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.
Three-state check matching the seed-dir pattern: INFO when unset
(points at the default discovery location), INFO with user-scope
advisory when set and present, FAIL when set but the directory
doesn't exist. Advisory wording is recommendatory, not prescriptive
(per spec amendment).

Replaces the always-informational seed-dir block with three-state checks:
INFO when the env var is unset (defaults will be used), PASS when set and
the path exists, FAIL when set but the directory is missing. Only the
configured-but-missing state counts as a failed check and raises the
doctor exit code.

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.

Adds two [INFO] lines after the existing pass/fail checks
reporting whether the resolved general and project seed
directories exist. These are read-only and do not contribute to
the pass/fail counters, so users with no seed directories still
see "5 checks passed, 0 failed".
When the status-line helper is found but Claude settings are misconfigured,
the fix suggestion now shows the real path (e.g. /c/Users/Warren/...) instead
of a <you> placeholder. Always suggests the .sh variant even if only .ps1
was found, since Claude Code runs statusLine through bash.

Adds the canonical install location as the primary search path on Windows,
before falling back to GOPATH/bin. Updates the Claude config guidance message
to reference the new path.

Checks: workspace root, agent on PATH, status line helper, Claude settings, existing workspaces. Actionable fix guidance for each failure.
