replaces the single hardcoded systemd VNC service with a dynamic
sidecar that manages per-user VNC sessions on demand. any authenticated
user can now access their own desktop, not just Super Admin.

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.

- Added detailed error logging to detect snap node compatibility issues
- When Pi process exits with code 1, log helpful diagnostic info including node path
- Add hint to check for snap node and reinstall via apt/nvm
- Create SNAP_NODE_COMPATIBILITY.md with full troubleshooting guide
- Document root cause: snap node has file descriptor incompatibility with Bun.spawn stdin pipes
- Provide clear installation instructions for NodeSource and nvm alternatives
