termui holds lock #1556
Description
termui holds a lock while it's running, and so other invocations of git-bug complain that they can't access tickets, etc. It would be much better if git-bug termui could be used to monitor ticket changes (from AI agents running under the same account, for example) and it only attempted to acquire locks when the user is trying to edit in the UI.

yes, the current implementation of locking means that any time a UI is started
(CLI, TUI, or web), the repo is locked until the process completes (generally
speaking). this is crude and does lead to problems given certain workflows or
assumptions, and is briefly talked about in A vision for the future of
git-bug.
this issue can serve as the source of truth for discussion around this specific
topic.

Yeah, git bug is great for agentic development but this lock holds it back.
