Orb 1.13: your work keeps running

Close Orb, reopen it, and everything is exactly where you left it. Sessions now live outside the app itself: quitting, relaunching, or even a crash no longer stops the shell or the Claude task running inside. Coming back simply re-attaches to the same live session, scrollback included.
What's new
- Sessions survive the app. Each local session now runs inside its own persistent terminal host that stays alive when Orb closes. Reopen Orb and you are back in the same live session, with its full history.
- Nothing to install. Orb ships its own pinned copy of tmux inside the app, compiled from checksum verified sources and signed together with the app. No Homebrew, no setup, nothing to configure.
- Deleting is the only goodbye. Only the trash button actually stops a session. Quitting the app just detaches from it; your work keeps running quietly in the background.
- The view stays put. Switching a session to the Terminal pane and clicking away no longer snaps the window back to Claude when you come back. The pane you chose is the pane you get.
