create_session
Create a new exploratory testing session with optional tags, mission, estimate, and assignee to manage test activities.
Instructions
Create a new exploratory testing session. Requires write permission. mission accepts rich HTML (the high-level charter). assigneeUserId accepts either a User _id ("user_abc...") or an email address — the email is resolved against TestDino users automatically. estimate is in minutes. Findings cannot be created here — add them in the UI. IMPORTANT: tags must be a JSON array of strings — e.g. ["exploratory","auth"] — NOT the comma-separated form that list_sessions accepts as a filter.
