fix(browse): poisoned-bundle self-heal removes the revision dir, probes handoff too, and throws typed

Same marker flaw as the migration: rmSync of the .app alone left
INSTALLATION_COMPLETE behind, so the error message's own remediation
no-opped and the user was hard-stuck. The probe is now an exported,
unit-tested helper (probePoisonedChromiumBundle) that removes the whole
chromium-<rev> dir, never touches GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH custom bundles,
throws PoisonedBundleError (instanceof, not string-match), and runs on
BOTH headed entry points — launchHeaded and handoff. 7 tests.

*
* Removal scope: when the .app sits in the standard Playwright cache layout
* (chromium-<rev>/chrome-mac/<name>.app), the WHOLE chromium-<rev> revision
* dir is removed Playwright's INSTALLATION_COMPLETE marker lives there,
* and `playwright install chromium` treats its presence as "is already

* command into a no-op that leaves the user with no browser at all. Outside
* that layout, the .app plus any sibling INSTALLATION_COMPLETE /
* DEPENDENCIES_VALIDATED markers are removed.
*
* Caller contract: pass ONLY Playwright-cache executables
* (chromium.executablePath()). A bundle supplied via GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH
* belongs to the wrapper/embedder its plist legitimately says "GStack
* Browser" and must never be deleted. Both call sites (launchHeaded and
* handoff) honor this, and as a second belt the probe refuses to act on the
* GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH executable itself.
