ajmallesh 2469e6deac chore(license): attribute Mantis and Pi and refresh the docs
Add the final Mantis and Pi notices, license copies, acknowledgements, and residual copyright updates.

Update the README, maintained documentation, contributor guidance, and hand-maintained mirrors to describe Agentic
SAST, reconciliation, the Miscellaneous lane, current CLI behavior, and the final release contract. Correct stale
workspace and container guidance and annotate long-standing internals for maintainers.

# Workspaces and Resuming
Shannon uses workspaces to store scan state, logs, prompts, and deliverables. Workspaces allow interrupted or failed runs to resume without re-running completed agents.
## How Workspaces Work
- Every run creates a workspace.
- Auto-named workspaces use the target hostname and a session ID, such as `example-com_shannon-1771007534808`.
- `npx` mode stores workspaces in `~/.shannon/workspaces/`.
- Source-build mode stores workspaces in `./workspaces/`.
- Use `-w <name>` to give a run a custom name.
- To resume a run, pass the same workspace name with `-w`.
- Each agent's progress is checkpointed so resumed runs can skip completed work.
- The final report is surfaced at the workspace root as `Security-Assessment-Report.pdf` and `Security-Assessment-Report.md`. Run internals — deliverables, logs, prompts, and session state — live under a hidden `.shannon/` directory.
> [!NOTE]
> The URL must match the original workspace URL when resuming. Shannon rejects mismatched URLs to prevent cross-target contamination.
## Examples
Start with a named workspace:
```bash
npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-audit
```
Resume the same workspace:
```bash
npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-audit
```
Resume an auto-named workspace:
```bash
npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w example-com_shannon-1771007534808
```
List running and completed scans:
```bash
npx @keygraph/shannon scans
```
Source-build equivalents:
```bash
./shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-audit
./shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w example-com_shannon-1771007534808
./shannon scans
```
