Set Session Context

Automatically set session name and color based on the current git branch and PR.

Steps

Detect branch:
```
git symbolic-ref --short HEAD
```
- If detached HEAD (command fails) → stop, do nothing
- If main or master → stop, do nothing
Look up PR title:
```
gh pr view --json title --jq '.title'
```
Determine session name:
- If PR exists → use PR title
- If no PR → humanize branch name: strip the conventional prefix and slash/hyphen separator, replace remaining hyphens with spaces
  - feat/add-widget → add widget
  - fix-login-bug → login bug
Run: /rename <session name>
Determine color from the branch prefix (match ^(type)[/-]):

Prefix Color
feat blue
fix red
chore green
docs cyan
refactor yellow
test purple
ci orange
build orange
perf yellow
style cyan
(no match) blue
Run: /color <color>

Prefix	Color
`feat`	blue
`fix`	red
`chore`	green
`docs`	cyan
`refactor`	yellow
`test`	purple
`ci`	orange
`build`	orange
`perf`	yellow
`style`	cyan
(no match)	blue
