Description

netstated should expose a WebSocket interface for clients. It should push state updates so that clients can update themselves as soon as new state becomes available. There should be a gv client variant that listens on the WebSocket interface.

Research direction

Start by locating the netstated implementation and the existing gv client entry point. Determine how netstated currently publishes state and how gv consumes it, then define the WebSocket interface and the state-update flow. Done means clients can receive new state through WebSocket and a gv variant listens on that interface.
