fix(extension): add "tabs" permission for live tab awareness off-localhost

Browse Source 
Without the `tabs` permission, chrome.tabs.query() returns tab objects with
undefined url/title for any site outside host_permissions (i.e. everything
except 127.0.0.1). snapshotTabs then wrote empty strings into tabs.json and
active-tab.json silently skipped writes, and the sidebar agent lost track
of what page the user was actually on. activeTab is too narrow — it only
applies after a user gesture on the extension action, not for background
polling.

Manifest test asserts permissions includes 'tabs' so future drift is caught.

Note: this widens the extension's permission surface; users will see the
broader scope on next install. Called out in the CHANGELOG.
