feat: add kickstart prompt and auto-compact context options

Kickstart Prompt:
- Remove Idle Timeout setting from respawn UI (uses 10s default)
- Add Kickstart Prompt field sent when /init doesn't trigger work
- New states: monitoring_init, sending_kickstart, waiting_kickstart
- Monitors 3s after /init to detect if Claude started working

Auto-Compact Context:
- Add auto-compact at 110k tokens (sends /compact with optional prompt)
- Preserves summarized context unlike /clear which wipes everything
- Optional focus prompt to guide what compact should preserve
- Blocks auto-clear while compacting to prevent conflicts

Also updates auto-clear default threshold from 100k to 140k tokens.

### Key Components
- **Session** (`src/session.ts`): Wraps Claude CLI as PTY subprocess. Two modes: `runPrompt(prompt)` for one-shot, `startInteractive()` for persistent terminal. Emits events: `output`, `terminal`, `message`, `completion`, `exit`, `idle`, `working`, `autoClear`, `clearTerminal`.

- **RespawnController** (`src/respawn-controller.ts`): State machine that keeps sessions productive. Detects idle → sends update prompt → optionally `/clear` → optionally `/init` → repeats. State flow: `WATCHING → SENDING_UPDATE → WAITING_UPDATE → SENDING_CLEAR → WAITING_CLEAR → SENDING_INIT → WAITING_INIT → WATCHING`

State flow: `WATCHING → SENDING_UPDATE → WAITING_UPDATE → SENDING_CLEAR → WAITING_CLEAR → SENDING_INIT → WAITING_INIT → MONITORING_INIT → (optional) SENDING_KICKSTART → WAITING_KICKSTART → WATCHING`
- **ScreenManager** (`src/screen-manager.ts`): Wraps sessions in GNU screen for persistence across server restarts. On startup, reconciles with `screen -ls` to restore sessions and discovers unknown "ghost" screens. Uses 4-strategy kill process to prevent orphaned claude processes.

- **One-shot mode**: Uses `--output-format stream-json` for detailed token usage from JSON

### Auto-Compact & Auto-Clear
Sessions support automatic context management when token thresholds are reached:
- **Auto-Compact** (default: 110k tokens): Sends `/compact` command with optional prompt to summarize context
- **Auto-Clear** (default: 140k tokens): Sends `/clear` to reset context entirely
Both wait for Claude to be idle before executing. Auto-compact runs first if both are enabled. Configured via `session.setAutoCompact(enabled, threshold?, prompt?)` and `session.setAutoClear(enabled, threshold?)`.
