Resume remains session-scoped in the current implementation. Treat the older
resume_token submit flow as deferred until the runtime exposes it publicly.
expires_at accepts an ISO 8601 datetime string (UTC). The runtime converts it to expires_in_s for internal tracking.
Delegation tokens are signed JWTs. The SDK provides runtime.create_delegation_token(principal, scopes) and verifies incoming tokens automatically.
Any x-* key in a submit payload or event payload is passed through without modification. Use arcp._extensions.get_extension(event, "x-my-field") to read them safely.
