fix(maestro): spawn opens a new tab instead of splitting

Pressing Spawn while reading a session split that pane in half. It now
opens the draft in its own tab, leaving the current tab untouched.

Scoped to the explicit Spawn affordances (the header button and the
sidebar empty state, both via OPEN_SPAWN_EVENT). "Spawn similar" and the
fast-forward key deliberately keep splitting: both act on the session in
front of you, so a pane beside it is the point. Reusing an empty pane
(#72) is unchanged — that path never split anything.

Closes #100
