No saved sessions found for workspace {}.

Error message

No saved sessions found for workspace {}.

What it means

fork_session(--last) asks SessionManager for the newest session recorded for the current workspace; when get_latest_session_for_workspace() returns None it bails with the workspace path. Sessions are tracked per workspace, so history recorded in another checkout does not help.

Solutions

1. Create history first: run a session in this workspace, then retry `fork --last`
2. Or fork a specific known session by its id instead of --last
3. Double-check you are in the workspace directory the sessions belong to

Example fix

// before
$ codewhale fork --last
Error: No saved sessions found for workspace /repo.

// after: make history once, then fork it
$ codewhale          # start a session in this workspace, exit
$ codewhale fork --last
// or: $ codewhale fork <session-id>

let manager = SessionManager::default_location()?;
let latest = manager.get_latest_session_for_workspace(workspace)?;
if latest.is_none() { /* tell the user to create a session first */ }

When it happens

Trigger: `codewhale fork --last` in a workspace where no session has ever been saved (or the store for this workspace is empty). The explicit-id path (resolve_session_id) has its own errors.

Common situations: Fresh clone or brand-new project directory; sessions live under a different workspace path; running the command from the wrong cwd.
