fix: synchronize editor pane state

[jdillon]

Summary

• bind restored Details tabs to their originating project and clear hidden stale selections
• seed new editor hosts from current selection and cached provider data without blanking existing views
• support clearing external references, estimates, and final labels through the Details editor
• use theme-specific Beads tab icons for light and dark themes

Validation

• bunx tsc --noEmit
• bun run lint
• bun run test -- --runInBand (52 tests)
• bun run package
• populated 23-bead code-server fixture smoke test, including reload restoration and clear-value persistence

Follow-up to #90 and the review findings from August 25.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Clearing labels now removes existing labels correctly.
  • Clearing External Reference and Estimate fields saves the intended empty values.
  • Prevented outdated data from appearing after project or selection changes.
  • Project-specific editor state is now restored only for the correct project.

• Improvements

  • Editor panels load faster using short-lived cached data and background refreshes.
  • Multiple open panels stay synchronized during project changes.
  • Added separate light and dark theme icons.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change centralizes issue update argument creation and supports label clearing. Editor providers now support targeted hosts, project-scoped persistence, short-lived snapshots, stale-load rejection, and retained-webview synchronization.

Changes

Issue update serialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update argument construction and execution src/backend/BeadsCommandRunner.ts, src/backend/__tests__/BeadsCommandRunner.test.ts	createUpdateCommandArgs serializes update fields and label removals. update reads current labels for empty set_labels, skips no-op updates, and reports missing issues. Tests cover these paths.

Editor webview state

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Targeted host lifecycle src/providers/BaseViewProvider.ts, src/providers/__tests__/editor-panels.test.ts	Provider initialization seeds hosts, targets loading and errors, uses theme-specific icons, and propagates project changes to retained webviews.
Project-scoped selection and form state src/webview/App.tsx, src/providers/BeadDetailsViewProvider.ts, src/webview/views/DetailsView.tsx, src/providers/__tests__/*	Persisted state now includes version and project identity. Details restoration rejects invalid or cross-project state, clears selections on project changes, and preserves empty form values.
Targeted snapshot loading src/providers/BeadDetailsViewProvider.ts, src/providers/BeadsPanelViewProvider.ts, src/providers/DashboardViewProvider.ts, src/providers/__tests__/editor-panels.test.ts	Providers cache project-scoped snapshots for one second, replay data to new hosts, refresh stale data, and reject superseded or cross-project responses.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 77e3e

This PR changes editor-pane lifecycle and asynchronous loading so repeated pane adoption could trigger duplicate state-changing actions, while overlapping targeted loads can restore stale bead data and affect subsequent edits. The change is otherwise scoped to the active project, but these bounded correctness risks need a fix or explicit owner acceptance before merge.
