feat(mesh): bidirectional routing via tcp_open_reverse and central relay (#1003)

* feat(mesh): bidirectional routing via tcp_open_reverse and central relay

Phase B of the mesh redesign. Adds the reverse-direction protocol so a
pilot's MeshForwarder can route cross-node traffic to central or to
another pilot. Central relays pilot-to-pilot streams transparently;
pilots keep their existing single outbound WS to central.

Protocol additions (backend/src/pilot/protocol.ts):
- TcpOpenReverseFrame { s, targetNodeId, stack, service, port } sent
  agent to primary. Reuses existing tcp_open_ack, tcp_close, and
  TcpData binary frames for the response and byte plane.
- AGENT_REVERSE_ID_BASE = 0x40000001 splits the 32-bit id space so
  agent-allocated reverse stream ids never collide with primary-
  allocated forward ids on the same tunnel.
- StreamIdAllocator now wraps to its configured start (not always 1)
  so an allocator parameterized with the agent base stays in the
  agent half across the wrap.

Agent (backend/src/pilot/agent.ts):
- New ReverseTcpStreamHandle exported class, EventEmitter facade
  matching PilotTunnelBridge.TcpStream's surface (write, end,
  destroy plus open, data, error, close events).
- Public openMeshTcpStream(target) allocates a reverse id, sends
  tcp_open_reverse, returns the handle.
- onTcpOpenAckReverse handles inbound ack, dispatches open or
  error+close to the matching handle.
- TcpData and tcp_close binary/JSON paths route ids in the reverse
  range to reverseTcpStreams; existing primary-allocated paths
  unchanged.
- streamCount, cleanupAfterDisconnect, onStreamIdle include reverse
  streams. The allocator is reset to a fresh base on disconnect so
  long-lived agents that reconnect many times do not drift up the id
  space.
- startPilotAgent registers the agent as MeshService's reverse
  dialer via lazy import.

Bridge (backend/src/services/PilotTunnelBridge.ts):
- Two new StreamState kinds: reverse_local (target = central, dial
  Dockerode container IP) and reverse_relay (target = another pilot,
  open a forward TcpStream on the target pilot's bridge).
- handleTcpOpenReverse validates the agent-id range and stream cap,
  then dispatches to acceptReverseLocal or acceptReverseRelay via
  lazy imports of MeshService, NodeRegistry, and PilotTunnelManager
  (avoids module cycles).
- acceptReverseLocal calls MeshService.resolveContainerIp (now
  public), opens net.createConnection, splices bytes through the
  tunnel. Pre-connect error handler is removed inside connect to
  avoid double-firing with the mid-stream error path.
- acceptReverseRelay opens a forward TcpStream on the target
  bridge, splices bytes between the two tunnels.
- Existing tcp_close and TcpData handlers extended for the new
  state kinds. teardownStream extended.

MeshService (backend/src/services/MeshService.ts):
- resolveContainerIp made public so the bridge's local-target path
  can dial the same shape.
- New reverseDialer field plus setReverseDialer setter. Pilot mode
  registers the agent at boot; central mode leaves it null.
- New private dialMeshTcpStream dispatcher: pilot side uses the
  reverse dialer, central side uses PilotTunnelManager.getBridge.
- openCrossNode refactored to call the dispatcher and use the
  active-stream record's id for activity logging.
- New exported MeshTcpStreamLike interface that both
  PilotTunnelBridge.TcpStream and ReverseTcpStreamHandle satisfy
  structurally; ReverseMeshDialer is the contract for the setter.

Tests (3 files, 16 new cases, 172 total pass):
- pilot-protocol-tcp.test.ts: tcp_open_reverse round-trip; agent
  base invariant.
- pilot-agent-reverse-stream.test.ts: openMeshTcpStream allocation,
  ws-not-open, frame shape, write encoding, end emits tcp_close,
  ack-success, ack-failure, low-id ack ignored, inbound TcpData
  routing.
- pilot-bridge-reverse.test.ts: id-range validation, no-target
  failure, successful local dial against a real upstream server.

Together with PR #1000 (Phase A) and PR #1001 (deps), Phase B
completes the central-pilot-pilot mesh routing matrix. Phase C
(mesh over proxy-mode remotes) is the planned follow-up.

* test(pilot): drop unused encodeJsonFrame import

Lint failed on pilot-agent-reverse-stream.test.ts after the test
changed from constructing tcp_open_reverse frames inline to driving
the agent's frame-dispatch path with synthetic objects. The import
is no longer referenced; ESLint's no-unused-vars rule rejected it.
