Two pages at the top of the AI Transport nav were doing overlapping jobs: "About AI Transport" introduced the product, and "Why AI Transport" argued for it. A reader arriving from marketing or from another product's docs had to read both to get either answer, and each page repeated the other's framing. Collapsing them puts the high-level content in one place and lets the "Why AI Transport?" section sit above "Getting started", where the question it answers actually gets asked. The merged page keeps /docs/ai-transport, because that is the URL 26 inbound references already use as the product entry point, and moving it would have put a redirect on the highest-traffic path into the section. The page is written to answer necessity rather than comprehension. Two founder calls in late July concluded that readers understood the product and still could not see why they needed it before a V2, and that the scale-oriented framing actively invited "nice to have". So the page opens on the failure modes a reader already has, states that the threshold is response duration rather than traffic volume, shows both seams that change when retrofitting an application that already streams, and names the constraints and dependencies adoption brings. Several claims carried by the old pages are gone because the roadmap, the feature pages, and the SDK do not support them: LangChain and native model-provider integrations, human handover, two platform statistics that appear nowhere else in the docs, and a publish-order guarantee that message-ordering.mdx explicitly refutes for cross-region publishers.

The tradeoffs table hung data portability off webhook and Kafka egress, which does not support it: those sources document channel.message, and nothing says the append operations that carry a streamed response are delivered outbound. Dropping the claim entirely was the wrong correction, because database hydration does support it by a different route: an agent that persists each completed run holds the conversation, since the union of completed runs reconstructs it losslessly. Gives that its own row sourced to database hydration, and leaves webhooks and Kafka scoped to the analytics and audit use they are documented for.

Review feedback was that the page read as machine-written: smartassy. The style-guide checklist was clean, so the problem sat above it. Reading it back, almost nothing was described and everything was argued. Every section closed on a line shaped like a slide title, the same this-not-that frame carried every paragraph, and plain verbs had been swapped for more interesting ones throughout. Those are the tells, so this strips them: the rhetorical triples, the objections raised only to be knocked down, the reveals, and the closers. The argument is also now in two parts rather than one table mixing both. The first covers what moving off HTTP streaming fixes, which is the same product with the failures taken out: resume, second device, reload, stop, concurrent turns, agent restart. The second covers what the session adds because it is an Ably channel with a conversation tree over it, and none of which HTTP streaming can express at all: branching and regenerate, agent and client presence, shared live state, steering, approval gates, chain of thought. The agent sample was not runnable, since the streamText result it piped was never defined. It is now a complete handler, with the body in try/finally because session.end closes a still-open run rather than leaving observers stuck on streaming.

A second read found that removing a device tended to put an equivalent one back two lines away, in a new slot. The reveal that opened the page came back as an antithesis couplet in the paragraph below it. The objection about traffic volume came back one synonym over. The scaffold that announced the setup steps moved from the front of its paragraph to the back as a three-word fragment. Two more scaffolds appeared in a section that previously went straight from heading to table. Cuts those, states the scale point as a single fact, breaks the first table out of a shape where four rows opened the same way and five closed the same way, and puts the cost before the mitigation in the row that discloses the extra round trip. Also restores the drain comment to the warning it was. Explaining the same thing in two balanced sentences reads as documentation; the original "do this, or X happens" reads like someone who hit it.

/docs/ai-transportso the product entry point keeps its URL./docs/ai-transport/whyredirects to it and picks up the/docs/ai-transport/concepts/infrastructureredirect the deleted page carried.why/http-streaming-and-ai.mdxkeeps its URL.The page is rewritten rather than concatenated. It opens on the failure modes a reader already has, uses one comparison table as the central artifact with the feature links in it, adds a section on what adopting a session layer costs you, and shows both the agent-side and client-side code seams. Claims the old pages made that
roadmap.mdx, the feature pages, or the SDK typings do not support have been dropped.The other five files are link updates to match.
