// agents_cli.go — `privatae-bastion agents [--json] [--prompts]`: every agent
// on this machine and what it is doing, for the person at it and for an agent
// they ask to manage the bastion (agentsession.go builds each view).
//
// It reads with the caller's own permissions: run as an ordinary account it
// sees the session records in that account's home; with sudo it sees every
// account's. Beside the bastion installed for the whole machine, the owner's
// account reads the machine's view from it (reads.go). The last prompt each
// session was given is shown only with --prompts, because it is what a person
// typed into another session.
