Add repeatable desktop and mobile browser QA

[Steel-tech]

Add saved browser QA scenarios that run each desktop/mobile viewport in a fresh agent-browser session, capture assertion outcomes and screenshots, and record console/page errors and failed requests alongside the exact Git HEAD and dirty state. The standalone CLI provides config checks, bounded execution and JSON evidence for local Console/PR consumers. Browser becomes 0.8.0; the five existing pane actions are unchanged.

Configurations accept only bounded declarative steps. The runner rejects symlink/FIFO configs and repository-local/reused output, ignores ambient Git routing and agent-browser profile/provider settings, closes only its own sessions, and marks incomplete telemetry, Git drift, or failed cleanup as failed evidence. Screenshots/messages remain private and need review before sharing; the Git observation does not prove the served app was built from that commit.

Validation:

• Node 24.18.0 full npm run validate: 319 passed, 2 intentional skips (321 tests).
• npm run test:qa: 14/14 on Node 20.20.2 and 24.18.0 using agent-browser 0.33.2 and actual Chromium against localhost.
• Integration verifies desktop/mobile PNG dimensions, fill/click/assertions, intentional console/page/HTTP503 failures, final screenshots on failure, and cleanup.
• Suite website and local Console dogfood also passed their desktop/mobile scenarios during authoring; those reports correctly identify dirty source state.

No new npm dependencies or CI/auth configuration changes. See docs/qa.md for the schema, privacy limits, and repeatable commands.

In `@tests/qa.integration.test.mjs`:
- Line 55: Update the scenario around runQa to publish a synchronization marker
only after both the /failure fetch and queued page-error handling complete,
rather than waiting on the initially visible `#result` element. Make the scenario
wait for that marker before asserting the h1 text, ensuring telemetry is
populated before it is collected.

🤖 Lab Code Review (draft opinion)

• bin/qa.mjs:124: The baseUrl validation rejects URLs with query or fragment, but the navigate step later uses new URL(step.path, base).origin which could be bypassed if step.path contains ? or #; however, the navigate validation already ensures step.path starts with / and doesn't contain \\, so this is safe. No issue found.
• bin/qa.mjs:203: The engineEnvironment function copies AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH from the user's environment, which could allow an attacker to point to a malicious binary; however, this is intended behavior to select local Chromium, and the binary is executed with explicit args, so no direct risk. No issue found.
• bin/qa.mjs:265: The screenshot function uses fs.lstatSync after the screenshot command, but if the engine creates a symlink, this could lead to TOCTOU or unintended file access; however, the engine is trusted and the output directory is private (0o700), so risk is low. Suggest adding a check that the target is not a symlink: if (!stat.isFile() || stat.isSymbolicLink()) throw new Error("screenshot missing or exceeds 10 MiB");.
• bin/qa.mjs:300: The boundResult function modifies the result object in-place when exceeding MAX_RESULT, but this could cause inconsistent state if the result is used elsewhere; however, it's called right before saving and returning, so no issue. No issue found.
• bin/qa.mjs:342: In main, the --json flag is handled by setting options.json = true, but if --json appears multiple times, the duplicate option check catches it; however, the loop increments i when processing --json, so argv[i + 1] is skipped correctly. No issue found.
