## What's changed

## Improvements
- Stop shipping compiled test files in the published packages. The `*.test.ts` sources were being emitted into `dist`, adding dead weight to every install and leaving modules that `require("vitest")` (not a dependency) inside the tarball, which tripped tooling that walks every file in a package. ([#4833](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4833))
- Named side channels on a Session: durable, two-way realtime streams that outlive a single run and are shared across runs. Open a channel with `sessions.open(id).channel(name)` (or `chat.channel(name)` inside a `chat.agent`) to get an `.in`/`.out` pair addressed by name rather than the reserved default pair. Writing a side channel's `.in` does not wake or trigger a run, so a channel can carry out-of-band data (a stream of frames, a control signal) that many clients read while the agent produces it. ([#4815](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4815))
  
  ```ts
  // Inside a chat.agent: stream frames on a named channel, wakes nothing
  const frames = chat.channel("screenshots");
  await frames.out.append(frame);
  frames.in.on((control) => {
  /* client control, no suspend */
  });
  ```
  
  Declare channel record types once with `sessions.defineChannel(...)` and infer them on both the producer and the consumer, including `useSessionStreamChannel` in React. Channels get a default retention that keeps them bounded, overridable per channel.
- Session `triggerConfig.tags` now accepts up to 10 tags, matching the run tag limit. Previously it was capped at 5, which for `chat.agent` left room for only 4 of your own tags after the automatic `chat:{chatId}` tag. ([#4832](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4832))
