fix(terminal): report a click to the CLI only when it asked for the mouse

Found while verifying Auto Copy in a browser: a plain left click in a
claude/codex/gemini pane sent a synthetic SGR mouse report into the PTY
whether or not the program in that pane had ever enabled mouse tracking.
When the pane holds a plain shell (the CLI exited, or a shell was started
inside a session of that mode) readline prints the report as literal text
and it garbles the next line typed:

    $ [<0;88;20Mecho hello
    bash: 0: No such file or directory

The cause is that the browser could not know. The full strip
(isAltScreenStripMode) removes the mouse DECSETs from the stream, so
xterm's modes.mouseTrackingMode is permanently 'none' for those modes and
_sendSyntheticSgrTap() hand-encodes reports to stand in for xterm's own
encoder. With no state to consult it had to do that on every click.

What the strip removes, the server now remembers.
_recordStrippedMouseMode() records each sequence as it is stripped,
toState() publishes it as cliMouseTracking, and the browser's
_shouldReportMouseToCli() (renamed from _sessionUsesServerMouseStrip)
requires it at all three report sites: the desktop click, the touchend
tap, and the mobile tap classifier.

Details that are easy to get wrong:

* Only the tracking modes count (1000/1001/1002/1003). 1005/1006 select
  an encoding and 1007 is alt-scroll; a CLI that picks SGR encoding
  without turning tracking on is not asking about clicks, and counting
  those would put the stray reports straight back.
* Modes are held in a Set, so a TUI disabling a mode it never enabled
  cannot clear the ones that are really on.
* The change broadcasts immediately instead of through
  broadcastSessionStateDebounced: the flag flips when a dialog opens, and
  the user can click that dialog well inside the 500ms debounce window.
* It fails toward silence. After a server restart the flag is false until
  the CLI re-emits its DECSET, which tmux does at client attach.

Verified against a live claude 2.x session: the CLI holds a tracking mode
on continuously, so its clicks are still reported byte for byte as
before, while a bash prompt in the same stripped mode now reports
nothing and types cleanly. The flag also propagates live over SSE in both
directions, checked by toggling ?1002h/?1002l from inside the pane.

**Auto Copy (copy-on-select)** (`autoCopySelection`, per-device, default OFF): a finished terminal selection lands on the clipboard with no keystroke. ⚠️ It fires at the END of a gesture, never in `onSelectionChange` (that callback runs per cell crossed, so copying there is one clipboard write per mouse move); it only ARMS `_autoCopyPending`, and a document-level `mouseup` listener flushes. ⚠️ The flush is SYNCHRONOUS inside the handler because both clipboard paths need user activation (Firefox gates `navigator.clipboard.writeText` on it, and the plain-HTTP `execCommand` fallback must run in the gesture's own task); a timer or a wait for `onSelectionChange` loses it, invisibly in Chrome. ⚠️ Touch needs its OWN calls from `_endTouchSelectionGesture()`/`_selectTouchSelectionLine()`: that path `preventDefault()`s its touchend, so no mouseup ever arrives and the toggle would be dead on phones. ⚠️ Unlike `copyTerminalSelection()` it must NOT clear the selection (the text would vanish under the cursor that highlighted it) and must NOT focus the terminal (that opens the on-screen keyboard over it); focus is RESTORED to whatever held it, which only matters for the `execCommand` fallback. Guards are pure in `decideAutoCopy()` (constants.js): off, blank/whitespace-only, and a 1M-char cap (an autoscrolling drag can sweep the whole 50k-line scrollback), refused rather than truncated with a toast pointing at Ctrl+C. Silent on success except once per page load; failures toast, throttled 10s. Tests: `test/terminal-auto-copy.test.ts`.
**Terminal scrollback strip + wheel/touch forwarding** (#205): codex/claude/gemini get the FULL strip (alt-screen, `3J`, mouse DECSETs); tmux-backed shell/opencode/antigravity get a NARROW strip (alt-screen toggles only — it removes tmux's own attach-time `smcup`, which otherwise parks xterm in the scrollback-less alt buffer and turns the wheel into arrow keys). ⚠️ Gated on `useMux`: direct-PTY fallback sessions must keep the alt screen for vim/less/htop. Wheel AND touch forward to the CLI transcript for **claude ≥ 2.1.187 ONLY** at ANY scroll position (snap-to-bottom first); Shift+wheel and the `terminalWheelLocalScrollback` setting stay local. ⚠️ Codex was in that list and must never go back without a fresh measurement: codex-cli 0.147.0 ignores SGR wheel reports entirely (`mouse_any_flag=0`, inline viewport, transcript pushed into terminal scrollback), so forwarding produced a dead wheel (#227 follow-up). `_wheelScrollLines()` reads `ev.deltaMode` (Firefox = LINE units). ⚠️ When that gate is FALSE on a claude session whose local buffer is hollow (`baseY === 0`), the gesture becomes coalesced PageUp/PageDown key sends (`_maybePageCliTranscript`) instead of a no-op; ⚠️ and `getClaudeCliVersion()` must never cache a FAILED probe (one timeout used to disable forwarding process-wide until restart). `_logScrollRouting()` prints the routing decision and its inputs once per session — read it before diagnosing a scroll report. → [architecture-invariants#terminal-scrollback-strip-flavors-and-wheeltouch-forwarding](docs/architecture-invariants.md#terminal-scrollback-strip-flavors-and-wheeltouch-forwarding)

**Detached start + service install** (issue #231): `codeman web -d` relaunches the SAME entry script with `detached:true` (setsid), so there is no controlling terminal and no shell job entry. ⚠️ `nohup` is NOT what makes this work: Node re-arms SIGHUP to its default disposition even when it inherits "ignore", and `cli.ts` handles SIGHUP with a graceful shutdown, so a delivered HUP still stops the server. ⚠️ Both `-d` and `service install` must REFUSE when a server is already up on this data dir (pidfile check + `/api/status` probe): a second instance on the shared tmux socket attaches PTYs to the first one's live sessions. ⚠️ Neither may report success it has not observed — the parent polls `/api/status` until the child answers or dies, since `launchctl load` and a clean spawn are both silent about a server that starts and immediately exits. `--stop` verifies the pid still LOOKS like a Codeman server (`ps -o command=`) before signalling, because pids get recycled. Unit/label names live in `config/service-names.ts` so install.sh, `detectSupervisor()` and `service install` cannot drift into supervising two copies; they are instance-scoped, and identical to the historical names for the default instance. `service install` bakes the installing shell's PATH into the unit (launchd gives a job `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin`, which finds neither a Homebrew/nvm `node` nor `tmux`/`claude`) and never writes `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` into it. → [architecture-invariants#detached-start-and-service-install](docs/architecture-invariants.md#detached-start-and-service-install)
