feat(tui): auto close permission prompt when another client responds

When two clients share a session and one of them answers a permission prompt, the other client now sees its modal close automatically as the resolution arrives, instead of being left holding a stale dialog over an already decided request. The initial pending notification is ignored so the modal it just opened is not immediately dismissed. Co-Authored-By: Charm Crush <crush@charm.land>
