What
Reads now take a separate path to actually open, falling back to the resolved path when there isn't one, and fire a callback once the bytes are off disk. This applies to notebooks, images, PDFs and plain text alike.
Details
Bookkeeping for handover reads is skipped when the call came from another session.
Image decoding picks a different reader on that remote path.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
