```
workspace.Workspace.MissingDirectories() -> []string
```

MissingDirectories returns absent start directories in document order. It is separate from [Workspace.Validate] because a prior command may create them. tmux otherwise falls back to the user's home directory without an error. Names beginning with ~ are resolved as tmux resolves them.
