feat(FN-772): fix terminal startup and prompt delivery reliability

- Fix terminal service to ensure prompt is reliably delivered on startup and reconnect - Add regression tests for terminal reconnect and first-paint behavior - Remove dead code: unused global-settings tests, styles.css, Header/MissionManager tests - Update terminal README with reliable prompt delivery guarantee documentation - Add useTerminal hook tests and TerminalModal component tests

+   *
+   * The original bug occurred when PTY output containing the initial shell
+   * prompt was emitted during the resize-suppression window (150ms after the
+   * initial fitAddon.fit()). That output was silently discarded, so xterm
+   * rendered a connected cursor over an empty terminal — the prompt was
+   * permanently lost for that session.
+   *
+   * This test verifies the buffering layer ensures the prompt arrives at
+   * xterm even when subscribers register after the WebSocket has already
+   * received the scrollback and data messages.
