What new feature do you want?

We should support per-session session-restore-mode, controlled by a flag on shpool attach. If you launch a session intended to wrap a TUI, such as an editor or coding agent, you don't really need all the complexity of a virtual terminal that re-draws the screen, so it would be useful to be able to disable it.

Research direction

Start at the shpool attach command and trace how session-restore-mode is selected for a session. Determine how the requested flag can control that mode per session, then verify that sessions wrapping TUIs can disable the virtual-terminal redraw behavior while other sessions retain the existing behavior.
