LaunchOpts.Agent (string) and WorkspaceEntryOptions.Agent (string) are
replaced by *agent.Resolved, carrying Command, Args, and Env. The five
entry commands (new, resume, last, open, attach) each construct an
AgentSpec from the workspace metadata, apply --agent as a one-shot
agent.command override (Open Q 1 — keeps muscle memory for users
passing executable paths), call agent.Resolve, and pass the result
through. resolveEntryAgent centralises the resume/last/open/attach path.
shell.ExecAgent and shell.ExecTmuxAgent gain an args parameter; agent.env
is merged into the env map at the session.Run launch switch, AFTER
ctask's exported CTASK_* vars (per spec §5: agent.env wins on collision).
mergeAgentEnv is the centralised merge.
Lease, manifest, write lock, heartbeat, summary, and provisional
cleanup are unchanged. The Agent string fields on Lease, SessionSummary,
and SessionInfo continue to record the launched command for diagnostics.
Replace TaskMeta.Agent (string) with TaskMeta.Agent (AgentSpec) carrying
type/command/args/env. Custom UnmarshalYAML preserves the legacy scalar
form: a built-in name (claude, opencode) maps to that type; any other
scalar maps to type=custom with the scalar as command. A missing agent
field leaves Type empty so the resolver fills in default_agent at launch.
ValidateAgentSpec enforces: known type (claude|opencode|custom),
type=custom requires command, command must be an executable name or
path with no whitespace or shell metacharacters.
Launch-path wiring (Task 3) and the --agent flag rework (Task 4) are
intentionally not part of this commit; cmd/* call sites are patched to
the minimum needed for the build to compile.
ctask resume <archived-workspace> printed both the helpful [ctask]
diagnostic + restore hint AND a redundant trailing "Error: workspace
archived" line from Cobra's default error rendering. Cosmetic but
unprofessional.
Add an errArchivedWorkspace sentinel and have runResume flip
SilenceErrors only when the inner error is that sentinel. All other
resume errors (lookup failure, metadata write failure, etc.) continue
to flow through Cobra's default rendering unchanged — we only silence
the case where we have already printed an equivalent diagnostic
ourselves.
Verified end-to-end through Cobra Execute (not just runResume direct
invocation) so the SilenceErrors-flip-from-RunE timing is exercised.
Audit walked every cmd/ and internal/ file that produces user-facing
output. All command-form hints (text the user is meant to type back)
were already routed through invocationName() in v0.5.3 — the audit is
a verification pass, not a code rewrite.
Additions:
- Extract formatResumeRestoreHint and formatDirectModeTmuxHint as
testable string-only helpers. Production paths are unchanged
behaviorally; the helpers exist purely so the audit can pin down
the format strings without simulating tmux or stderr capture.
- Two new tests pinning the invocation name to a non-canonical value
("my-bin"). The pre-existing tests already protect these surfaces
but pin the name to "ctask", so they cannot detect a regression
that hard-codes "ctask" inside the format string. The new tests
flush that out for the resume restore hint and the Layer-1
active-session attach hint.
- Drop the duplicated withInvocationName helper accidentally added in
the info-session tests; reuse the canonical helper from
persistent_test.go.
Product-identity references ("ctask persistent mode requires tmux",
the SSH-remote `ssh -t <host> ctask <subcmd>` hint, doctor's "[ctask]"
diagnostic prefix, root-command Use:/Long:) deliberately remain
literal per spec §2.
Three independent v0.5.3 polish items surfaced during manual WSL smoke testing,
bundled into one commit since they're all string/UX touches with no behavior change.
1. v0.4 lease-prompt tightening (`internal/session/{lease,run,run_preflight}.go`,
`cmd/entry.go`): when ctask is about to enter direct mode on a workspace that
already has a live tmux session, the "Continue anyway?" prompt now suggests
`ctask attach <slug>` as the reattach path. Threaded via
`PreflightOpts.ActiveLeaseHint` / `LaunchOpts.ActiveLeaseHint`; computed in
`cmd/entry.go::directModeTmuxHint` (best-effort: silent when no tmux on PATH
or no session for the workspace). Closes the footgun where a user forgot to
`export CTASK_SESSION_MODE=persistent` in a second terminal and hit the v0.4
coexistence prompt without realizing tmux passive-reattach was the intended
path.
2. Invocation-name in user-facing command hints (`cmd/invocation.go` new,
`cmd/{persistent,entry,resume,doctor}.go`): the binary name printed in
bypass / restore / "create one with" suggestions now reflects
`filepath.Base(os.Args[0])` instead of a hard-coded "ctask". Local-build
PowerShell users running `.\ctask.exe` see `ctask.exe new <ws> --direct`,
matching what they need to type. Installed contexts continue to see `ctask`.
Test seam (`invocationNameOverride`) pins the name to "ctask" in unit tests
so substring assertions stay stable across Go test binary names. Descriptive
prose ("ctask persistent mode requires...") and the ssh-remote hint
(`ssh -t <host> ctask <subcmd>`) intentionally keep the literal "ctask" —
they refer to the program identity / remote invocation, not the local
command form. Affected tests: `cmd/{persistent,resume}_test.go` tightened to
check the full `"<binary> <subcmd> <workspace> --direct"` form.
3. Smoke-checklist fixes (`docs/.../2026-05-08-v0.5.3-smoke-test-checklist.md`):
six issues caught during the run -- S2 now exports CTASK_SESSION_MODE in
both terminals (previously only WSL-A had it, which routed WSL-B's
secondary resume through direct mode instead of passive reattach); O3/A2
tmux-ls expectations corrected (tmux doesn't emit a literal "(detached)"
token); P2 expected behavior rewritten (passive reattach detach returns to
prompt immediately -- AttachExisting calls only shell.AttachSession with
no PollSessionEnd, the owner is responsible for finalize); A1 no longer
asks for Ctrl-C in WSL-B; A6 path now uses a glob (was hardcoded to the
checklist's authoring date, broke on v0.5.1 local-time directory naming);
M1 PATH-hide rewritten to `$HOME/.local/bin` only (was `:/bin` which is a
symlink to /usr/bin on usrmerge systems, did not hide tmux) and uses
`command -v` instead of `which` (which is itself in /usr/bin, unreachable
under the minimal PATH); M3/M4 reordered so the no-workspace verification
runs after PATH is restored (was silently failing under minimal PATH);
T1 wording made "substring match" explicit; T2 wording made N/A
unambiguous; section 10 split into 10a-10f, each a separate input, to
work around PSReadLine multi-line paste parsing.
Apply the v0.5.2 lookup policy to the existing commands and wire
ValidArgsFunction hooks across the workspace-accepting surface.
info: drop the --all/-a flag entirely. Direct lookup is now
archived-inclusive by default — the user typed a name, so we find
the workspace and surface its status in the output. The Status
line already distinguishes active vs archived clearly.
resume: when targeting an archived workspace, fail with a useful
hint instead of letting the resolver report "not found":
[ctask] error: workspace "X" is archived
To restore it:
ctask restore X
This is implemented by resolving archived-inclusive and rejecting
status==archived before any session-launch logic runs. Genuine
not-found and ambiguous-match behavior are unchanged.
Adds ValidArgsFunction hooks to archive (active), delete (active),
open (active), info (any), resume (active). Restore/notes/path
already have hooks from the previous commit. Shell completion now
covers the full direct-lookup surface.
LaunchOpts gains LaunchDir. session.Run resolves it via
workspace.ResolveLaunch, prints any fallback warning, and passes the
absolute path as the child process's working directory. Security
violations (absolute paths, .. escape) abort the session. The banner
gains a 'project dir: <name>/' line when launch_dir is set.

config.EnvVars gains a 7th launchDir argument. cmd/new, cmd/resume, and
cmd/open pass ws.Meta.LaunchDir. Child sessions can read CTASK_LAUNCH_DIR
to know which subdirectory ctask launched them into.

Every resolver, lister, and most-recent caller now passes
config.SearchRoots() so CTASK_PROJECT_ROOT is searched alongside
CTASK_ROOT. Commands use ws.Root when rendering relative paths or
session env vars so displays and CTASK_ROOT exports are correct for
workspaces living under CTASK_PROJECT_ROOT.

ctask new gains --project, which:
- records type=project on the workspace
- defaults the category to "projects"
- applies general + project seed overlays
- uses CTASK_PROJECT_ROOT when set, with no doubled "projects/"
path unless the user explicitly passes -c
- exports CTASK_TYPE=project into the child session
EnvVars now takes a taskType arg and exports CTASK_TYPE. Empty
type defaults to "task" for safety. resume/open also pass
EffectiveType so the env var is correct on resume of a v0.2
workspace.
Git init for project mode is wired in the next commit.
Refactor new/resume/open to use session.Run() which wraps child process launch with pre/post manifest capture and append-only session logging to logs/sessions.log. Bump version to 0.2.0.
