* feat(agent-launch): carry the launch inputs the host cannot derive Desktop's launch call sites cannot move onto `agent.launch` while the wire drops inputs they depend on. This adds the three the host genuinely cannot work out for itself, and deliberately adds nothing the host can. - `agentArgs` — the host read only `settings.agentDefaultArgs`, so a saved launch recipe's arguments had no way across. Tri-state is preserved: `null` is "no arguments", absent is "use the settings default". - `cwd` — `TerminalCreateOptions.cwd` already reached the spawn, but nothing on the wire filled it. It also decides the route: only a terminal can start somewhere other than its workspace, so the host now feeds it to `requiresTuiLaunchCommand` and downgrades with `tui_launch_command` rather than running a structured session in the wrong directory. - `launchSource` — telemetry, and the only member of the `agent_started` triple the host cannot derive; `agent_kind` and `request_kind` are computed host-side. Typed `z.string()`, not the closed enum: params are validated by the HOST, so a closed arm set would let an older host refuse a newer client's launch over a label. Attribution must not gate a user action. Not added, because the host already derives them: `launchPlatform` (`getAgentLaunchPlatformForWorkspace`, from the same connectionId/path/ projectRuntime the renderer uses) and `startupCommandDelivery` (a pure function of the agent inside `buildAgentStartupPlan`). Fingerprint: `agentArgs` and `cwd` are in — they change what the call does, so a retry carrying different ones must conflict rather than replay. `launchSource` is out — two buttons producing the same launch are one operation, and folding it in would refuse an honest re-attributed retry. A caller sending none of the new fields digests exactly as before, because the canonicalizer drops undefined keys, so launches admitted by an older build still replay across the upgrade. Arguments reaching a structured route are ignored by an existing deliberate decision (the Agent SDK and app-server version their option sets separately from the interactive CLI), so the host reports it in `warning` instead of overriding the user's preference on the strength of a field that is not evidence about the surface. * fix(agent-launch): forward create-target launch inputs
