    Type Alias ProcessStart

    ProcessStart: boolean

    Whether the process a client is built for began with a stored session: the one process-start fact both layers read. The entry that builds the process decides it:

    • continuing a checkpoint carries the fact the checkpoint stores (MobileProcessStart.startedWithSession), because a checkpoint of a process that signed in inside itself holds an authorization while that process began without a session;
    • launching derives it from the session it starts from (session.authorization !== undefined, through startedWithSessionOf), so a pre-login stored state launches as a created process.

    The same fact feeds the native transport's x-fb-appnetsession-* pair and the TypeScript header model (MobileProcessStart), so one process cannot send the pair on one layer and not on the other.
