mars — mission control for your terminal

USAGE
  mars                           new session, opens a terminal (like tmux)
  mars FILE                      new session, editing FILE
  mars -s [FILE]                 quick standalone edit, no daemon (scripts)
  mars <COMMAND> [ARGS]

  By default every `mars` is a session: detachable, survives disconnects,
  auto-named (a number first, then an AI label). See below to manage them.

SESSIONS  (work survives closed windows and disconnects)
  mars new <name> [FILE]         start an explicitly-named session
                                 (aliases: session, --session)
  mars attach [name]             reattach — most recent session if unnamed
                                 (aliases: a, resume, --resume)
  mars ls                        list sessions and their attach state
                                 (aliases: list, --list)
  mars rename <old> <new>        rename a running session
  mars kill <name>               end a session (autosaves first)

  Inside a session:  C-t D or C-x C-d  detaches (keeps everything running)
                     C-x C-c  quits and ends the session
  Closing the terminal window just detaches — nothing is lost.
  Reattach greets you with a \"while away\" line if anything happened;
  C-x g opens the full Away Digest (timeline + durations).

AGENT  (BETA — an assistant, not an authority; review what it proposes)
  mars ask \"<question>\"          one-shot answer from the LLM agent
                                 (needs GEMINI_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY,
                                  or MARS_LLM_KEY + MARS_LLM_URL)

REMOTE  (BETA — the agent works on every box; the key never leaves home)
  mars ssh <host> [ssh args]     ssh in with the auth socket forwarded; the
                                 remote agent asks home, no key on the box.
                                 Auto-starts the key broker if it isn't running.
  mars keyd                      (optional) start the broker explicitly, in a
                                 shell where your API key is set

INSIDE THE EDITOR
  Ctrl+Space   mission control (search)    !   run a shell command
  ?            ask the agent               C-t space warp (tabs/panes)
  C-x C-f      Navigator (browse & jump)       C-x C-s save   C-g cancel anything

MORE
  mars help                      this text          (aliases: -h, --help)
  mars version                   version            (aliases: -V, --version)
  mars reset                     restore default keybindings + tuning (backs up old)
  mars --selfcheck               run the built-in test suite

  Config: ~/.config/mars/keys.json (bindings), tuning.json (behavior knobs)
  Session logs: ~/.local/state/mars/<name>.log";
