feat(maestro): drill into a session's actions with tab

`tab` on a highlighted session opens its action page inside the command
bar: kill, rename, spawn similar, still fuzzy-searchable, with the
overlay titled after the session. Escape or backspace at an empty query
returns to the result list with the previous query intact.

Each action raises the flow the TUI already has — `KillConfirm`, the
rename prompt pre-filled, and the spawn form, now seeded from that
session's directory and command rather than the focused one.
