From the second independent review of this PR:
- Use now sends a plain reconnect, which picks the first-ranked address that
answers, but it was offered on every tested address listed above the one in
use. The devices list now carries each address's rank on the current network
(frame_devices.order_addresses), and only the address a reconnect would pick
gets the button.
- Saving one address, cancelling, then editing another: the first save's answer
closed the second editor and lost what was typed. Each edit now has its own
session, and a late answer leaves a newer one alone.
- Switching headsets with the dialog open drew the address offer from the
previous headset's status before it was cleared, so Add could save its IP to
the new headset. The dialog now renders after the old status is cleared.

An interrupted review pass pointed at four problems in the pill's dialog, each
confirmed against the Frame:
- The offer to add the Frame's LAN address appended it after the Tailscale name,
which then kept winning on that network, so nothing changed. The offer now adds
it first in the list (address-add takes first: true); away from home the
Tailscale name still leads. A tested address that ranks above the one in use
gets a Use now button that reconnects through it.
- A half-typed edit was thrown away when the connection state changed after
focus left the input, and when the server refused the save. The edit row now
stays until it is saved or cancelled.
- Pressing Enter twice sent the update twice.
- The offer's button could act on the previously selected headset.
Keyboard focus also stays on the same button of the same address when the rows
are rebuilt.

The pill says plainly whether the headset is connected and how
("Connected · Tailscale", or the network's name), and never shows a
truncated address. Its dialog now leads with that, then lists the headset's
addresses with what each answered; they can be added, edited, reordered and
removed right there, and a new one is tested straight away. When the Frame
reports a LAN IP on this computer's network that isn't saved, it offers to
add it, so at home the app connects directly rather than over Tailscale.
The connection steps and this computer's network fold away while it's
connected and open when it isn't. Retry now and Set Up Connection only show
when they'd help; the buttons stay in reach when the dialog scrolls.
On the Devices tab the SSH alias, user, port and Forget identity move under
Advanced, and the address kind is worked out from the address. Report a
problem is a speech bubble rather than a warning sign.

Two servers each connected, reconnected and edited the headsets on their own,
and several review findings were ways one could move the other's install to a
different headset. A lock file in the data folder now refuses a second server
with a plain message; FRAME_CONTROL_DATA_DIR still gives a separate one.

- Attempts carry a generation: one overtaken by a switch, a removal or a login
change routes nothing back to the old headset and can't report connected.
- Removing the active headset or changing its user/port reroutes at once,
before anything that can fail.
- One known_hosts file per headset (~/.ssh/frame-control-hosts/<id>):
forgetting one headset's key can't drop another's, whoever else writes.
- learn() checks, under the config lock, that the block is still what the
attempt started from before writing to it.
- A switch stops live video and drops captures from the previous headset.
- A probe shares its time between the addresses a name resolves to.

Frame Control can now manage more than one Steam Frame, and reach each at any
of several addresses (LAN IPs per network, its .local name, Tailscale). A
connector in the server tries them all at once, picks the best one that
answers, follows ssh -v through each stage (network, finding, SSH, identity,
login) and streams that to the page. The header shows it live; a new Devices
tab (key 5) manages headsets, addresses and network names.
- ui/frame_devices.py: registry in devices.json, imported from the managed
~/.ssh/config blocks; per-headset host key pinning; config block updates.
- ui/frame_network.py: gateway IP+MAC fingerprint, Wi-Fi name, Tailscale.
- ui/frame_link.py: the connector, Test now, Tailscale/mDNS discovery, API.
- server.py: ensure_master delegates to the connector; /api/connection,
/api/connection/events (SSE), /api/devices.
- Electron: headset switcher and Devices item in the Frame menu.
- frame_connect.py --alias; FRAME_CONTROL_DATA_DIR / FRAME_CONTROL_SSH_DIR
keep tests off real data.
