fix(tui): implement SQLite session persistence and multi-session tab bar with state indicators

- Replace > (U+003E) with ❯ (U+276F) waiting indicator per issue #5330 spec
- Remove all # type: ignore suppressions from session_tab_bar.py (except unavoidable [misc])
- Fix long line lint violations in BDD step definitions
- Add _get_widget_text helper for safe widget text extraction
- Add tab navigation callback methods (prev, next, new, close, jump)
- Update CHANGELOG.md to reference issue #5330 instead of PR #10593
- Fix Contributors.md and feature consistency markers

ISSUES CLOSED: #5330

 ### Added
 
-- **SQLite session persistence and multi-session tab bar with state indicators** (#10593): Added `SessionStore` as a thread-safe, `check_same_thread=False` SQLite-backed persistence layer for TUI sessions, supporting create, retrieve, list, update-state, and delete operations. Added `SessionTabBar` widget that renders named session tabs in the TUI with per-session state indicators (⌛ for working, > for awaiting_input, none for idle) and bracketed highlighting of the active session. The tab bar stays hidden when only one or zero sessions exist. Full BDD test coverage via ``features/tui_session_persistence_tabs.feature`` with 8 scenarios.

@@ -31,4 +31,4 @@ Below are some of the specific details of various contributions.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed comprehensive milestone documentation for v3.6.0 (Advanced Concepts & Deferred Features) and v3.7.0 (TUI Implementation) (PR #9903): split into sub-documents covering context strategies, LLM backends, resource types, A2A rename, container tool execution, scope chain resolution, cost/safety budgets, E2E workflow tests, code review examples, plugin architecture, TUI layout, persona system, reference/command input, session management, configuration, and TuiMaterializer integration.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the LLMTraceRepository data-integrity fix (PR #8185 / issue #7505): replaced the unconditional `session.commit()` in `LLMTraceRepository.save()` with a dual-path implementation that respects the UnitOfWork pattern — flushing only when an external session is provided, and flushing + committing + closing when operating standalone. This eliminates premature transaction commits, loss of rollback capability, and a docstring/implementation mismatch.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the ACMS Index Data Model and File Traversal Engine (PR #9664 / issue #9579): foundational data structures for indexed context entries with hot/warm/cold/archive storage tier classification, tag system, and a timeout-safe chunked file traversal engine for large projects with 10,000+ files.
-* HAL 9000 has contributed the TUI SQLite session persistence layer and multi-session tab bar widget (PR #10593): thread-safe `SessionStore` class backed by SQLite with `check_same_thread=False`, proper connection handling (`finally: conn.close()`), ``threading.Lock`` protection around all mutating operations, replacement of deprecated ``datetime.utcnow()`` with ``datetime.now(timezone.utc)``, and state-aware session tab rendering (⌛ working, > awaiting_input, none idle) via the `SessionTabBar` Textual widget.
