fix(browse): capture active-tab state before close() — last-tab auto-create raced the close event

closeTab checked `tabId === this.activeTabId` AFTER awaiting page.close(),
but the page 'close' event handler can fire during that await and reassign
activeTabId — losing the race meant the last-tab auto-create never ran,
leaving the manager with zero tabs. Capture wasActive before closing, and
only reassign activeTabId when it no longer points at a live tab.

Part of the test-integrity repairs unmasked by the suite-truncation fix.
