What

ttyd (a small C program; no Node on the server) runs the launcher once per browser connection and serves the terminal (xterm.js) to the browser.

Done when

  • A systemd unit, as an unprivileged user, listening on localhost only
  • A cap on concurrent sessions, with a clear "busy, try again" past it
  • A browser session reaches the prompt, in a scripted test against the websocket

Built and tested in 9e711563, on StarForth-v4.0.0; reaches master by PR, through acceptance. See demo/README.md, Tested: ready 0.2 s after a session starts (a cold boot is 87 s); 3 4 + . -> 7 ok through ttyd's websocket; QEMU gone at once on hang-up, close and time-out.
