+### Session Restart Behavior
+
+When the CP provisions a runner pod for a session that has been started before (`session.StartTime != nil`), it sets restart-specific env vars to prevent the runner from replaying the initial prompt and historical messages:
+
+```
+if session.StartTime != nil:
+    1. Set IS_RESUME=true
+    2. Query api-server: GET /api/ambient/v1/session_messages?search=session_id='...'&orderBy=seq desc&size=1
+    3. If messages exist, set RESUME_AFTER_SEQ=<max_seq>
+```
+
+The CP uses the Go SDK's `SessionMessages().List()` with `size=1`, `orderBy=seq desc` to resolve the maximum sequence number. This translates to a `GET /api/ambient/v1/session_messages` call against the api-server.
+
+On the runner side:
+- `IS_RESUME=true` causes `INITIAL_PROMPT` to be skipped (no auto-execute on startup)
+- `RESUME_AFTER_SEQ=N` causes the gRPC listener to start `WatchSessionMessages` from `last_seq=N`, skipping all messages with `seq <= N`
+
+This ensures a restarted session picks up from where it left off without replaying the initial prompt or re-processing historical user messages.
