`fluksio serve` printed a log stream and nothing else, so watching an engine
meant a second terminal running `status --watch`, and stopping or pairing it
meant a third. At a terminal it now opens a dashboard: the health and flow
overview `status` draws, the recent runs as a table, and the engine's own
output in a pane below — which is what the earlier decision against this
was protecting, and it is still all there.
The engine is a child process running `serve --plain`, not a thread, so it
outlives the dashboard: q leaves it running and says so, s and r stop and
restart it, c cancels the selected run and e pairs with a portal. An engine
already serving this directory is adopted rather than duplicated, and it can
be stopped from here only because the pidfile and the token together prove
it is this installation's.
`--plain` and no terminal both keep the old behaviour, which is what the
container and CI run.
