enricobuehler a85e845255 fix(web): the console stops falling out of its own design system
A pre-release sweep of the management console for two things that no type check
and no diff can catch: primitives that were never @unom/ui's, and animation
that a nested motion parent quietly cancelled.

THE PRESET TILES ALL LANDED ON THE SAME FRAME. @unom/ui's <Section> sets
`delayChildren: stagger(...)`, so a page whose cards are direct descendants of
it staggers for free — which is why every page but one looked right. An
<AnimatedCard> is ALSO a motion element and sets no `delayChildren`, and the
Virtual displays preset tiles are cards nested INSIDE that page's config card,
so that card became their timing group. Measured in a headless browser: the
opacity spread between the first and last tile was 0.00 across the whole
animation (six tiles in lockstep), and is 0.98 now — a ~100 ms cascade matching
the rest of the console. The four hand-rolled copies of the stagger container
collapse into one `<Stagger>` that carries the explanation.

FIVE FILES IMPORTED THE WRONG BUTTON. `@unom/ui/button` exports both a plain
`Button` and the `AnimatedButton` that this console's wrapper re-exports under
the same name — so `import { Button } from "@unom/ui/button"` compiles, renders,
and silently opts out of the mount animation and the hover/tap response.
Displays, SessionGame, GPU, Update and PendingDevices had dead buttons sitting
next to live ones.

THREE PRIMITIVES HAD NO WRAPPER, SO NOBODY REACHED FOR THEM. @unom/ui ships
form/select, form/textarea and form/checkbox; components/ui did not, and the
gap was filled with browser-chrome `<select>`, `<textarea>` and
`<input type="checkbox">` in the add-hook modal and both library forms. Select
needs the same token correction Tabs needed — upstream `text-secondary` is a
text colour, but here `--secondary` is a SURFACE, so the trigger's chevron and
placeholder rendered at near-zero contrast on the card behind them.

The hook timeout also stops accepting a value the host rejects: `min`/`max` on
a controlled `<input type="number">` are decoration (no form validation ever
runs), so 900 went into a field capped at 600 and failed later, at run time.
@unom/ui's InputNumber clamps on blur and lets the field be empty while you
retype instead of snapping to the fallback.

Storybook gains the page that had no story at all — the console's largest
config surface, and the reason this shipped unseen. Its <Card> wrapper is load
bearing: it reproduces the motion nesting that IS the bug.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 4a5d4b0a71 feat(web): the console follows the host's events instead of asking ten times a minute
The host has published every lifecycle transition on GET /api/v1/events since the
API existed — client connect/disconnect, session and stream start/end, pairing
decisions, display create/release, library, store and plugin changes — and
nothing consumed a byte of it. The console instead polled ten endpoints on 1-5 s
timers, so a change was up to 5 s stale and two pages could disagree while you
looked at them. The Library page polled not at all: install a game in Steam and
it never appeared until a full reload.

The console now subscribes once and invalidates exactly the queries an event
affects. Events never carry data into the cache — they only say "this is stale" —
so an unknown future kind costs nothing and a missed event degrades to the
polling that is still there underneath, now at a slow safety-net interval. The
fast ticks that remain are the ones events cannot express: the live stream
numbers while streaming, and a lingering display's teardown countdown.

Four things had to be true for this to work, and none of them were. Each was
found by measuring, not by reading:

- Nitro's `localFetch` accumulates the response and only builds it when the
  handler returns, so nothing streams through the deployed Bun server. Three
  frames sent a second apart arrived together, three seconds late, when the
  upstream closed — and an SSE stream never closes, so nothing would ever have
  arrived. /api/v1/events gets its own route that hands back a web Response
  wrapping the upstream stream, which passes straight through.
- Hydration mounts the app shell and discards it ~15 ms later. A subscription
  owned by that effect opened, closed, and never came back. It is a refcounted
  module singleton now, with a grace period so a remount re-attaches instead of
  reconnecting.
- `getRouter()` runs more than once in the browser, and each call built its own
  QueryClient. The subscription held the first, the live pages read the second,
  and every invalidation went to a cache nobody was reading. One client per
  browser session; the server still gets a fresh one per request, which it must.
- `invalidateQueries` only refetches queries that currently have an observer.
  An event means the HOST changed, so every cached copy is wrong whether or not
  something is watching it.

Two features fall out of the same work:

- **Automation** — a page for GET/PUT /api/v1/hooks. The host has run these
  hooks all along and the console never showed them, so the only way to see what
  your machine does when a stream starts was to open the config file. Writing one
  means writing a shell command the host will execute, so saving re-asks for the
  console password, like an update or an unreviewed install.
- The Host page warns when another Moonlight-compatible server (Sunshine,
  Apollo) is running on the same machine. The host has detected this at startup
  for ages and reported it in /local/summary; nothing surfaced it. It is the most
  common reason a host looks installed and working but no client can reach it.

Verified in a real browser against a mock host: three events drive three
refetches of a query with no polling timer, the conflicts card names the
intruder, the hook list and its dialog render, and the console reports no errors.
