/**
 * View-only session cookie registry for SSE endpoints.
 *
 * Why this exists: EventSource cannot send Authorization headers, so
 * /activity/stream and /inspector/events historically took a `?token=`
 * query param with the root AUTH_TOKEN. URLs leak through browser history,
 * referer headers, server logs, crash reports, and refactoring accidents
 * (Codex's plan-review outside voice called this out). This module issues
 * a separate short-lived token, scoped to SSE reads only, delivered via
 * an HttpOnly SameSite=Strict cookie that EventSource can pick up with
 * `withCredentials: true`.
 *
 * Design notes:
 * - TTL 30 minutes. Long enough for a normal coding session; short enough
 *   that a leaked cookie expires quickly.
 * - Scope is implicit: validating a cookie only grants read access to
 *   /activity/stream and /inspector/events. The cookie is NEVER valid on
 *   /command, /token, or any mutating endpoint. Matches the
 *   cookie-picker-auth-isolation pattern (prior learning, 10/10 confidence):
 *   cookie-based session tokens must not be valid as scoped tokens.
 * - In-memory only. No persistence across daemon restarts — extension
 *   re-mints on reconnect.
 * - Tokens are 32 random bytes (URL-safe base64). 256 bits, unbruteforceable.
