Description

Currently HTTP sessions and nREPL sessions are completely independent. HTTP sessions only matter insofar as they retain the message queue for responses from asynchronous or long-running operations.

It would be useful to optionally map HTTP sessions onto nREPL sessions, so that a client's session state persists naturally across HTTP requests.

Additionally, supporting nontextual REPL interactions over HTTP has not been addressed.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how HTTP sessions retain response queues and how nREPL sessions hold client state; define the optional mapping and nontextual interaction requirements before implementing. Done means HTTP requests can preserve nREPL session state when enabled and nontextual interactions are supported.
