tally start

Create/spin up a FRESH agent under a chosen harness + model.

Creates the agent’s identity if absent (the normal signin→seed path) and launches the harness on a new session under the model. Same both-surfaces and combo validation as continue. --print-cmd prints the command. On exit the fresh session is captured as the agent’s FIRST portable context (--no-capture skips it).
