fix: keep workspace panes mounted so they don't render blank after switching back

[mpmisha]

What & why

Switching workspaces rendered a single <TilingLayout/> bound to the active workspace's layout.tilingRoot, so the previous workspace's TerminalPanels unmounted and their xterm instances were disposed. PTY output produced while a workspace was hidden was dropped, and the pane came back blank/stale until a manual resize fired SIGWINCH and the running app (e.g. Copilot CLI) redrew.

Fix

Render every workspace's tiling tree as a stacked, absolutely-positioned layer in .layout-area (active visible, inactive visibility:hidden but still sized and rendering) and mount portals for all terminals via the existing TASK-158 host system. Each xterm keeps consuming its PTY while hidden, so switching back is instant and current — no resize, nothing lost.

Changes

• TilingLayout.tsx — per-workspace stacked layers; portals + host GC over all terminals; active-empty layer shows SessionLoading while restoring (preserves the TASK-117 no-empty-state-flash) / EmptyState otherwise.
• global.css — .tiling-ws-layer (+ .inactive).
• preload.ts — ipcRenderer.setMaxListeners(2000); per-terminal IPC listeners (pty:data/pty:exit) now scale with the total terminal count across all workspaces.
• tests/e2e/workspaces.spec.ts — regression test asserting inactive-workspace panes stay mounted across a switch (fails on the old code).

Testing

• Verified live in the dev build: gave Copilot a task, switched workspace, waited >10s, switched back → content current immediately, no resize.
• e2e suite is Windows-only (fixture hardcodes out-e2e/tmax-win32-x64/tmax.exe), so it can't run on macOS locally. New test + changed sources confirmed to parse via esbuild; existing single-workspace specs use >= N panel-count assertions and class selectors, so the extra layer wrapper doesn't affect them.

Notes

• Follow-up filed (TASK-241): floating panels in inactive workspaces still unmount on switch — this fix is scoped to tiled panes.
