Stripped 4,200+ emoji characters from print(), logger calls across

Migrates 38 HTTP polling loops to WebSocket push events across 6 phases: service status, dashboard stats, enrichment workers, tool progress, sync/discovery progress, and scan status.

Includes 162 tests verifying event delivery, data shape, and HTTP parity. Also fixes a copy-paste bug in Beatport sync error cleanup.
