fix: kill leaked Chrome processes on profile seed failure
When a profile is pinned and ProcessSingleton fails to delegate, the spawned Chrome process starts a full second browser instance. The sentinel never appeared, but the spawned process was never killed (detached + unref'd + reference discarded), accumulating zombie browsers that consume RAM. Three changes: - Store child process ref and expose kill() on ProfileWindowHandle. Call kill() when the sentinel doesn't appear within the timeout. - Only clear profileContextId when the browser UUID changes (Chrome mints a fresh UUID on every launch), avoiding unnecessary re-spawns. - Don't clear profileContextId in setProfilePin when the pin hasn't changed, preventing gratuitous re-spawns on session_start.
