Fixed /session Nil Pointer Panic
Added nil checks to all slash commands to prevent panics when managers are not configured
Output
🔧 Fixed /session Nil Pointer Panic
Problem
Running /session caused a panic because the session command's manager was nil (no manager configured at startup).
Solution
Added nil checks to all slash commands' subcommand handlers. When a manager/store is not configured, commands now return a friendly message instead of panicking:
gvshell> /session
Session management not available (no manager configured).
This command will be functional when connected to a hub.Files Changed
