The existing session-picker docs only show an auto-launch pattern (zmx-select && exit), which forces the picker on every SSH login. This is inconvenient on shared servers where quick commands are common. Add an alternative 'gentle hint' pattern that shows a one-line reminder when sessions exist, without blocking the shell.

Summary
The current session-picker docs only show an auto-launch pattern (
zmx-select && exit), which forces the interactive picker on every SSH login. This is inconvenient on shared or dev servers where you frequently SSH in to run quick commands and dont want to be prompted every time.What this adds
A new Alternative: gentle hint (server use) subsection inside the session-picker docs, with a shell snippet that:
zmx: N session(s) active — zmx-select to attachzmx-selectmanuallyWhy separate from the auto-launch pattern
The two patterns serve different use cases:
zmx-select && exit)Users can pick whichever fits their workflow.
