The PR introduces local session tabs for sidebar and editor-tab chat so multiple repository-scoped chats can stay open simultaneously instead of replacing the active session when users start parallel work.
Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.
Implements persistent local tab/session state per webview, reuses the existing shared extension connection, and restores tab behavior to keep multiple local chats stable across creation/import race scenarios while matching Agent Manager-style interaction.
Developers running parallel repository tasks in Kilo can keep multiple chats open without losing an active conversation, so they can switch contexts faster and continue work without manual session handoffs. The change now centralizes local session lifecycle handling (tabs, state restoration, and shared connection reuse); operators should monitor for regressions in tab import/create races and cross-webview session synchronization, since those paths can still cause one chat session to shadow another if state conflicts appear.
