cross-session-context

name	cross-session-context
description	Resolve another tracked live task/session and read its task metadata, transcript fallback, and zellij targeting details for non-Symphony orchestration.

Cross-Session Context

Use the repo-managed get-cross-session-context helper when the user wants to inspect another live tracked task/session from the current session.

Invocation

$cross-session-context <task slug|tracker ref|session name>
/cross-session-context <task slug|tracker ref|session name>

Lower-level overrides:

$cross-session-context --task-dir <task-dir>
$cross-session-context --status-file <status-file>
$cross-session-context --zellij-session <session-name>

Command

get-cross-session-context --project-root "<project-root>" <target>

Useful flags:

• --include-transcript-tail 4
• --json
• --tab-name <name>

Behavior

• Target by tracker ref or task slug first. Use explicit session overrides only for lower-level or debug work.
• Treat task/status metadata as the primary source of truth.
• Use transcript tail only as a targeted fallback for fuller deterministic context.
• Treat live zellij inspection as diagnostic context, not the primary contract.
• If multiple task homes match, stop and surface the candidates instead of guessing.

See ~/pro/botfiles/docs/cross-session-orchestration-contract.md for the shared contract.
