Check session

Handle: dbt-tools-cli:check-session

Contract

• Inputs: bound artifact root (from bind-target)
• Outputs: readiness (full, manifest-only, unavailable), artifact paths, ages, summary line
• Done when: readiness is reported and downstream primitives are allowed or blocked per level

Preconditions

• bind-target applied for this session

Out of scope

• Multi-step run triage (compose with query-executions)
• Reloading after dbt run (use refresh-snapshot)

Implementation

See references/implementation.md and references/readiness.md.
