Auto-refresh the active tab's panels (silent, non-disturbing)

Local panels are fs.watched (LocalDirWatcher + setWatchedDirs -> pathRefresh);
remote panels poll every 3s. New refresh({silent}) skips the loading/busy
flags and touches no DOM, snapshotting sessionId+cwd to discard results if the
user navigated mid-flight. Only the active tab is live; switching tabs
refreshes the new pair. A future on/off setting is left as commented
breadcrumbs. Docs updated.
