Agent fixes:
- Fix Ctrl+C hang by running cleanup in background thread
- Add force-exit on double Ctrl+C
- Improve exception handling in output reader threads to prevent
bad file descriptor errors on shutdown
- Reduce cleanup timeouts for faster shutdown
Controller/UI fixes:
- Add URL validation for agent registration (check port, protocol)
- Show helpful message when agent is unreachable during registration
- Clarify API key field label (reserved for future use)
- Add client-side URL validation with user-friendly error messages
WiFi agent mode fixes:
- Add polling fallback for deep scan when push mode is disabled
- Polls /controller/agents/{id}/wifi/data every 2 seconds
- Detect running scans when switching to an agent
- Fix scan_mode detection (agent uses params.scan_type)
Agent fixes:
- Accept 'success' status for quick scans (not just 'started')
- WiFi quick scans return 'success' with results, not 'started'
Controller fixes:
- Pass through actual error messages from agent responses
- Previously showed generic "Agent returned error: 400"
- Now shows actual message like "Root privileges required for deep scan"
