claude: Bash live-tail detection + read-only file follower (T-325, core)

The detection/follow core for the live-tail sub-card, with the UI wiring
to follow. Claude Code runs every Bash tool itself and clide only sees the
final tool_result block — we can't mirror the running process, so instead
we detect a file-backed source the command follows and open our own
read-only follower on the same file.

- bash_tail_source.dart: detectBashTailSource() parses a Bash command for a
  single, safe, file-backed source (tail/cat/less with one file arg, inside
  the workspace via resolveUnderRoot). Returns null for a pipe-into-tail, a
  redirect, two files, or a path outside the repo — the caller then shows a
  "nothing to follow" note. bashHasTailIntent() gates WHEN the segment
  appears: v1 triggers on `tail`/follow-flags only, so ordinary cat/ls/git
  cards stay clean (cat/less remain detectable for later).
- file_tail_follower.dart: a polling, read-only `tail -f`-style follower
  (no subprocess, no touching Claude's command) that emits the trailing
  window then appended deltas, and re-reads from the top on truncation.

Tested: 19 parser cases (incl. the `git push | tail -25` and outside-
workspace null cases), the intent predicate, and the follower (initial
window / appended delta / missing file / rotation / start / stop).

/// Read-only file follower for the Bash live-tail sub-card (T-325).
///
/// clide can't see a running Bash command's stdout (Claude Code owns the
/// process), so to "watch the same output" we open our OWN read-only follower
/// on the file the command tails. This never spawns a process and never
/// touches Claude's command — it just reads the file as it grows, like
/// `tail -f`, and hands new bytes to [onData].
///
/// Pure dart:io/dart:async (no Flutter) so it's unit-testable. Polls rather
/// than using a watcher so it works uniformly across platforms and survives
/// truncation/rotation (size shrinking → re-read from the top).
