feat: local echo for mobile input — instant keystroke feedback over high-latency connections

DOM overlay captures keystrokes locally and sends edited text + Enter as separate
events (matching Ink's sendCommand pattern). Block cursor matches Claude Code's
native cursor style. Enabled by default on mobile touch devices.
