ruohki b258b6d262 feat(01-02): implement terminal init/restore and panic hook
- init_terminal() enables raw mode and clears main screen via Viewport::Fullscreen
- No alternate screen buffer used (deliberate BBS immersive approach)
- restore_terminal() disables raw mode and shows cursor using let _ for all calls
- install_panic_hook() restores terminal, prints BBS-themed message, delegates to original hook
- Use ratatui::crossterm re-export (crossterm is transitive dep only)
- All panic hook operations use let _ or eprintln! — no unwrap() or ? inside hook

//! Terminal initialization, restoration, and panic hook for bbs-md.
//!
//! # Design
//!
//! This module uses the main screen buffer (no alternate screen) for the immersive BBS feel.
//! On exit, TUI output remains visible in the terminal scroll history — the user can scroll
//! up to review what they read, and the goodbye message persists after the process exits.
//!
//! # Broken Pipe Safety (LIFE-04)
//!
//! All write operations in the TUI must use `let _ =` or handle `ErrorKind::BrokenPipe`.
//! SSH connections can close mid-write; Rust propagates this as `ErrorKind::BrokenPipe`.
//! The actual enforcement happens in the event loop (Plan 03), but `restore_terminal()`
//! already follows this pattern with `let _ =` on every call.
//!
//! # Important
//!
//! Do NOT call `ratatui::restore()` — it enters alternate screen via `LeaveAlternateScreen`,
//! which we never entered. Use `restore_terminal()` from this module instead.
