Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 c4d91507dd chore(browse): explicit windowsHide on every Bun.spawn site + census tripwire (#2575 residual)
Bun.spawn sites were structurally outside the windowsHide census (it swept
child_process bindings only). The runtime was already safe — native Bun hides
consoles by default and bun-polyfill.cjs defaults windowsHide !== false since
#2523/#2539 — but implicit defaults are exactly what regress silently. Every
Bun.spawn/spawnSync in browse/src now carries the explicit flag (harmless on
unix-only sites like Xvfb/xattr/open), and a second SWEEP in
windows-spawn-hide.test.ts fails CI on any new flagless Bun.spawn site.

/**
* XProtect launch-kill self-heal (P0 #2554).
*
* macOS XProtect definition updates can start killing the exact Chromium
* revision the committed bun.lock pins (observed: revision 1208 under
* playwright 1.58.2 — xprotectd SIGKILLs chrome-headless-shell at spawn, so
* the failure surfaces as a Playwright launch timeout or a "Browser closed"
* error carrying `signal=SIGKILL`, never anything naming XProtect).
*
* The heal, in order, at most ONCE per process (F4):
* 1. Classify the launch failure against the XProtect kill signature
* (positive AND negative fixtures under test, F9).
* 2. Clear com.apple.quarantine on the Playwright cache bundles ONLY —
* a GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH bundle belongs to the wrapper/embedder and is
* never touched (same scope contract as probePoisonedChromiumBundle).
* 3. Force-reinstall Chromium FROM THE GSTACK INSTALL ROOT (ENG-OV3: the
* root whose node_modules pins the same playwright-core our compiled
* binary embeds — a cwd-resolved `bunx playwright install` would fetch
* the LATEST playwright's revision, which the embedded playwright-core
* won't find, and the one-shot guard would then block the retry).
* The install is BOUNDED (~120s, process-GROUP kill on timeout; E1).
* 4. Verify the revision dir the embedded playwright-core EXPECTS exists
* post-heal (registry-derived expectation, not merely install exit 0).
*
* Every action emits one structured stderr line (F11). When the heal cannot
* complete (offline, timeout, no install root, one-shot spent), the caller
* surfaces the ORIGINAL launch error plus manual
* `bunx playwright install chromium` guidance — the CLI never hangs on it.
