review BLOCKER: PTY input forwarding + raw mode toggle

Phase 1 review caught a structural gap: executor.exec only drained the
PTY master fd, never forwarded user keystrokes — vim/less/htop/nano
would render and hang on input. PHASE1.md §5 specified bidirectional
multiplex but only the read leg landed. tcgetattr/tcsetattr were also
missing, so even with input forwarding the parent's line discipline
would buffer until newline (breaking single-key UIs).

ffi/libc:
  - struct termios opaque buffer + tcgetattr/tcsetattr + cfmakeraw
  - M.set_raw(fd) saves termios + applies cfmakeraw; returns saved or
    (nil, err) when fd isn't a tty (scripted / piped-stdin runs)
  - M.restore_termios(fd, saved)
  - struct pollfd + M.poll (POLLIN constant)

executor:
  - multiplex(sess): poll(stdin, master); reads master on any revents
    (POLLHUP fires when child closes its slave end, not POLLIN — the
    revents != 0 check catches both); forwards stdin keystrokes to
    master; loop exits when master read returns 0 (EOF / child gone)
  - stdin polling is only enabled when stdin_is_tty (set_raw succeeded);
    piped-stdin runs (tests / scripted) would otherwise drain queued
    aish commands into the child of the *current* cmd, swallowing them
  - raw mode is restored before returning so the user lands back at the
    aish prompt in canonical mode

renderer + repl:
  - exec_output(out, code) split into exec_begin() (top rule, before
    spawn) + exec_end(code) (closing rule with exit, after wait). PTY
    multiplex streams the body live to stdout in between; the renderer
    never re-prints the body.

PHASE1.md §3:
  - tcgetattr/tcsetattr changed from "optional" to "required for
    single-key UIs to work — done-criteria #2"; poll added to the libc
    row description.

Verified:
  - non-interactive smoke (echo / false / exit 7 / ls /nonexistent /
    printf multi-line) — all exit codes correct, output streamed live,
    a\nb\nc\n preserved byte-for-byte
  - scripted-stdin run reaches all expected lines (no stdin draining
    into a non-interactive child)
  - aish prompt + framed exec block + exit-code line all render in
    correct order

Live interactive verification (vim / less / htop in a real terminal)
still needs a user-test pass.

|---|---|---|
| `ffi/curl.lua` | Blocking POST; response captured into a Lua string | Add `M.post_sse(url, body, headers, on_event)`. `on_event(delta)` is called per parsed SSE `data:` line. The Phase 0 `M.post` stays for non-streaming consumers. |
| `ffi/pty.lua` | Stub | Implement: `M.spawn(argv) -> handle`; handle exposes `:read()`, `:write(data)`, `:close()`, `:wait() -> exit_code`. Uses `forkpty` + `waitpid`. |
| `ffi/libc.lua` | `chdir`, `errno`, `strerror` | Add `waitpid`, `WEXITSTATUS` (macro materialized in Lua), `read`, `write`, `close`, `kill`, optional `tcgetattr`/`tcsetattr` for raw-mode toggle on the controlling tty. |
| `ffi/libc.lua` | `chdir`, `errno`, `strerror` | Add `waitpid`, `WEXITSTATUS` (macro materialized in Lua), `read`, `write`, `close`, `kill`, `tcgetattr`/`tcsetattr` + `cfmakeraw` for raw-mode toggle on the controlling tty (required for single-key UIs to work — done-criteria #2), `poll` for stdin↔master multiplex in executor. |

| `broker.lua` | `M.chat(cfg, msgs)` blocking | Add `M.chat_stream(cfg, msgs, on_delta)`. `M.chat` becomes a thin wrapper that buffers deltas. |
| `executor.lua` | `popen` + sentinel exit-code recovery + `cd` interception + `CMD:` extract | Replace popen path with `pty.spawn`. The sentinel hack is deleted. `cd` interception unchanged (still routes through `libc.chdir`). `CMD:` extract unchanged. |
