[BUG] Hardcoded terminal buffer filter breaks with external terminal setups #206

Bug Description

The terminal buffer filter in selection.lua is hardcoded to only match buffers containing "claude" in their name. When Claude Code runs via sidekick.nvim with mux.backend = "tmux", the terminal buffer is named term://...tmux - it never contains "claude". As a result, selection tracking treats the tmux terminal as an active code buffer instead of ignoring it.

I have a fix ready and will open a PR shortly.

To Reproduce

  1. Configure claudecode.nvim with terminal.provider = "none"
  2. Launch Claude Code via sidekick.nvim with tmux backend
  3. Switch cursor to the Claude Code terminal pane
  4. Selection tracking reports the tmux terminal buffer instead of the last active code file

Expected Behavior

Selection tracking should ignore the terminal buffer and retain the last active code buffer, regardless of how Claude Code was launched.

Environment

n/a - the issue is in the Lua filter logic, independent of versions.

Error Messages

No error messages. The filter silently fails to match.
