Subject: [PATCH] feat(omo): reset hand-set Ghostty tab titles when a tab gets
 focus

A tab renamed in Ghostty ignores the title tmux sends, so it stops
showing its session name. omo-status focus now clears that override
through Ghostty's set_tab_title action, finding the tab by its terminal
title, so every tab shows its tmux session again.
