feat(frontend): open a live session straight to its pending gate

Opening an in-progress session that has a live Pi runtime now reconnects to
its pending gate instead of the empty landing screen that read as "stopped".
Cold/completed sessions keep the read-only documents panel with its explicit
Resume, so a mere click never spawns a runtime. Backend GET /sessions now
reports a per-session `active` flag (live runtime bound) to drive this.

Also:
- "New session" now closes any open session detail panel (left box).
- The model-activity separator can be dragged to a full 50/50 split
  (was capped at 576px); central-min still guards narrow viewports.

Test fixes uncovered along the way:
- Node 25 ships an experimental global localStorage that shadows jsdom's and
  lacks clear(), failing every jsdom test at setup; install a spec-compliant
  in-memory Storage (feature-detected, inert on CI/LTS).
- Fix 4 pre-existing session-mgmt tests that used an ambiguous getByText for a
  session shown in both nav and header; target the nav item by test id.
