Migrated from docs/backlog.md (Deferred / A sessions spawn --transient verb).

The transient-session contract (grid-sized session, switch in, return to the origin on exit, origin context in the environment) is reachable only from a pipe / run chord; the CLI cannot ask for one (scrollback.md "Lifecycle: transient session"). Deferred because the return half is client state, so the verb would have to push a request the window then honors, and no consumer needs the shape from outside a chord: a script already reaches a chord's transient through the environment it is handed. Revisit when one asks for it from the outside.

If implemented: felis sessions spawn --transient would create a grid-sized session, switch in, and return to the origin on exit. Requires a daemon→window request path (return is client state).

Revisit when a consumer needs a transient from outside a chord.

Refs: docs/explanation/data-model/scrollback.md Lifecycle: transient session.
