## Title

    [chrome-devtools-mcp] list_pages / session stuck after the selected page closes

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    1.7.0 regression: list_pages fails permanently after selected page is closed
    
    Description of the bug
    
    Regression in 1.7.0 (noted in #2033, where a new issue was requested). After the selected page is closed by something other than this server's own call, every tool call, including `list_pages` and `select_page`, fails with `The selected page has been closed. Call list_pages to see open pages.` The server never recovers until it is restarted.
    
    ## Environment
    GitHub ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp #2898
    
    ## Trigger / context
    Public GitHub issue; recovered after Batch7 novelty audit MISSED_NEW.
