Shirei is no longer a terminal with tabs: it's where my whole session lives

I'm still working the same idea from when I launched Shirei: never leave the app while working with agents. In 19 days that meant adding an editor with visual git, panels that stack over the terminal and now a native browser pane... and leaving what's still missing right there in the roadmap, in plain sight.
