beta.16: anchor background WebView in hidden NSWindow to prevent WebKit throttling

didFinish only fires for cross-document (full page) navigations. After
loading https://claude.ai/login the SPA redirects authenticated users
via history.pushState to /new — this changes the URL visually but never
fires didFinish, so auth was never detected.

KVO on webView.url fires for every URL change including SPA pushState,
covering the case where the app routes client-side after the initial
page load. Both KVO and didFinish now call the same checkCurrentURL
helper so detection is not missed regardless of navigation type.

-- Session Diary card: removed the Claude icon and header row; now shows sample count and avg burn rate left/right with the sparkline below — matching the cleaner Windows layout
+### Bug fixes
+- Fixed the root cause of "Not signed in" after being clearly signed in: claude.ai's auth requires credentials beyond plain HTTP cookies (localStorage tokens, Service Worker state, etc.) that URLSession cannot access. All API calls now run via callAsyncJavaScript inside a background WKWebView, using the same fetch path the page itself uses — credentials are included automatically.
+- Fixed WebKit suspending the background WKWebView: a WKWebView with no window is throttled/suspended by macOS, preventing JS execution. The background WebView is now anchored in a transparent 1×1 NSWindow, keeping it active.
+- Fixed login window auto-closing before sign-in completes — login window loads `/login` and only detects auth when back on claude.ai (not on OAuth provider redirects)
+- Added `/api/organizations` as a final fallback for org ID resolution
+- Fixed Settings incorrectly showing "Signed in" after a failed refresh

+  "notes": "## What's new in v1.2.1\n\n### Bug fixes\n- Fixed the root cause of \"Not signed in\" errors: URLSession was silently discarding the manually-set Cookie header because `httpShouldHandleCookies` defaults to `true`, which makes URLSession replace it with its own (empty) HTTPCookieStorage — claude.ai session cookies live in WKWebsiteDataStore, not HTTPCookieStorage. Setting `httpShouldHandleCookies = false` ensures the cookies are actually sent.\n- Added browser-like request headers (User-Agent, Origin, Referer) matching what Claude's API expects, consistent with the working Windows implementation\n- Removed background WKWebView complexity added in beta.12–13 — reverted to simple URLSession approach with correct cookie handling\n- Fixed login window auto-closing before the user could sign in — login window loads `/login` so auth is only detected after the actual sign-in redirect\n- Fixed login detection for Next.js SPA navigation using KVO on WebView URL (history.pushState doesn't trigger didFinish)\n- Added `/api/organizations` as a final fallback for org ID resolution\n- Fixed Settings incorrectly showing \"Signed in\" after a failed refresh"
