fix(web): heid-review findings — SSE lifecycle teardown + test-shape gaps (v0.19.3)

Cross-frontier panel (Gróa/Hulda/Regin) on the v0.19.2 web surface, triaged:

- FIX (Gróa #1, drift): the turn EventSource `onerror` (raw transport drop)
  now calls hideThinkingNote() — a drop mid-reasoning no longer leaves the
  "<Agent> is pondering…" line + its setInterval running (INV-LIFECYCLE).
- FIX (Gróa #4 + Hulda #1, convergent drift): openAdminEvents now closes the
  EventSource + clears state.adminES on `stream_error` (server signalled end)
  and on a PERMANENT onerror (readyState CLOSED) — native EventSource no longer
  auto-reconnects into a retry loop; transient CONNECTING drops still reconnect.
- TEST (Gróa #2 + Hulda #3): test_routes_registered asserts the 3 new routes;
  test_state_attached asserts app.state.admin_key (create_app POST-001/002).
- TEST (Gróa #3 + Regin #3): AdminEvents stream_error-on-connect-failure test —
  upstream non-200 -> exactly one `stream_error` frame, then ends (POST-003).
- CONTRACT (Hulda #2 + Regin #2, accepted): clarified the Tools inventory
  renders NAMES only by design (descriptions live in the BifrostState pane);
  code unchanged. Also lands the web_debug_surface contract as the trail.

Accepted-no-op: 403-bifrost / non-404-tools tests (identical code path to the
tested 404). Panel found ZERO functional server-side drift; INV-004 escaping
confirmed clean across the new panes. 60 web tests pass; JS + ruff clean.

contract_version: "2.1"
module: "ratatoskr.web"
purpose: "v0.19.2 web debug-surface parity: 3 admin/debug panes (Tools inventory, BifrostState, AdminEvents SSE) proxied server-side with the admin key server-held, plus a reliable PAD-refresh poll and a non-engine reasoning indicator in the transcript."
target_module: "ratatoskr.web (server.py routes + entrypoint.py + static/index.html)"
scope: "v0.19.2 web debug-surface parity — bring the browser surface (now the PRIMARY debug surface) to TUI parity. THREE new admin/debug panes proxied server-side + TWO transcript affordances. (1) Tools inventory: GET /api/sessions/{id}/tools proxies owner-scoped get_session_tools into the tools pane (what the LLM HAS at turn-fire), above the live tool events. (2) BifrostState pane: GET /api/sessions/{id}/bifrost proxies admin-scoped get_session_bifrost; the admin key is SERVER-HELD (app.state.admin_key from RATATOSKR_ADMIN_API_KEY), never sent to the browser. (3) AdminEvents pane: GET /api/admin/events is an SSE proxy of stream_admin_events, session-filtered SERVER-side (heartbeats + other-session events dropped), re-emitted under a fixed 'admin_event' name so every dotted type renders with one browser listener. (4) PAD refresh: the persona/affect pane polls a bounded window instead of a single 2s shot that raced the post-turn-async affect.emit. (5) Reasoning indicator: an ephemeral, clearly-non-engine transcript line on `thinking` deltas, cleared when text begins. Direct in-session TDD (the #17/#18 pattern); this contract is authored post-implementation to anchor the heid code review (the client wrappers get_session_tools/get_session_bifrost/stream_admin_events are already contracted in the sessions/sse_client specs — this contract governs the WEB proxy + presenter surface only)."

assumptions:
- "The three client wrappers exist and are already contracted: get_session_tools(client, session_id)->dict (owner-scoped, consumer bearer; non-200 -> SessionApiFailed), get_session_bifrost(client, session_id, *, admin_key)->dict (OVERRIDES Authorization with admin_key; non-200 -> SessionApiFailed), stream_admin_events(client, *, admin_key)->AsyncIterator[AdminEvent] (non-200 -> SseConnectFailed; mid-drop -> SseConnectionDropped). The web routes are thin proxies over them; they add NO new upstream semantics."
- "AdminEvent = {id:int, type:str, timestamp:str|None, data:dict}. data MOST carry session_id (INV-049). type is a dotted namespace (session.*/turn.*/key.*/system.*)."
- "The web SPA is a single static/index.html served per-request via FileResponse (edits land on browser refresh; server code changes need a restart). Model/tool/admin content is UNTRUSTED text (INV-004) — every render path escapes first (esc() via textContent, or JSON.stringify wrapped in esc())."
- "The internal-LAN trust model (0.0.0.0, no auth/TLS/CORS) is deliberate operator direction. Admin-scoped DATA becoming LAN-visible is accepted under that model; the admin KEY must nonetheless never cross to the browser."
- "Tests: respx mocks the upstream endpoints (absolute w.example URLs) driven through the TestClient; the AdminEvents SSE proxy is tested with a finite mocked SSE byte-stream asserting the filter + fixed event name. Live-proven against ratatoskr:sindra on personal :8081."

(Heid panel Hulda/Regin precision finding — accepted: contract wording clarified, code unchanged; the earlier 'names/descriptions' phrasing in INV-004 refers to the SET of value types that MAY appear across the new panes and must be escaped, not a mandate that every pane render descriptions.)"

- "INV-ADMIN-KEY: the admin key exists ONLY at app.state.admin_key (from RATATOSKR_ADMIN_API_KEY). It is never serialized into any response, never sent to the browser, never logged. The browser receives only the session-filtered RESULT of admin-scoped reads."
- "INV-FILTER: AdminEvents filtering happens SERVER-side (_admin_event_matches_web) — the browser never receives the cross-session admin firehose; only active-session events + non-heartbeat system.* cross the wire."
- "INV-FAIL-VISIBLE: both admin routes return 400 admin_key_not_configured when the key is absent — never a silent empty pane, never an upstream call with an empty bearer."
- "INV-LIFECYCLE: SSE generators and EventSources are cleaned up on every exit path (upstream client aclose() in finally; setInterval cleared in hideThinkingNote; prior EventSource closed before re-open) — no leaked connections, tasks, or timers."
- "INV-ADDITIVE: existing routes, panes, and the turn-stream path are unchanged; the 3 new routes + 2 new tabs are purely additive (59 web tests incl. all prior ones stay green)."

# v0.19.2 — web debug-surface parity (BifrostState · AdminEvents · Tools · PAD-poll · reasoning)
## Context
The browser surface is now the operator's PRIMARY debug surface, and it lagged the
TUI: the TUI gained Tools/BifrostState/AdminEvents panes (v0.18.9.11) that were never
ported to the web. This change closes that gap and adds two transcript affordances (a
reliable PAD refresh + a reasoning indicator). The client wrappers already existed and
are contracted elsewhere; this contract governs the WEB proxy routes + the SPA presenter
paths, whose JS render code is not unit-tested — hence the cross-frontier code review.
## Review focus (for the heid panel)
1. **INV-004 escaping** in every new render path — the un-unit-tested surface; the exact
class of bug (`renderPersonaPane` fabricating a Tier-1 field) that only a cross-model
review caught on #18 D2.
2. **INV-ADMIN-KEY** — confirm the admin key never reaches a response body or the browser.
3. **AdminEvents SSE proxy** (`_admin_events_endpoint`) — generator/filter/lifecycle: fixed
event name, server-side filter, `stream_error` on failure, `aclose()` on every path,
`CancelledError` re-raise on disconnect.
4. **PAD-poll** stop-condition — does `emitted_at` advancement + the `state.turnId` guard
correctly stop the poll without racing or leaking timers?
5. **Reasoning indicator** lifecycle — shown on first `thinking`, removed on first `text`
or terminal, interval cleared (no leaked `setInterval`), name via `textContent`.
