Show a joined channel's web tab whichever reply comes first (closes #193)

After a join request returned, joinChannel made tab number
tabsRef.current.length active. When the user's own JOIN event had
already added the tab, or the tab was already open, that index was one
past the last tab. The view then fell back to the Server tab and typed
lines were dropped.

joinChannel now records the joined channel's name. An effect makes that
channel's tab active once the tab list holds it, finding the tab by
name.

-- Never commit to `main` or `next` directly. Every change is a pull request from
+- Follow CONVENTIONS.md exactly — it defines the architecture
-  a feature branch into `next`.
+- All exported types, functions, methods, and vars must have doc comments
-- Only the owner merges `next` into `main`.
+- All packages must have a package doc comment
-- A pull request that closes an issue has the title `Description (closes #N)`.
+- JSON tags use camelCase (not snake_case)
-- One logical change per commit.
+- No magic numbers — use named constants
-- Commit messages are in the imperative mood and short.
+- No inline error handling (`if err := ...; err != nil`) — use plain assignment
+- Blank line before every `return` statement
+- Blank line separating embedded fields from regular fields in structs
+- Blank imports must have a justification comment
 
-## Code style
+## Git Workflow
 
-- Follow `CONVENTIONS.md`.
+- **Never commit directly to main** — all changes go on feature branches
-- Outside test files, every package has a package doc comment.
+- Merge to main only when ready and passing all checks
-- Outside test files, every exported type, function and variable has a doc
+- PR titles: `Description (closes #N)` when closing an issue
-  comment.
+- One logical change per commit
-- JSON tags are camelCase. The HTTP API's `last_id`, `pow_token` and
+- Commit messages: imperative mood, concise
-  `hashcash_bits` stay as they are, each with a `//nolint:tagliatelle` comment.
-- Prefer named constants to magic numbers. The `mnd` linter checks for them
-  outside test files.
-- No inline error handling such as `if err := f(); err != nil`. Assign the error
-  on its own line, then test it.
-- A `return` that follows another statement in its block has a blank line before
-  it.
-- A blank line between the embedded fields of a struct and its other fields.
-- Outside test files, every blank import has a comment saying why it is there.
 
 ## Architecture
 
-- The server uses `go.uber.org/fx` for dependency injection.
+- Dependency injection via Uber fx — all components are fx providers
-  `cmd/neoircd/main.go` lists its `fx` providers, such as `db.New` and
+- `internal/` for all application packages — one package per concern
-  `handlers.New`.
+- Handlers return `http.HandlerFunc` using the closure pattern
-- Application packages live under `internal/`, one package per concern.
+- Request/response structs defined inside handler closures
-- `pkg/irc` holds the IRC command names and numeric reply codes.
+- Models embed `models.Base` for database access to relation methods
-- The `web` package embeds the built web client.
+- Database migrations in `internal/db/schema/` — embedded via `go:embed`
-- Each exported `Handle…` method of `Handlers` returns an `http.HandlerFunc`.
+- SQLite by default (pure Go driver: modernc.org/sqlite)
-- A request struct is defined inside the method that decodes it.
-- The server uses the database only through the methods of `db.Database`.
-- The database migrations live in `internal/db/schema/` and are embedded with
-  `go:embed`.
-- The database is SQLite, through the pure Go driver `modernc.org/sqlite`.
 
 ## Testing
 
-- Prefer table-driven tests.
+- Table-driven tests preferred
-- Use `testing.T` helpers, not assertion libraries.
+- Use `testing.T` helpers, not assertion libraries
-- A test file lives next to the code it tests and ends in `_test.go`.
+- Test files live next to the code they test
-- The linter requires each test file to be in the package's external test
+- `_test.go` suffix, same package for white-box testing
-  package, such as `handlers_test`. It allows `export_test.go` and files ending
-  in `_internal_test.go` in the package itself.
-- An `export_test.go` file gives the external tests access to the package's
-  unexported code.

+- Required libraries are listed in CONVENTIONS.md §1
-- No new dependency without a reason given in the pull request.
