Add a Session block to ctask info output, surfacing the workspace
session lease state derived from SessionStatus. Inserted between Path
and any launch-dir fields so the new content is visually distinct
from both blocks.
Format: state on the header line, then indented Mode / Owner / Attach
/ Note rows aligned at column 14. The Owner line omits the hostname
when it matches the local machine. The Attach hint surfaces only for
active+persistent sessions and uses invocationName() so the suggested
command reflects the user's actual invocation. Malformed leases
render as stale with a single-line diagnostic and no Mode/Owner/Attach
rows so we never display fields parsed from a broken file.
Exposes session.CurrentHostname() so the cmd layer has a single
source of truth for the local-vs-remote hostname check.
Add internal/session.SessionStatus(wsDir) that derives a display-only
view of the workspace session lease. Pure read of .ctask/session.json
with no tmux invocation, no PID liveness, no lock acquisition, and no
mutation of lease state.
States: none | active | stale. Mode defaults to "direct" when a
pre-v0.5.3 lease lacks the field. Malformed leases surface as stale
with a diagnostic so the present-but-broken case stays visible
instead of being silently classified as none.
Reused for ctask info and ctask list in subsequent commits. Lifecycle
code continues to use the existing primitives (ReadLease, IsFresh,
InspectLease).
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.
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.

Adds a child-exit-code guard to handleProvisional so a `ctask new`
workspace is reclaimed only when the agent was actually canceled
before real work (trust prompt rejected, Esc during startup, Ctrl+C
mid-launch — all confirmed empirically as exit code 1). A zero exit
means the user entered the agent and exited cleanly, which is a
legitimate workflow that must preserve the workspace even with an
empty manifest diff — for example when the user wants the workspace
directory established so they can populate context/ before resuming.
The exit code reaches handleProvisional via a new childExitCode
helper that unwraps *exec.ExitError from cmd.Run's return. Non-exit
errors (agent not found, OS-level failure) map to -1 so the
workspace is still cleaned up — the child never actually ran.

When `ctask new` launched the agent or shell and the child exited without
touching any files (e.g. the user canceled at Claude Code's trust prompt),
the workspace was left behind as empty clutter. Now, if the invocation
just created the workspace and the manifest diff is empty (zero added,
modified, deleted), the workspace directory is removed and finalize is
skipped. resume/open/last are unaffected (NewlyCreated defaults to false),
and --no-launch is unaffected (session.Run is never called).

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.
