Removes suite banners, section dividers, and test-id markers that restate
the test names. Keeps one-line notes for the deleted-binary fixture order,
the never-arriving event consumer, the absent-vs-undefined key distinction,
the unexpected-method-echo rationale, and the real-browser teardown and
Local State flush quirks.

Mechanical port of the hand-rolled check() harness. Import-after-env

<title>fix(profile): resolve replaced binaries and surface real launch failures</title>

Two failures made a profile launch report the wrong cause.

Linux appends " (deleted)" to /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/exe once the running binary is
unlinked, which is what a google-chrome package upgrade does while the
browser stays open. detectRunningBrowser passed that literal string on as
the executable path, so every launch tried to spawn
"/opt/google/chrome/chrome (deleted)" and hit ENOENT. Executable paths are
now validated against disk, with the marker stripped and argv[0] used as a
fallback; a binary genuinely named "… (deleted)" still wins.

spawn() reports a missing or non-executable binary asynchronously via an
'error' event rather than throwing, and that event was discarded — so
openProfileWindow returned success, no window opened, and the caller
blamed the browser 15s later with a sentinel timeout. The launch now
awaits 'spawn'/'error', returns the real cause, and removes its handshake
page on the failure path.

* feat: pin the agent to a chosen browser profile (#15)

Harness tabs were created with a bare Target.createTarget, which places
them in Chrome's defaultBrowserContextId — and that value follows window
focus. Which profile the agent acted as therefore depended on which
browser window the user last clicked, so the same task could run as a
work account on one run and a personal account on the next.

/browser-profile lists the connected browser's profiles as "Name (email)"
and pins one to ~/.pi/agent/browser-harness.json, so the choice outlives
the session. The same picker appears on first browser_setup when nothing
is pinned; with no interactive UI, or on cancel, setup continues with a
note and the previous behavior.

Chrome offers no direct route to another profile: Target.createTarget
rejects a foreign browserContextId, and openerId does not inherit the
opener's context. The window is opened through the browser's own command
line (--profile-directory, handed to the running browser by Chromium's
ProcessSingleton) and identified by a unique file:// sentinel page, since
a bare about:blank#token argument is discarded. Further tabs come from
window.open evaluated with userGesture: true — the only CDP-reachable way
to place a tab in a non-default browser context — correlated by a unique
token so concurrent isolated tabs stay distinct. A failed handshake is
reported, never silently redirected to another profile.

All four tab-creation sites now funnel through cdp/target-factory, so
open_urls and the isolated tabs behind web_search / read_page cannot run
with a different profile's cookies than the visible tabs.

Also fixed along the way: snap Chromium is discovered, Windows uses
%LOCALAPPDATA%, browsers launched with an explicit --user-data-dir are
found, the running browser is chosen by ranking candidates against the
connected user-data-dir rather than taking the first process found, and
an installed-but-closed browser no longer reads as running.

CI runs the profile suites and a real-browser end-to-end test on ubuntu,
macOS, and Windows — profile discovery is the one part of the harness
whose behavior genuinely differs per OS.

* fix: single-flight harness window creation

Isolated tabs run concurrently (browser_read_page is registered
unserialized), so several could each find "no harness window" and create
one — two blank windows before this feature, two LAUNCHED profile windows
after it. ensureHarnessWindow now shares one in-flight creation per
client.

Sharing introduces a second hazard: freshlyCreated is a claim on the seed
tab, and if every waiter received it, they would all drive the same tab.
Only the caller that started the creation keeps the claim; the rest open
their own tab beside it.

Covered by test/manual/profile-concurrency-test.ts (five concurrent
isolated tabs, pinned and unpinned: distinct targets, one window, correct
profile), wired into CI on Linux only — the coordination is pure JS and
identical across platforms.

* fix: tilde expansion differs by purpose on Windows

CI on windows-latest caught this: join("~", "x") yields "~\x" there, and
expandTilde only handled "~/".

The two uses are not the same, so they no longer share a helper. The
agent dir stays byte-compatible with pi's own expandTildePath ("~/" only,
every platform) — being more lenient would put the pin file somewhere pi
never looks. $CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR is ours to interpret, so it accepts
"~\" as well, which is what a Windows user would type.
