- Added debug panel in terminal view that shows all terminal activity
- Added debugLog() method to TerminalManager for consistent logging
- Updated connectTerminal, handleTerminalMessage, launchCommand, createTerminal, initializeXTerm with detailed logging
- Enhanced backend logging for WebSocket messages and close codes
- Logs now show both to console and visual debug panel
This should help diagnose the terminal command execution issue without
requiring browser console access.
Phase 1 of systematic debugging: Gather evidence
Added detailed logging to trace the complete command flow:
- launchCommand: Shows when called, terminalId, command, WebSocket state
- waitForTerminalReady: Shows waiting period and ready state
- handleTerminalMessage: Shows all messages from backend with details
- WebSocket message content logged before sending
Also fixed duplicate 'ready' message (removed line 113-116).
Now when user creates "Claude Code CLI" terminal, console will show:
1. launchCommand called with terminalId and command
2. Waiting for terminal ready
3. Ready message received (or timeout)
4. Command sent to WebSocket
5. All backend messages logged
This will reveal exactly where the flow breaks.

Critical fix: The frontend was waiting for a 'ready' message that the
backend never sent, causing commands to timeout.
Root Cause:
Frontend connectTerminal() waits for 'ready' message from backend
before resolving, but backend never sent this message. Result: Frontend
timed out after 5 seconds waiting for ready state, and commands were
never sent.
Fix:
Send 'ready' message immediately when WebSocket connection is established.
This signals to frontend that PTY is initialized and ready to receive input.
Flow Now:
1. Frontend creates terminal UI
2. Frontend initializes xterm.js
3. Frontend connects WebSocket
4. Backend receives connection, sends 'ready' message
5. Frontend receives 'ready', sets ready=true, resolves promise
6. Frontend sends claude --dangerously-skip-permissions command
7. Command executes successfully
Resolves: "still getting empty terminal"
