In the TUI session list, the message count column always shows 0. The message count is not being populated from the database or computed correctly for the TUI.

## Summary of Changes

In `src/tui/run.rs`: after building the session list from disk discovery, open the DB and query `session_id, COALESCE(project_path, ''), message_count` from the sessions table. Use `tokio::task::block_in_place` to run the async DB query from the synchronous TUI startup. Populate `msg_count` on each `SessionListItem` from the DB result.
