// Secondary "session windows" — one extra OS window per chat so a user can
// work with multiple chats side by side. The pure, Electron-free pieces live
// here so they can be unit-tested with node --test (mirroring how the rest of
// electron/*.cjs splits testable logic out of the main.cjs monolith).

// HashRouter, so the session route lives after the '#'. The `?win=secondary`
// flag MUST sit in the query string BEFORE the '#': anything after the '#' is
// treated as the route by HashRouter and would break routeSessionId(). The
// renderer reads the flag from window.location.search to suppress the install /
// onboarding overlays and the global session sidebar.
