* refactor(agent-launch): redefine the agent.launch contract
`agent.launch` has no clients yet, so the contract is redefined in place
rather than versioned.
- params require `operation.id`, pinned to the shipped operation-id mint so
the host can read the embedded timestamp back. No caller-supplied
fingerprint: the host derives its own.
- the result carries `disposition` ('created' | 'replayed', the same
vocabulary `RuntimeCreateAgentSessionResult` already uses) and a single
top-level `warning` instead of one on the terminal arm only.
- the prompt receipt becomes an outcome enum, so a receipt can under-claim
instead of reporting a bare `delivered: false`.
- the dead `customization` field is deleted, and the mode-reason union and
receipt are declared once in shared with main re-exporting.
- `clientMutationId` joins the reserved create fields, with a test pinning
the list to the create schema in both directions.
Contract only; no behaviour change and no ledger wiring.
* docs(agent-launch): stop calling the stripped set "agent fields"
`clientMutationId` joined AGENT_LAUNCH_RESERVED_CREATE_FIELDS, so three
comments describing the stripped set as agent fields now teach the wrong
model — including a SAFETY rationale, where a reader is trusting it most.
The rationale's claim is unchanged and still sound: deleting keys from a
parsed object leaves the rest the parsed shape.
* refactor(agent-launch): make the attempt id the launch's only idempotency key
Review follow-ups on the contract redefinition.
`operation: { id }` becomes a flat `clientOperationId`, spelled the way
`terminal.createAgentSession` and the structured mutation envelope already
spell the same concept, and admitted by the shipped
`parseAgentSessionOperationTimestamp` rather than a second copy of its
pattern — so `agent-session-host-authority` keeps the regex private.
The handler now dedupes on that id instead of the create payload's
`clientMutationId`. That field is optional, so keying on it left any launch
that omitted one with no idempotency at all, while the required attempt id
did nothing. Reserving `clientMutationId` is still right, but for the reason
the comments now give: `createManagedWorktree` never reads it, so a copy left
in the forwarded payload is inert while still reading as a guarantee. The
previous rationale — that it was a second live dedupe key — was not true.
`messageId` moves onto the prompt receipt's `journaled` arm so a producer
cannot report the text as committed without saying where, and `rpcCallerKey`
picks up the `terminal.create` call site it was lifted from instead of
shipping with no callers.
* docs(agent-launch): record why disposition is two-valued only for now
The ledger admits attempts whose outcome was never recorded, and neither
`created` nor `replayed` can say "I cannot tell you" — a caller handed
`created` for an unresolved attempt starts a second agent. Noted at the type
rather than in review, so whoever wires the ledger reads it where they edit.
* fix(agent-launch): keep contract within implemented guarantees
