Catch broken desktop packages before release (#2114)

* test(desktop): exercise packaged app startup

The previous smoke exited before IPC, window creation, and preload execution, so a broken packaged preload could still pass. Launch the normal app and observe its renderer bridge and managed daemon through CDP instead.

* test(desktop): preserve Linux sandbox in smoke

Configure the unpacked artifact's chrome-sandbox helper with the permissions Electron requires, while keeping sandboxing enabled so preload failures remain observable. Bound startup probes and include process logs in daemon timeout failures.

* ci(desktop): keep packaged smoke on releases

Remove the temporary pull-request artifact build after it validated the Linux launch path. Keep the real packaged smoke in the native desktop release matrix.

* ci(desktop): gate packaged smoke by changes

Run the Linux real-artifact smoke in pull-request CI when packages/desktop changes, while leaving the regular desktop unit-test matrix unconditional.

### Packaged desktop smoke
The packaged desktop smoke is an external observer of the production launch path. It must not add a smoke-only branch to Electron main or start the daemon itself.
The harness launches the unpacked packaged app with isolated user data and daemon state, connects to the real renderer over Chromium's debugging protocol, and requires all of these outcomes:
- the `paseo://app/` renderer mounts into `#root`;
- the sandboxed preload exposes the desktop bridge;
- the renderer starts a fresh desktop-managed daemon through the normal startup bootstrap;
- the bundled CLI can query that daemon and run a terminal command.
Pull-request CI runs the Linux x64 smoke under Xvfb when the cumulative PR diff changes `packages/desktop/**`. The desktop release matrix runs the harness against each host-native packaged app before publishing. All smoke jobs upload renderer, desktop, and daemon diagnostics on failure.
To exercise the smoke locally on Linux:
```bash
PASEO_DESKTOP_SMOKE=1 \
PASEO_DESKTOP_SMOKE_ARTIFACT_DIR=/tmp/paseo-desktop-smoke \
npm run build:desktop -- --publish never --linux --x64 --dir
```
