Show session usage metrics and analytics.
## Steps
1. **Parse the time period.** Convert the user's argument to a date range (YYYY-MM-DD). Default to the past 7 days if no period specified. Common inputs: "past week", "this month", "past 30 days", "may 2026".
2. **Fetch metrics.** Call `get_session_metrics` with:
- `startDate` and `endDate` from the parsed range
3. **Format the dashboard:**
### Session Metrics: {start} to {end}
**Overview**
- {total sessions} sessions | {total messages} messages
- Tools: {breakdown with counts}
**Top Projects** (table: project, sessions, messages)
List the top 10 by session count.
**Daily Activity** (table or mini-chart: date, sessions, messages)
Show each day in the range.
**Active Hours**
Render the hours heatmap as a simple bar chart or table showing which hours of the day have the most sessions. Convert to local time labels (e.g., "9am", "2pm").
## Guidelines
- Round percentages to whole numbers.
- For active hours, group into time blocks if the data is sparse (morning/afternoon/evening/night).
- If a tool has zero sessions, omit it from the breakdown.
- Keep the formatting clean — this should be pasteable into a document or message.
