Subject: [PATCH] fix: deduplicate idle sessions and refresh session data on
 transitions
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Multiple claude processes in the same CWD share one sessionFile via
findActiveJsonl, causing duplicate idle entries. Now deduplicates by
project+sessionFile key. Also refreshes session data on busy→idle
transitions so the parser fix takes effect immediately.
