Description

When using tab mode "buffers", creating multiple new files results in a single tab. Even :tabe only opens a new empty file in the current tab:

It's possible to switch between the buffers with :bn, but only a single tab named "No Name" is shown.

The unsaved buffers all have the name "No Name":

Research direction
Investigate how the 'buffers' tab mode groups tabs. Look at the code handling tab creation when new files are opened, specifically around buffer naming (all unsaved buffers have 'No Name'). Check the `:tabe` command implementation to see why it opens in the current tab instead of creating a new tab. Possibly involves files in the `src/` directory related to tabs or buffers.
