fix(crew): don't kill pane processes when creating new session

Browse Source 
KillPaneProcesses was being called on new sessions before respawn,
which killed the fresh shell and destroyed the pane. This caused
"can't find pane" errors on session creation.

Now KillPaneProcesses is only called when restarting in an existing
session where Claude/Node processes might be running and ignoring
SIGHUP. For new sessions, we just use respawn-pane directly.

Also added retry limit and error checking for the stale session
recovery path.
