* fix(tui): ensure data operations use proper repositories/services for SignalR notifications
Fixed TUI to use proper data manipulation routes:
- Message deletion now uses IMessagesRepository.DeleteAllMessages()
- Session deletion now uses ISmtp4devServer.DeleteAllSessions()
- Ensures SignalR notifications are sent to all connected clients
- Web UI will now refresh when TUI performs delete operations
- Maintains consistency with existing web UI architecture

* feat(tui): pivot to Terminal.Gui - work in progress
Initial implementation with Terminal.Gui:
- Replaced Spectre.Console with Terminal.Gui package
- Created TerminalGuiApp with tabbed layout
- Created MessagesTab with split panes
- Created SessionsTab with split panes
- Created SettingsDialog with form layout
- Created ManagementDialogs for users/mailboxes
- Kept HtmlRenderer for HTML email rendering
Status: Compilation errors remain - needs fixes for:
- TabView API differences
- Settings types (UserOptions vs User)
- DirectoryHelper usage
- Array vs List operations
Next steps: Fix compilation errors and test

* feat(tui): complete Terminal.Gui implementation - compilation successful
Fixed all compilation errors:
- Fixed TabView.Tabs access (use ToList() for indexing)
- Fixed DirectoryHelper static method usage
- Fixed UserOptions and MailboxOptions array handling
- Fixed Session.SessionError property reference
- Added dataDir parameter passing throughout
- Added proper using statements (System.Collections.Generic)
- Converted array operations to List for CRUD operations
Build now successful with zero errors. All TUI components compile:
- TerminalGuiApp: Main app with TabView and StatusBar
- MessagesTab: Message list + details split panes
- SessionsTab: Session list + log split panes
- SettingsDialog: Form-based settings editor
- ManagementDialogs: User and mailbox CRUD dialogs
- SettingsManager: Settings persistence
- HtmlRenderer: HTML to text conversion
- DirectoryHelper: Data directory utilities
