Phase 1b: terminal tabs, up to 4 split panes, theme/font customization

Terminal.tsx is rebuilt around a reusable TerminalPane component (one
xterm + WebSocket connection each) so a tab can hold 1, 2, or 4 panes
(single / split-2 / 2x2 grid), each independently connectable to any SSH
host. Added a small terminal preferences bar (theme preset, font size,
font family) persisted to localStorage and applied per-pane.

Also fixes two build-time issues surfaced while wiring this up: an unused
parameter in Settings.tsx's fieldsWithJumpHost helper, and a stale
JSX.Element reference that doesn't resolve under this project's tsc -b
project-reference build (replaced with React.ReactElement).

This completes Phase 1b of the Termix migration (see TERMIX_MIGRATION.md).

 **Status:**
 - ✅ **Phase 1a — done.** `/terminal` is a real interactive SSH terminal: `backend/src/routes/terminal.ts` (WebSocket, connect/input/resize/disconnect over `ssh2`), `backend/src/db/secrets.ts` (shared secret loader), `src/pages/Terminal.tsx` (xterm.js + host picker, reuses ArchNest's existing SSH integrations — no duplicate host table). Verified end-to-end against a real test SSH server. No jump hosts, no tabs/split panes, no OPKSSH, no tmux monitor yet — see 1b/1c below.
-- 🟡 **Phase 1b — in progress.** Done so far:
+- ✅ **Phase 1b — done.**
   - **Jump-host chaining**: an SSH integration's config can carry `jumpHostIntegrationId` referencing another SSH integration. `backend/src/routes/terminal.ts` connects to the jump host first, opens a `forwardOut()` channel to the real target, and connects the target `Client` over that channel (single-hop; mirrors Termix's core mechanism without its multi-hop/credential-sharing complexity). Verified end-to-end with two real test SSH servers (one as jump, one as target).
   - **Host-key verification (TOFU)**: new `ssh_host_keys` table (`backend/src/db/index.ts`) stores a SHA-256 fingerprint per SSH integration on first successful connect; subsequent connects are rejected if the fingerprint changes, via `ssh2`'s `hostVerifier` connect option. No interactive accept/reject-changed-key UI yet — first-use accept-and-store, hard-reject on mismatch. Verified both the accept-on-first-use and reject-on-mismatch paths against a real test server.
   - **Settings UI for multiple SSH hosts**: `src/pages/Settings.tsx` previously could only show/edit one integration per type, which silently broke multi-host SSH. Added a dedicated `SshHostsSection` with its own per-host cards (Save/Test/Delete) and an "Add SSH Host" flow, including a `Jump Host` dropdown populated from the other configured SSH hosts.
-  - Not yet done: tab system + up-to-4 split panes and terminal theme/font customization in `src/pages/Terminal.tsx` — that page is still single-session only.
+  - **Tabs + up to 4 split panes**: `src/pages/Terminal.tsx` rewritten around a `TerminalPane` component (one xterm + WebSocket connection each, reusable). Each tab holds 1/2/4 panes (single / split-2 / 2x2 grid); each pane connects independently to whichever SSH host is clicked while it's focused.
+  - **Terminal theme/font customization**: a preferences bar (theme preset, font size, font family) persisted to `localStorage` (`archnest-terminal-prefs`), applied per-pane on connect.
+  - Verified via a clean production build (`tsc -b && vite build`) — no real browser available in this environment to click through tabs/panes, so this is build/type verification only, not an interactive UI test.
 - ⬜ Phase 1c — not started.
