Sessions: never lose a window again

In the background, every ~15 minutes, cntxt silently snapshots every open, cntxt-bound window — which Project or Group it was showing, and its live tabs — into one history record. No manual "save a session" step; it just accumulates. Idling doesn't spam history: each capture is deduplicated against the last one.

A Session survives even if the Project or Group it was about is later deleted — its name is snapshotted onto the record, not looked up live. And unlike Trash, a Session is never auto-purged: by design, there is no retention or deletion of session history, ever. Restoring one reopens every window it recorded at once.
