Tenggan ZhangandTeigen 06f9ff6d9c fix: avoid event-loop stalls from synchronous tmux/ps calls (#100)
The stats collector (~2s) and mouse-mode sync (5s) ran execSync (pgrep/ps/
list-panes, 5s timeout each) per session on the server's single thread,
blocking the event loop. With several sessions or a momentarily slow tmux this
froze port 3000 for seconds-to-tens-of-seconds while the process stayed alive
and other ports were unaffected — self-healing, so it never restarted and the
60s loopback healthcheck missed it. Convert these hot-path calls to execAsync.

Also add an always-on event-loop lag monitor (utils/event-loop-monitor.ts) that
logs stalls >=1s to the web log, so this otherwise-invisible class of incident
leaves a quantified, timestamped trace.

/**
* @fileoverview Event-loop lag monitor.
*
* Node is single-threaded: any synchronous work (e.g. a blocking `execSync`)
* freezes the whole event loop, so the HTTP server stops answering on its port
* while the process stays alive and other ports are unaffected. Such stalls
* self-heal and never restart the process, so a periodic loopback healthcheck
* misses them entirely — they leave no trace.
*
* This monitor samples how late a fixed-interval timer actually fires versus when
* it was scheduled; the excess is time the loop was blocked. When that exceeds a
* threshold it logs the measured stall, turning otherwise-invisible "port briefly
* unreachable" incidents into a timestamped, quantified log line.
*
* @module utils/event-loop-monitor
