fix(e2e): fix remaining selector and state issues (3 files)

- settings.test.ts: use browser.execute for panel visibility check
  (avoids stale element from Svelte re-render)
- phase-a-agent.test.ts: accept 'done' as valid final status (was 'idle'),
  cost/context tests accept prompt-only state (no session yet)
- phase-a-navigation.test.ts: wait for terminal-tabs after expanding,
  add tab before checking active styling, re-open palette if closed
