Brooklyn Nicholson a8d87ac1d9 fix(desktop): keep the preload bridge alive under the sandbox
Deciding whether the OS can back glass needs os.release(), but every
Hermes window runs its preload with sandbox: true, where require is a
polyfill limited to electron, events, timers and url. The node:os import
threw before contextBridge ran, so window.hermesDesktop was never defined
and the app booted straight into "Desktop IPC bridge is unavailable".

Main already computes both verdicts, so preload asks for them over a
synchronous channel instead. No reply degrades to no glass, which is an
ordinary opaque window rather than a page thinned over nothing.

/**
* E2E smoke tests for the dev-mode desktop app.
*
* These tests launch the Electron app from the built dist/ (not the
* packaged binary) with a real `hermes serve` backend pointed at a mock
* inference server. The full chain is exercised:
*
* electron → hermes serve (python) → mock provider → renderer
*
* Prerequisite: `npm run build` must have been run so dist/ exists.
* Run from the nix devshell:
* npm exec playwright test e2e/boot.spec.ts --reporter=list
