feat(terminal-agent): 25s WS keepalive ping/pong + client keepalive frames
PTY connections were dying silently after NAT idle timeouts (30-60s on most
home routers, even shorter on some carrier-grade NAT) and Chrome MV3 panel
suspension. Neither side noticed until the user's next keystroke produced
no output. Both sides now drive a 25s keepalive cycle.

Server side (browse/src/terminal-agent.ts):
  * New ws.open handler constructs the PtySession eagerly and starts a
    setInterval that sends `{type:"ping",ts:Date.now()}` every 25s.
    Interval handle stored on session.pingInterval so close() can clear it.
  * PtySession.pingInterval field added; cleared in ws.close before
    disposeSession runs. Prevents timer leak across reconnects.
  * Message handler accepts `{type:"ping"|"pong"|"keepalive"}` silently —
    keepalive frames are a liveness signal at the TCP layer, no state to
    update. Existing resize/tabSwitch/tabState handling unchanged.
  * GSTACK_PTY_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL_MS env knob (default 25000) lets the
    upcoming e2e tests compress idle assertions without 30s waits.

Client side (extension/sidepanel-terminal.js):
  * Belt-and-suspenders: client also runs a 25s setInterval that sends
    `{type:"keepalive"}`. Defends against Chrome pausing our timers if
    the server-side ping ever gets dropped (rare but possible in MV3).
  * Ping reply: on `{type:"ping",ts}` from the server, immediately send
    `{type:"pong",ts}`. Lets the agent observe round-trip latency for
    free and confirms the channel is bidirectional.
  * Interval cleared in three teardown paths: ws.close handler,
    teardown(), forceRestart(). Three paths exist because the sidebar
    can exit the LIVE state through any of them; all three must clean up
    or we leak timers across reconnects.

Test (browse/test/terminal-agent-keepalive.test.ts):
  * Static-grep tripwires for the 7-point protocol contract: agent has
    a configurable interval, open() starts the ping, close() clears it,
    message handler accepts keepalive vocabulary, client sends keepalive
    + replies pong, and all three client teardown paths clear the timer.
  * Wire-level tests (actually observe a ping after 25s) belong in the
    e2e tier — adding them here would either flake on slow CI or require
    a real Bun.serve listener per test which we don't want to pay for
    in the free tier.
