Fixes state inconsistency issues when init or workspace add commands fail partway through execution. Previously, if these commands failed after creating tmux sessions/windows but before updating state, re-running would fail with cryptic tmux errors. Changes: - initRepo: Check for existing tmux session and state entry before creation - Auto-repair by killing stale tmux sessions - Clear error if repo already tracked in state - addWorkspace: Check for existing tmux window and worktree before creation - Auto-repair by killing stale tmux windows - Auto-repair by removing stale worktrees This improves P0 "Clear error messages" goal by preventing confusing error states and making the system self-healing.

Impact
This improves the P0 "Clear error messages" goal from ROADMAP.md by:
Test Plan
Alignment with Roadmap
This addresses the P0 goal: "Clear error messages: Every failure should tell the user what went wrong and how to fix it"
The auto-repair mechanism means users don't need to manually clean up stale resources - the system fixes itself and continues, making multiclaude more reliable and user-friendly.
