}Decide a Session's return from local work
Computes, without mutating anything, what returning local work to the platform does for this Session. The body carries three manifests — the client’s acknowledged_manifest, the platform’s managed_manifest, and the client’s local_manifest — and the response is one typed decision: already current, a fast-forward of the acknowledged frontier, local-ahead with nothing to apply, or a merge that requires explicit confirmation, with the changed paths sorted. An absent acknowledged manifest is refused as unattributable rather than guessed.
Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. Required evidence journey: session-turn. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities.
