kyleandClaude Opus 5.5 f445675292 Add tailnew: follow the newest log file in a directory
tailnew tails the most recently started file in a directory and switches
to each new one as it appears, for watching harnesses such as boxmaker's
run-plan.sh that write one log per task. A file counts as new when its
name is new, when the name points at a different file, or when it has
shrunk (a rerun truncating its old log).

Three front ends share one follower: plain tail -f style output, a
ratatui terminal view with scrollback, and an egui window with a folder
dialog and a Recursive checkbox. The Makefile provides build, gate and a
per-user install that also installs a desktop entry for the window.
