 Companion runtime helper:
-- `src/companion/runtimeClient.ts` provides a typed Node/WebSocket client for companion runtimes (macOS/iOS/Android workers) with wrappers for `node.register`, `node.capabilities.get`, `node.location.set/get`, `node.status.set`, `node.push_token.set`, `system.capabilities`, `system.nodes`, and canvas artifact RPCs (`canvas.put/get/list/delete/clear`), plus convenience helpers (`bootstrapNode`, optional `autoConnect`, `dispose()`) and event helpers (`subscribeEvents()`, `subscribeEvent()`, `subscribeAgentStream()`, `subscribeAgentTyping()`, `waitForEvent()` with timeout/predicate/abort support, `waitForAgentStream()`, `waitForAgentTyping()`, `clearEventSubscriptions()`).
