Garry Tan 51f3a69f09 feat(security): sidecar IPC client with lifecycle + circuit breaker (#1370)
Adds browse/src/security-sidecar-client.ts to manage the Node L4
classifier subprocess from the compiled browse server:

- Lazy spawn on first scan; reuses the same process across requests
- Id-correlated request/response via NDJSON over stdio
- 5s default per-scan timeout; 64KB payload cap (short-circuits before
  spawn so oversized requests don't waste a process)
- 3-in-10-minutes respawn cap → trips circuit breaker; subsequent
  scans throw immediately so the /pty-inject-scan endpoint can surface
  l4 { available: false } to the extension and degrade to WARN+confirm
- process.on('exit') sends SIGTERM to the child for clean teardown
- isSidecarAvailable() lets the endpoint probe before scan calls so
  the response shape reflects degraded mode honestly

Unit tests cover the payload cap, the availability probe, and the
breaker-doesn't-crash invariant under repeated rejected calls.

C18 of the security-stack wave. C19 adds POST /pty-inject-scan; C20
routes the extension through it.

/**
* Unit tests for browse/src/security-sidecar-client.ts.
*
* Tests the IPC client's behavior against a fake sidecar (a tiny Node
* script we spawn) — verifies request/response id correlation, timeout,
* payload cap, malformed-response handling, and circuit-breaker tripping.
*
* Does NOT exercise the real classifier — that lives behind the model
* download and is covered by the existing security-classifier tests + the
* E2E browser security suite.
