Tmux Background Tasks

If tmux is not installed, stop and ask the user to install it before proceeding.

Overview

Use tmux to run and manage long-lived commands in the background. Do not keep these tasks alive with the default process tool; always launch them in tmux so they survive across commands and can be reattached.

Workflow

1. Verify tmux is installed If tmux is missing, stop and ask the user to install it (e.g., brew install tmux on macOS). Do not proceed until tmux is available.

2. Pick a stable session name Use a predictable, unique name like <repo>-<task> (e.g., myapp-api, myapp-expo).

3. Start or reuse the session Check for an existing session before starting a new one.
