fix(tmux): use KillSessionWithProcesses to prevent zombie bash processes

Browse Source 
When Claude sessions were terminated using KillSession(), bash subprocesses
spawned by Claude's Bash tool could survive because they ignore SIGHUP.
This caused zombie processes to accumulate over time.

Changed all critical session termination paths to use KillSessionWithProcesses()
which explicitly kills all descendant processes before terminating the session.

Fixes: gt-ew3tk
