When Iced's Tree reconciliation recycles TerminalViewState for a different terminal (e.g., tab switching in a multi-tab app), the cached layout size prevents the resize check from firing. The new terminal's PTY stays at ~10 columns instead of resizing to match the actual widget dimensions. Fix: track terminal_id in TerminalViewState. When the state is reused for a different terminal, reset size to zero to force resize. Closes Harzu#67

Summary
Fixes #67 — when using multiple terminal instances with tab switching or
pane_grid, non-first terminals render with wrong column count (~10 instead of 80+).Root Cause
TerminalViewState.sizepersists across different terminals due to Iced's Tree reconciliation (diff()). When switching from Terminal A to Terminal B in the same widget position, the state from A (withsizealready set to the correct layout dimensions) is reused for B. The resize checkstate.size != layout_sizeevaluates tofalse, soCommand::Resizeis never published for the new terminal.Changes
