Flips the connection model so sidecars register themselves with the API
server via WebSocket at /api/sidecar/register, enabling dynamic discovery,
location independence, and automatic reconnection from either side.
- Add registration protocol types and PTY command/event types
- Create sidecar-registry.ts (replaces sidecar-client.ts) as passive registry
- Create sidecar connector (connect.ts) with exponential backoff reconnect
- Convert process sidecar from WS server to WS client
- Convert PTY sidecar from WS server to multiplexed WS client
- Simplify terminal bridge to thin adapter using registry
- Add PTY sidecar as PM2-managed process
- Update all consumer imports

Introduces a separate Bun process (port 5100) that owns all spawned
processes and long-running work, so the API server can restart freely
without disrupting active sessions.
The sidecar owns:
- Anthropic proxy (port 5051) with persisted secret across restarts
- Claude Code process spawning and session tracking (--resume support)
- Pi agent spawning and RPC lifecycle (prompt/abort/thinking)
- Job queue engine (lane processing, retries, notifications)
The API server becomes a thin client that forwards commands over a
single WebSocket connection with auto-reconnect. send-claude-code.ts
goes from 550 lines of spawn logic to 73 lines of sidecar delegation.
State persisted to data/sidecar/state.json every 30s and on shutdown.
Lockfile prevents duplicate instances. See SIDECAR.md for full docs
and manual testing procedures.
