Christoph Leiter 64c819efeb fix(desktop): stop sandboxed preload from requiring a local module (#2111)
* fix(desktop): stop sandboxed preload from requiring a local module

The preload imported PASEO_BROWSER_PROFILE_PARTITION from the local module
./features/browser-profile.js. The preload runs in Electron's sandbox and is
tsc-compiled (not bundled), so that import emits require("./features/
browser-profile.js") at the top of preload.js. A sandboxed preload cannot
require a local module, so the require throws before
contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld runs. window.paseoDesktop is then undefined,
the app no longer detects itself as the desktop host, and it never starts the
built-in daemon (users had to run `paseo start` by hand).

The import was added in 0.1.108; 0.1.107 is clean, which matches the reports
that downgrading fixes it. See #2103.

Inline the one value the preload needs (the partition string) so it no longer
loads any local module, and keep browser-profile.ts as the source of truth for
the main process. Add preload-sandbox.test.ts, which parses preload.ts with the
TypeScript compiler API and asserts the only runtime module load is "electron"
(covering value imports, side-effect imports, re-exports, require, dynamic
import, and import-equals; type-only imports are ignored), plus a drift check
that the inlined literal matches the canonical constant.

* test(desktop): clearer preload drift-check failure message

Assert the inlined PASEO_BROWSER_PROFILE_PARTITION is present before comparing its value, so a missing/renamed constant reports "not found" instead of a misleading value-drift mismatch (Greptile feedback on #2111).
