Codeman maintainer 085f4acb60 feat(cli): codeman web -d and codeman service install (#231)
Two ways to keep the server running, split by how long it should last.

`codeman web -d` relaunches the same entry script detached (setsid), with
`--stop` and `--status` alongside it. A pidfile and log live in the data
dir. `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. Removing the shell's ability to send one is the fix.

`codeman service install|uninstall|status` writes and loads the systemd
user unit or the LaunchAgent, with the installing shell's PATH baked in
(launchd hands a job /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin, which finds neither a
Homebrew/nvm node nor tmux/claude). install.sh already covers one-liner
installs; this is for npm globals.

Both refuse to start when a server is already up on the data dir, since a
second instance on the shared tmux socket attaches PTYs to the first
one's live sessions. Both poll /api/status until the child answers or
dies rather than reporting a success they have not seen. `--stop` checks
the pid still looks like a Codeman server before signalling it.

The systemd unit name and launchd label move to config/service-names.ts
so install.sh, detectSupervisor() and service install cannot drift into
supervising two copies. Instance-scoped, unchanged for the default
instance.

/**
* @fileoverview `codeman service install|uninstall|status`: write and load the
* systemd user unit (Linux) or LaunchAgent (macOS) that supervises `codeman web`.
*
* This is the "always running" half of issue #231, next to the "detached right
* now" half in daemon-control.ts. `install.sh` already does this for people who
* install with the one-liner; this exists for `npm i -g aicodeman` users, who
* otherwise have to hand-write a plist.
*
* Two details are load-bearing and easy to get wrong by hand:
*
* - **PATH.** launchd hands a job `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin` and systemd's
* user manager is nearly as bare, so a Homebrew or nvm `node`, `tmux` or
* `claude` is simply not found and sessions fail in a way that reads as a
* Codeman bug. The unit therefore carries the PATH of the shell that ran the
* install, with the running node's own directory in front.
* - **The job name.** It is the one `install.sh` and the self-updater already use
* (config/service-names.ts), so re-running install.sh later updates this unit
* instead of supervising a second copy of the server.
*
* Secrets are deliberately NOT written here. `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` in the installing
* shell is not copied into the unit; the caller is told where to add it instead,
* because a unit file is long-lived, world-readable by default, and gets copied
* into bug reports.
*
* The file writers are pure string builders so they can be unit-tested without
* touching launchctl/systemctl.
*
* @module service-installer
