+feat(mobile): pop a session or a file preview out beside the dashboard from a native wrapper
+
+A WebView app has no browser pop-ups, so "Open in a new window" had nothing to open on a
+phone, and mobile.css hid it there. An embedding app that can put a page in a window of its
+own (an Android app on a foldable or in split screen) now says so with
+`window.CodemanHost.openWindow(absoluteUrl)`, returning whether a window opened. When it is
+present, the tab pop-out, the file viewer's detach button and a web tab's "open externally"
+go through it, and the tab's pop-out icon defaults on and shows at tablet widths (phone tabs
+keep their gear + close tap zones, so the host offers the pop-out from its own chrome through
+`app.detachSession`). The dashboard
+tracks such a window over the existing window channel, the path a reloaded dashboard already
+uses, and a solo window closes and raises itself through the optional
+`CodemanHost.closeWindow()` / `CodemanHost.focusWindow()`. Browsers define none of these, so
+nothing changes there.

+ * already uses),
+ * 2. a host that refuses leaves the tab docked and toasts,
+ * 3. without a host nothing changes (`openInHostWindow` returns null),
+ * 4. a solo window closes and raises itself through the host when it can.
