feat: GStack Browser .app bundle — launcher script + build system

- scripts/app/gstack-browser: dual-mode launcher (dev + .app bundle)
- scripts/build-app.sh: compiles binary, bundles Chromium + extension, creates DMG
- Rebrands Chromium plist during build for "GStack Browser" in menu bar
- 389MB .app, 189MB compressed DMG, launches in ~5s

# GStack Browser launcher — starts browse server + headed Chromium with extension
#
# Works in two modes:
# 1. Inside .app bundle: Contents/MacOS/gstack-browser → Resources are at ../Resources/
# 2. Dev mode (run directly): uses global gstack install at ~/.claude/skills/gstack/
#
# Usage:
# open "GStack Browser.app" # .app bundle mode
# scripts/app/gstack-browser # dev mode (uses global gstack install)
