage functionality - Update serialization (to_dict/from_dict) to include data field This is Phase 1 of the session unification plan, enabling the session system to support both conversation tracking and workflow data storage. All 60 session tests pass including 6 new data storage tests. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace in-memory agent sessions with unified SessionManager: - Add SessionManager integration to SpecializedAgent - Create _create_storage() method for storage backend selection - Use FileSystemSessionStorage when session_storage_path is set - Use MemorySessionStorage otherwise (backward compatible) - Update _get_session_history() to convert ConversationMessage to dict - Update _add_to_history() to use add_conversation_message() - Update clear_session_history() to use SessionManager API - Update get_session_history() to return same format as before - Update set_session() to ensure session exists - Fix test for _sessions attribute (now _session_manager) - Fix test with invalid filesystem path to use temp directory All 98 agent tests pass + 24 ExploreAgent tests pass. Agents now support both memory and filesystem persistence! 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Remove plugins/automation/runtime_data/session.py: - Delete SessionData, SessionStorage, get_storage() module - Update runtime_data/__init__.py to remove session exports - Add note directing users to utils.session.SessionManager - No breaking changes: module was not yet in use All 89 passing automation tests still pass. 4 pre-existing workflow engine test failures unchanged. This completes the session unification migration. The codebase now has a single unified session system in utils/session/ supporting: - Conversation tracking (for agents and tools) - Key-value data storage (for workflows) - Metadata and statistics - Multiple storage backends (memory, filesystem) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Mark plan as completed and add implementation summary: - All 3 phases completed successfully in ~1 hour - 247 tests passing (60 session + 98 agent + 89 automation) - ~160 lines of duplicate code deleted - Zero breaking changes - New capabilities: persistent agent sessions, unified data storage Phase 1 (30 min): Enhanced utils/session/ with data storage Phase 2 (20 min): Migrated utils/agent/ to SessionManager Phase 3 (10 min): Deleted automation session module Key achievements: ✅ Single unified session system across entire codebase ✅ Agents support both memory and filesystem persistence ✅ Sessions support conversation tracking + data storage ✅ No backward compatibility issues Much faster than estimated 1.5-2 weeks due to: - Experimental automation plugin allowed direct deletion - Well-tested foundation (54 existing session tests) - Clean internal separation in agent implementation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
This PR implements the complete Session Unification Plan documented in
docs/session_unification_plan.md, consolidating three separate session concepts into a single, cohesive session management system.Key Changes
Phase 1: Enhanced
utils/session/with data storagedata: Dict[str, Any]field to Session model for key-value storageget(),set(),delete(),clear_data()methodsdata.jsonPhase 2: Migrated

plugins/automation/runtime_data/session.py(157 lines)runtime_data/__init__.pyto remove session exportsutils.sessionBenefits
✅ Single unified session system across entire codebase
✅ Agents now support persistent filesystem storage (previously memory-only)
✅ Sessions support both conversation tracking AND data storage
✅ Eliminated ~160 lines of duplicate code
✅ Zero breaking changes - fully backward compatible
Testing
All tests passing:
Note: The 4 failing workflow engine tests are pre-existing (documented in the plan).
Implementation Timeline
Completed in ~1 hour (vs. estimated 1.5-2 weeks):
