* add remote browser support via Browser Use cloud + multi-daemon
HARNESLESS_NAME suffixes socket/pid/log — daemons are independent, no
supervisor. start_remote_daemon() creates a Browser Use cloud browser and
launches a daemon attached to it; kill_daemon() stops both. Local Chrome
path is unchanged.

* rename env vars to BU_ prefix (shorter, less noisy in tool calls)
HARNESLESS_NAME → BU_NAME
HARNESLESS_CDP_WS → BU_CDP_WS
HARNESLESS_REMOTE_BROWSER_ID → BU_BROWSER_ID
Socket/pid/log files keep the harnesless- prefix on disk so they're
recognizable in /tmp. BROWSER_USE_API_KEY unchanged (external convention).

* rename project from harnesless to bu
Socket/pid/log paths now /tmp/bu-<name>.{sock,pid,log}. pyproject package
name updated, uv.lock regenerated. Slash command now /bu.
Note: the repo directory itself is still named harnesless on disk. Rename
manually (mv harnesless bu) so the absolute paths in docs line up.

Three-process architecture: daemon.py holds one persistent CDP WebSocket
to the user's running Chrome (via chrome://inspect), short-lived run.py
processes talk to it over a Unix socket, helpers.py is the transparent
layer the LLM reads and edits at will.
Philosophy: no CLI, no fixed API surface. The LLM writes Python blocks
against ~13 tiny helpers (cdp, click, type_text, screenshot, get_dom,
etc.) and edits helpers.py on the fly when a pattern repeats. Coordinate
clicks default because they pass through iframes/shadow DOM/cross-origin
at the compositor level.
Uses cdp-use internally for send_raw only (ignores its 36k lines of
typed wrappers — raw CDP strings tokenize better than typed calls).
