fix: auto-switch to externally opened tabs (#404)

Update `setupContextTracking` in `BrowserManager` to auto-switch `activePageIndex` to newly opened tabs and invalidate the CDP session accordingly. This mirrors what `newTab()` and `newWindow()` already do for explicitly created tabs, and aligns CLI behavior with how real browsers focus newly opened tabs.

Fixes #384
