Fix sign-in popups in the desktop browser (#2137)

* fix(desktop): keep sign-in popups connected

Turning every window-open request into a workspace tab severed the opener relationship required by popup authentication flows. Keep script-created and POST-backed opens as secured child windows while ordinary links continue to use workspace tabs.

* fix(desktop): keep Shift-click links in workspace tabs

Electron reports both popup windows and Shift-clicked links as new-window. Use popup features or a named target to preserve script popups without bypassing Paseo tab state for ordinary links.

* fix(desktop): tighten popup profile handling

* fix(desktop): preserve popup feature intent

* fix(desktop): match browser popup heuristics

> **Window-state v1 limitation:** only the _first_ window of a session restores and persists saved geometry (size/position/maximized). Windows opened via ⌘⇧N / second-instance / "Open in new window" open at the default size, OS-cascaded, and do not persist — this avoids every window stacking on the same restored bounds and fighting over the single window-state store. Lifting this needs per-window state keys.

> **In-app browser profile.** Every browser guest uses one stable persistent Electron session, so cookies, authentication, cache, and site storage are shared across tabs, workspaces, and desktop windows and survive tab or app closure. Browser identity is independent of that storage partition: after `did-attach`, the renderer explicitly registers its browser id, workspace id, and guest `WebContents` id, and main accepts the registration only when that guest belongs to the calling renderer and the shared profile. Settings > General > Clear browser data is the sole profile-deletion path; it clears the shared session and reloads live guests without deleting saved tabs or URLs.

> **In-app browser window opens.** Ordinary link opens, including Shift-clicked links, become Paseo workspace tabs. Script-created opens with popup features or a named window target and POST-backed opens remain secured Electron child windows in the shared browser profile, preserving `window.opener`, `postMessage`, named-window reuse, request bodies, and `window.close()` for OAuth, payment, and similar popup protocols. Unsupported URL schemes are denied before either path.
> **In-app browser targets are not yet per-window.** Browser webviews are still tracked by one process-global registry that keeps a single current `WebContents` per browser id. Human focus records the workspace-active browser for UI state and `list_tabs` reporting, while agent automation targets explicit browser ids returned by `browser_new_tab` or `browser_list_tabs`. Explicit attached-guest registration prevents concurrent windows from swapping different browser ids, but rendering the same saved browser tab in multiple windows can still make menu actions target the most recently registered guest. Making the registry window-scoped remains a follow-up.
