christianandClaude Opus 5.5 a2a2e40b15 MIDI hold re-adds a peer stuck half-connected
After the network test SuperRack sat in NA Ingest's session as
"initializing"; the hold saw it listed and did nothing ("already").
connect_peer now drops a listed-but-not-live peer and adds it back,
building the second write from the first so a slow re-read cannot leave
it dropped. Tested live today: DVS x4, APPS and INGEST holds, NET clear,
CAPTIONS and BRIDGE restart keys.

"""Minimal CoreMIDI access through ctypes (no PyObjC, stdlib only).
Two things the status panel needs that Companion cannot see:
* sessions() - the live Network MIDI (RTP-MIDI) sessions on this Mac and the
peers currently joined to each, read from the network driver's
"apple.midirtp.session" entity property.
* Listener - timestamps the last message that arrived on a named MIDI
source, so a tile can say "last MIDI 3s ago".
* connect_peer() - re-add a peer to a named session, the way Audio MIDI Setup's
"Connect" does (macOS's MIDINetworkSession API only reaches the
default session, not named ones like "NA Tracks").
