Research direction

Start by reading the linked W3C Web Thing Protocol specification and locating the current websocket implementation in this FastAPI server. Define the migration plan and scope before changing code; done means the server implements the newer protocol and its behavior is validated.

Description

There's a much newer websocket protocol for WoT than the one we're currently using.

I would like to implement this:

This issue probably needs more detail and some sort of plan!
