Summary

Phase A, item A8 of the API Client plan.

• A tab opened from a collection, or saved into one, now remembers which request it belongs to (source and savedFingerprint on the tab).
• While a tab differs from what was saved, a dot replaces its close button; the X comes back on hover. Undoing the edit clears the dot.
• ⌘S overwrites that request in place, in both normal and folder-of-YAML collections. On a new tab, or one whose request was deleted, it opens the Save dialog. A failed save keeps the dot, so the next ⌘S retries.
• Clicking a request that is already open focuses its tab.
• Duplicated tabs are unlinked copies. Editing the URL no longer renames a saved request's tab.

Behaviour change: folder defaults are applied at send time

Opening a request used to copy its folder's default headers, auth and scripts into the tab. If ⌘S saved that back, the folder defaults would be written into the request and folder scripts would run twice. Now withFolderDefaults merges them when sending, copying cURL and generating code. The trade-off is that inherited headers no longer appear in the tab's Headers list.

Fixes along the way

• "Save as" now keeps pre-request and test scripts, timeout and the cookie-jar setting. Before, they were dropped.
• ⌘S does not write saved examples or comments. A tab can hold stripped copies of example bodies when storage runs low, and saving them back would wipe the stored ones. Form-data file contents lost the same way are taken from the stored request instead of being blanked.
• OAuth2 tokens inherited from a folder are no longer written back into the tab when refreshed.

Not in this PR

• No "unsaved changes" warning when closing a dirty tab (edits are still kept across reloads).
• New tabs that were never saved don't show a dot.

Test plan

• tsc --noEmit passes
• Full jest suite passes (122 suites), including new saved-request tests for the dirty check, save patch and folder defaults
• The 2 new strings are translated into all 27 locales
• Tauri: send a request from a folder with default headers and confirm they are sent
• Tauri: edit, see the dot, press ⌘S, confirm the dot clears and the change is still there after reopening
• Tauri: click an already-open request in the sidebar and confirm its tab is focused
• Tauri: ⌘S on a new tab opens Save; after saving, edit + ⌘S updates the same request
