(* The session: the declarations a running process was built from, plus every
   change accepted since (NEXT.md, the dev loop).

   Two halves. First, what a session refuses — every case here is a change that
   would compile, load, install, and then be wrong, because a cell is a bare
   pointer and storage that already exists already has a shape. Second, that
   refusing leaves the session usable, which is the failure people actually hit:
   one typo must not poison every later evaluation. *)
