Persisted `ref.json` in the lab state directory. It is the source of truth for resuming commands without repeating command-line flags; the lab name sets the environment name (usually `taxiway-<lab>`), and the orchestrator type is stored separately so `taxiway run <lab>` can resume the correct adapter without another `--type` flag.

```json
{
  "version": 5,
  "lab": "mylab",
  "orch": "codex",
  "driver": "lima",
  "workspace": {
    "repo": "https://github.com/org/repo",
