perf: Operation Lightspeed — 5 parallel performance optimizations

1. Session-scoped SSE subscriptions: server filters events by session ID,
   clients can subscribe via ?sessions=id1,id2 (backwards-compatible)
2. Lazy xterm.js for subagent windows: terminals created on restore,
   disposed on minimize — saves ~3.75MB DOM at 50 agents
3. Targeted badge updates: badge count changes update the <span> directly
   instead of rebuilding the entire session tab sidebar (O(1) vs O(n))
4. Conditional SSE padding: 8KB Cloudflare padding only on session:terminal
   and session:needsRefresh, not every event (~70% bandwidth reduction)
5. Canvas renderer on mobile: skip WebGL addon on mobile devices to reduce
   GPU pressure and prevent context loss on weaker mobile GPUs

All 5 implemented in parallel via isolated git worktrees, merged conflict-free.
