Garry Tan 2dc674f9d5 test: regression tests for parent-process watchdog
End-to-end tests in browse/test/watchdog.test.ts that prove the three
invariants v0.18.1.0 depends on. Each test spawns the real server.ts
(not a mock), so any future change that breaks the watchdog logic fails
here — the thing /ship's adversarial review flagged as missing.

1. BROWSE_PARENT_PID=0 disables the watchdog
   Spawns server with PID=0, reads stdout, confirms the
   "watchdog disabled (BROWSE_PARENT_PID=0)" log line appears and
   "Parent process ... exited" does NOT. ~2s.

2. BROWSE_HEADED=1 disables the watchdog (server-side guard)
   Spawns server with BROWSE_HEADED=1 and a bogus parent PID (999999).
   Proves BROWSE_HEADED takes precedence over a present PID — if the
   server-side defense-in-depth regresses, the watchdog would try to
   poll 999999 and fire on the "dead parent." ~2s.

3. Default headless mode: watchdog fires when parent dies
   The regression guard for the original orphan-prevention behavior.
   Spawns a real `sleep 60` parent and a server watching its PID, then
   kills the parent and waits up to 25s for the server to exit. The
   watchdog polls every 15s so first tick is 0-15s after death, plus
   shutdown() cleanup. ~18s.

Total runtime: ~21s for all 3 tests. They catch the class of bug this
branch exists to fix: "does the process live or die when it should?"
