/**
 * @file pty-attach.js
 * @description Bridges one WebSocket connection to an `@lydell/node-pty`-backed
 * `tmux attach-session` process, run with the live tmux server's own binary
 * (`attachBinary`). Binary WS frames carry raw PTY bytes in
 * both directions; text WS frames carry small JSON control messages
 * (`resize`, and an outbound `exit` sent once when the pane process/tmux
 * session ends). Multiple browser tabs each get their own PTY attach
 * process, and ONE of them sizes the window: the DRIVER — the first to attach,
 * then whichever sent `{type:"resize", drive:true}` last (the client does on a
 * click or a keystroke). Every other attach is a follower: its PTY is held at
 * the driver's size and told so (`{type:"size", cols, rows}`) so its xterm
 * renders the same grid, scaled to fit, instead of each browser resizing tmux
 * under the others. A driver that leaves sends `{type:"lead"}` to the rest.
