- Replaced simulated terminal with xterm.js for native emulation
- Implemented raw TTY byte streaming over WebSockets
- Added support for persistent shell sessions and window resizing (ioctl TIOCSWINSZ)
- Improved SkillManager with a transparent TTY bypass to prevent thread pool saturation
- Added periodic heartbeat-based latency monitoring (RTT)
- Fixed skill_config parsing crash in AI Hub registry
- Enabled auto-scrolling and terminal-to-PTY grid synchronization

DB Models:
- AgentNode: admin-owned, display_name, skill_config toggles (shell/browser/sync),
  invite_token, is_active, last_status/last_seen_at persisted on every connect
- NodeGroupAccess: admin grants groups access with access_level (view/use/admin)
- Migration updated for all new columns + node_group_access table

NodeRegistryService (M2 persistence):
- register() → upserts AgentNode in DB (status=online)
- deregister() → marks AgentNode offline in DB, keeps record for UI
- update_stats() → bumps last_seen_at on every heartbeat
- EventBus with 20 event types: per-node + per-user WS fan-out
- Uses get_db_session() context manager (no extra deps)

API (13 routes):
Admin:
  POST   /nodes/admin              — Create node + generate invite_token
  GET    /nodes/admin              — List all nodes (full detail)
  GET    /nodes/admin/{id}         — Node detail incl. invite_token
  PATCH  /nodes/admin/{id}         — Update skill_config toggles, description
  POST   /nodes/admin/{id}/access  — Grant group access
  DELETE /nodes/admin/{id}/access/{group_id} — Revoke group access
User:
  GET    /nodes/                   — List user-accessible nodes (group-filtered)
  GET    /nodes/{id}/status        — Quick probe
  POST   /nodes/{id}/dispatch      — Dispatch task
  PATCH  /nodes/preferences        — Set default_node_ids + data_source config
  GET    /nodes/preferences        — Read node preferences
WebSocket:
  WS     /nodes/{id}/stream        — Single node live execution stream
  WS     /nodes/stream/all         — Multi-node global bus (split-pane UI)

- NodeRegistryService: in-memory live node registry with rich EventBus
  - emit() delivers all execution events to per-node and per-user subscribers
  - EVENT_TYPES: 20 structured event types (task_start, sync_drift, retry, etc.)
- AgentNode DB model: persists node registrations + invite_token + last_status
- DB migration: auto-creates agent_nodes table + adds new columns
- REST API (/nodes):
  GET  /nodes                   - list all user's nodes (live+DB merged)
  GET  /nodes/{node_id}         - full live status
  GET  /nodes/{node_id}/status  - quick online/offline probe
  POST /nodes/{node_id}/dispatch - dispatch shell/browser task to a node
- WebSocket API:
  WS /nodes/{node_id}/stream    - single-node live execution stream
  WS /nodes/stream/all          - multi-node global bus (split-pane UI ready)
