# mutagen creates the synchronization root but not the directories above it, and a missing
# parent only shows up afterwards as a transition problem on a session that otherwise looks
# healthy ("unable to walk to transition root parent"). Make the parent first.

# Creating a session contacts the far side to install the agent, so this is also where an
# unreachable or unconfigured host shows up. mutagen keeps reconnecting on its own once
# the session exists, so this only ever runs again after a terminate.
