    Type Alias SaveLatestStrategy

    SaveLatestStrategy: "message" | "invocation" | "trigger"

    Controls when snapshot_latest is saved automatically.

    There are two kinds of snapshots:

    • snapshot_latest: A single mutable snapshot that is overwritten on each save. Used to resume the most recent conversation state (e.g. after a crash or restart). Always reflects the last saved point in time.
    • Immutable snapshots: Append-only snapshots with unique IDs (UUID v7), created only when snapshotTrigger fires. Used for checkpointing — you can restore to any prior state, not just the latest.

    SaveLatestStrategy controls how frequently snapshot_latest is updated:

    • 'invocation': after every agent invocation completes (default; balances durability and I/O)
    • 'message': after every message added to the conversation (most durable, highest I/O)
    • 'trigger': only when a snapshotTrigger fires (or manually via saveSnapshot)
