Address duplicate registration at the source, not just via cleanup. Root
cause now grounded: agent_id is a random UUID (config.rs:90 generate_agent_id)
persisted only in the config file, so a portable/misconfigured execution
(the Pavon desktop launcher) regenerates a fresh id each launch, defeating
both the DB upsert (ON CONFLICT agent_id) and session-reuse dedupe. Add a
deterministic machine_uid (Windows MachineGuid-based, recomputable) keyed by
registration; reaping/supersede become defense-in-depth. Security: machine_uid
is identity not authorization and must be bound to the per-machine agent key
to prevent session/record hijack. Requested by Mike 2026-05-30.

Stop orphaned managed sessions accumulating in the Operator Console and let
admins remove stale sessions/units individually and in bulk. Root cause
confirmed in code: the Sessions list is the in-memory SessionManager;
register_agent reconnect-reuse keys on a stable agent_id (session/mod.rs:169)
and persistent sessions are never reaped on disconnect (session/mod.rs:519-542),
so an agent reconnecting with a fresh agent_id leaves a new retained ghost
session each time (observed: 15 sessions/0 live, ~10 orphans for one machine
after a GuruConnect-client reconnect storm). Adds TTL sweep + same-machine
supersede, admin-gated audited purge + bulk endpoints, and dashboard
multi-select removal. Requested by Mike 2026-05-30.

Persist a complete per-machine device inventory on connect_machines
(OS+locale+install, CPU/RAM, mfr/model/serial, external WAN IP captured
server-side via trusted-proxy client_ip + private LAN IP + MAC, logged-on
user, idle, time zone, uptime, local-admin-present), refreshed each
AgentStatus and surfaced in the dashboard machine detail — ScreenConnect
"Guest Info" parity. Data layer for SPEC-002 Phase 2; closes the GC side
of the agent-IP gap (coord todo 7459428e). Requested by Mike 2026-05-30.
