Garry Tan 74fa203fe4 feat: live tab awareness for the Terminal pane
claude in the PTY now has continuous tab-aware context. Three pieces:

1. Live state files. background.js listens to chrome.tabs.onActivated /
   onCreated / onRemoved / onUpdated (throttled to URL/title/status==
   complete so loading spinners don't spam) and pushes a snapshot. The
   sidepanel relays it as a custom event; sidepanel-terminal.js sends
   {type:"tabState"} text frames over the live PTY WebSocket.
   terminal-agent.ts writes:
     <stateDir>/tabs.json          all open tabs (id, url, title, active,
                                   pinned, audible, windowId)
     <stateDir>/active-tab.json    current active tab (skips chrome:// and
                                   chrome-extension:// internal pages)
   Atomic write via tmp + rename so claude never reads a half-written
   document. A fresh snapshot is pushed on WS open so the files exist by
   the time claude finishes booting.

2. New $B tab-each <command> [args...] meta-command. Fans out a single
   command across every open tab, returns
   {command, args, total, results: [{tabId, url, title, status, output}]}.
   Skips chrome:// pages; restores the originally active tab in a finally
   block (so a mid-batch error doesn't leave the user looking at a
   different tab); uses bringToFront: false so the OS window doesn't
   jump on every fanout. Scope-checks the inner command BEFORE the loop.

3. --append-system-prompt hint at spawn time. Claude is told about both
   the state files and the $B tab-each command up front, so it doesn't
   have to discover the surface by trial. Passed via the --append-system-
   prompt CLI flag, NOT as a leading PTY write — the hint stays out of
   the visible transcript.

Tests:
- browse/test/tab-each.test.ts (new) — registration + source-level
  invariants (scope check before loop, finally-restore, bringToFront:false,
  chrome:// skip) + behavior tests with a mock BrowserManager that verify
  iteration order, JSON shape, error handling, and active-tab restore.
- browse/test/terminal-agent.test.ts — three new assertions for
  tabState handler shape, atomic-write pattern, and the
  --append-system-prompt wiring at spawn.

Verified live: opened 5 tabs, ran $B tab-each url against the live
server, got per-tab JSON results back, original active tab restored
without OS focus stealing.

/**
* Terminal sidebar tab — interactive Claude Code PTY in xterm.js.
*
* Lifecycle (per plan + codex review):
* 1. Sidebar opens. Terminal is the default-active tab.
* 2. Bootstrap card shows "Press any key to start Claude Code."
* 3. On first keystroke (lazy spawn — codex finding #8): the extension
* a) POSTs /pty-session on the browse server with the AUTH_TOKEN to
* mint a short-lived HttpOnly cookie scoped to the terminal-agent.
* b) Opens ws://127.0.0.1:<terminalPort>/ws — the cookie travels
* automatically. Terminal-agent validates the cookie + the
* chrome-extension:// Origin (codex finding #9), then spawns
* claude in a PTY.
* 4. Bytes pump both ways. Resize observer sends {type:"resize"} text
* frames; tab-switch hooks send {type:"tabSwitch"} frames.
* 5. PTY exits or WS closes -> we show "Session ended" with a restart
* button. We do NOT auto-reconnect (codex finding #8: auto-reconnect
* = burn fresh claude session every time).
*
* Keep this file dependency-free. xterm.js + xterm-addon-fit are loaded
* via <script src> tags in sidepanel.html (window.Terminal, window.FitAddon).
