On `agent_settled`, reuses persisted replacement-session command contexts when event contexts omit `switchSession()`, executes the deferred stash-assisted merge-and-delete finalization path, emits a warning-only notification when restored `base-path` changes are reapplied after merge, tolerates stale replacement-session notification contexts after session replacement, retains the worktree plus notifies closure failure for interrupted or failed outcomes, logs selected prompt workflow transitions, and transitions workflow state through `merging`, `error`, and `idle` as required. On `session_shutdown`, captures pre-update prompt snapshots so workflow-shutdown diagnostics and same-runtime command continuation preserve the active prompt workflow state across switch-triggered rebinding, then disposes the shared controller. Runtime is dominated by configuration loading during `session_start` and git finalization during matched successful closure handling; all other hooks are O(1). Side effects include resource checks, active-tool mutation, active-session replacement, status updates, live-ticker disposal on shutdown, optional child-process spawning, outbound HTTPS requests, branch merges, worktree deletion, and optional debug-log writes.
