arcattackandClaude Opus 5 05fdd319d6 parked relay: a supervisor that keeps it alive + a REMOTE restart the operator can actually reach
Completes the travelling-operator deployment.  The relay stays parked on the
home machine (so no player ever edits join.bat) and the console dials in from
anywhere -- but until now two things needed hands on that machine: bringing the
relay back when it died, and restarting it (the only way to clear a wedge or
pick up a roster resize).  Both are covered now.

tools/btrelay_park.py -- the supervisor:
  * runs the relay with cwd=content\ , which is what pins WHICH
    operator_secret.txt is live (the trap documented last commit);
  * relaunches on ANY exit, with 2/5/15/30/60s backoff when a relay dies inside
    20s, so a permanent fault (port taken, missing egg) cannot become a spin;
  * rotates content\parked_relay.log to .1 first, so the dead generation's
    evidence survives the relaunch that replaces it;
  * Ctrl-C stops it for good.  NOT a Windows service on purpose: session 0
    would hide the window an operator wants to tail.
tools/park_relay.cmd -- double-click to park; a shortcut to it in shell:startup
  gives start-after-reboot with no admin rights.

`restart` on the control port (btconsole.py): sets restart_requested, the run
loop returns, relay_main exits RESTART_EXIT_CODE=42 and the supervisor relaunches
-- re-reading the egg.  REFUSED while a mission is running (launches_sent >= 2
and not stop_sent): bouncing then would drop every pod out of a live round.
Local stdin gets the same command for parity.

btoperator.py: Restart Session in REMOTE mode now sends `restart` and reconnects
6s later instead of just tearing down our own link -- the old behaviour looked
like "Restart does nothing" against a parked relay.  (QTimer had to be imported;
it was missing, which py_compile does not catch -- it would have been a runtime
NameError on the first click.)

VERIFIED by scratchpad/test_parked_supervisor.py, 12/12, and the full
test_remote_console_e2e.py re-run green afterwards (15/15):
  * kill the relay -> a NEW pid is serving again, and the old log is kept as .1;
  * remote `restart` -> ACKed, new pid, egg re-read, serving again;
  * the supervisor distinguishes the two -- "operator requested a restart" vs
    the crash/backoff path -- proven from its own log, not assumed;
  * the mid-mission guard is present and wired to launches_sent/stop_sent.

Two harness defects fixed while proving it, both mine: a check written with
`or True` that could never fail (replaced with two real assertions against the
supervisor's log), and a recv that treated the relay's correct
close-after-restart as a ConnectionResetError failure.
