feat: persistent Chromium daemon with CLI wrapper

Bun-powered HTTP server on localhost keeps headless Chromium alive
between commands. CLI auto-starts server on first call (~3s), subsequent
commands ~100-200ms. Bearer token auth, 30 min idle shutdown, auto-restart
on Chromium crash.

Architecture: compiled CLI binary → HTTP POST → Bun.serve → Playwright

/**
* gstack-browse server — persistent Chromium daemon
*
* Architecture:
* Bun.serve HTTP on localhost → routes commands to Playwright
* Console/network buffers: in-memory (all entries) + disk flush every 1s
* Chromium crash → server EXITS with clear error (CLI auto-restarts)
* Auto-shutdown after BROWSE_IDLE_TIMEOUT (default 30 min)
