feat(daemon): expose watching over the RPC surface and the CLI

The watch subscription was reachable only from the library. It is most
useful against a daemon -- that is the session that stays connected long
enough to receive the server's status pushes -- so it needs the wire.

- proto: user.watch / user.unwatch / user.watched, with a Watched response
- SessionApi gains watch_user / unwatch_user / watched_users, so a local and
  a remote session are still interchangeable above the seam
- CLI: `watch add`, `watch remove`, `watch list`, documented in SKILL.md
  including the caveat that a one-shot run's watch ends with the run
- docs/openrpc.json regenerated from the wire types

+**`watch add <user>`** / **`watch remove <user>`** — prints nothing; exit 0 is
+the confirmation. **`watch list`** — one object per watched user: `user`,
+`status`. A watch lasts only as long as the session holding it, so these are
+worth using against a running daemon (`--daemon`), where the connection stays
+up and keeps receiving the server's status pushes. A one-shot run's watch ends

 cheapest way to prove the credentials and connection work.
