Replaces the ~400-line inline template string in claude-md.ts with a
file read from src/templates/case-template.md. Removes the hardcoded
/home/arkon/default/CLAUDE.md path from server.ts. The build script
now copies the template to dist/templates/ for production use.

TUI now checks if web server is running on startup and offers to start
it in the background. Added new CLI options: --with-web (auto-start),
--no-web (skip check), -p (port).
TUI feature parity with web interface:
- Shell mode: press 'h' in cases view to start bash instead of Claude
- Multi-start: press 'm' to start 1-20 sessions at once
- Respawn toggle: Ctrl+R to enable/disable respawn on Claude sessions
- Session rename: API support via useSessionManager hook
Security fixes from previous analysis:
- Command injection prevention in screen-manager.ts
- Path traversal protection in server.ts
- Input validation for shell-interpolated values
Also fixes memory leak in session.ts (timer tracking) and flaky test
timeout in session-cleanup.test.ts.

The InnerLoopTracker is now disabled by default and auto-enables when
Ralph-related patterns are detected:
- /ralph-loop command
- <promise>PHRASE</promise> completion phrases
- TodoWrite tool usage
- Iteration patterns (Iteration 5/50, [5/50])
- Todo checkboxes (- [ ]/- [x]) or indicator icons
This reduces noise for sessions that don't use Ralph loops while
maintaining full functionality when loops are detected.
Changes:
- Add `enabled` property to InnerLoopState type
- Add enable()/disable() methods to InnerLoopTracker
- Implement shouldAutoEnable() for pattern detection
- Update frontend to show "Tracking" status when enabled
- Add CSS for tracking state indicator
- Update CLAUDE.md documentation
- Add comprehensive tests for auto-enable behavior
