Mitchell Hashimoto 3de3f48faf macos: fix undo/redo for closing windows with multiple tabs
When closing a window that contains multiple tabs, the undo operation
now properly restores all tabs as a single tabbed window rather than
just restoring the active tab.

The implementation:
- Collects undo states from all windows in the tab group before closing
- Sorts them by their original tab index to preserve order
- Clears tab group references to avoid referencing garbage collected objects
- Restores all windows and re-adds them as tabs to the first window
- Tracks and restores which tab was focused (or focuses the last tab if none were)

AI prompts that generated this commit are below.

Each separate prompt is separated by a blank line, so this session was
made up with many prompts in a back-and-forth conversation.

I should note at this point that the feature already worked, but the
code quality and organization wasn't up to my standards. If someone
using AI were just trying to make something work, they might be done at
this point.

I do think this is the biggest gap I worry about with AI-assisted
development: bridging between the "it works" stage at a junior quality
and the "it works and is maintainable" stage at a senior quality. I
suspect this will be a balance of LLMs getting better but also senior
code reviewers remaining highly involved in the process.

Manual: made some tweaks to comments, moved some lines around, didn’t change
any logic.

Notes on the last one: it gave me a bunch of suggestions, I rejected most but
did accept some.

> Can you write me a commit message summarizing the changes?

It wrote me a part of the commit message you're reading now, but I
always manually tweak the commit message and add my own flair.
