chore(agents): add a machine-wide Playwright browser resource budget

Playwright disables normal background throttling, so a hidden 5chan page keeps
doing P2P and rendering work after a check finishes. Agents verifying in
parallel across worktrees stacked whole browser engines on one machine.

Add scripts/pw-session.sh, a wrapper that permits one active Playwright browser
at a time and records who holds it:

- The lock is machine-wide, not per-repository, because the contended resource
  is RAM and CPU. Every worktree and checkout shares one slot.
- Acquisition is an atomic mkdir. Stale locks clear themselves: `open` reclaims
  any slot whose recorded browser is no longer `status: open` in
  `playwright-cli list --all`, so an interrupted workflow cannot strand the
  budget. When that list cannot be read the lock is left alone, so a broken CLI
  never silently disables the budget.
- `open` exits 75 when the slot is busy; `--wait[=SECONDS]` blocks instead.
- `close` always stops the browser, even when the lock was already lost, and
  never releases a slot held by a different session.
- `status` reports the holder and whether its browser is still alive.

Agent policy now runs browser engines and profiler batches sequentially, uses
Chrome/Blink during iteration and the full engine matrix only for final
verification, and never uses `close-all` or `kill-all` while other agents may
own sessions.

Covered by scripts/pw-session.test.js.

# Browser Automation with playwright-cli
## Resource Budget (MUST)
One Playwright browser session may be active at a time, machine-wide. The budget is shared by every worktree and by any other checkout that ships this wrapper, because the contended resource is machine RAM and CPU rather than the repository. Playwright disables normal background throttling, so hidden 5chan pages keep P2P and rendering work active after a check.
- During iteration, use Chrome/Blink only. Run the full cross-browser matrix once the change is ready for final verification.
- Open every fresh session through `./scripts/pw-session.sh open <session> ...`; it acquires the shared browser slot.
- Reuse the same engine session for desktop and mobile by resizing it.
- Close it with `./scripts/pw-session.sh close <session>` in a finally-style cleanup before opening another engine. `close` stops the browser even when the lock was already lost, so it is always the right cleanup call.
- Run browser engines and profiler batches sequentially. Never spawn browser-driving agents in parallel.
- Exit code 75 means the slot is busy. Finish non-browser work and retry, or block on `./scripts/pw-session.sh open --wait[=SECONDS] <session> ...` (default 300s). Do not bypass the lock.
- Never use `playwright-cli close-all` or `kill-all` while concurrent agents may own sessions.
- A lock left behind by an interrupted workflow clears itself: the next `open` reclaims any slot whose browser is no longer running. Inspect the holder with `./scripts/pw-session.sh status`, which reports whether that browser is still alive. `release <session>` is a last resort for the rare case where `status` cannot verify the browser state.

## Caveats
- Chromium-only. Skip on Firefox/WebKit sessions; keep those checks unthrottled.
- Low-spec emulation is a measurement pass, not a machine-resource control. Hold the machine-wide browser slot for the whole pass and close it immediately afterward.
- The `low` latency is intentionally aggressive; if requests time out, fall back to `mid`.
- For render/rerender hotspots after a slow result, use the `profile-browsing` skill (it drives `playwright-cli` + react-scan) on the already-throttled session.

Use separate named sessions per engine so results stay isolated. If an engine is intentionally skipped, record why.
Use separate named sessions per engine so results stay isolated, but run those sessions sequentially. Only one Playwright browser session may be active at a time, machine-wide, because the contended resource is machine RAM and CPU rather than the repository. Open and close sessions through `./scripts/pw-session.sh`; it holds that shared lock so concurrent agents defer and retry browser work instead of saturating the machine.
During iteration, use Chrome/Blink only. Run the full Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit sequence once the change is ready for final verification. Reuse each engine session for desktop and mobile by resizing it, close it in a finally-style cleanup, and only then open the next engine. Do not run profiler batches in parallel, and do not use `close-all` or `kill-all` while other agents may be active.

# pw-session.sh — shared resource lock for playwright-cli browser sessions.
#
# Playwright disables normal background throttling, so a hidden 5chan page keeps
# doing P2P and rendering work after a check finishes. Agents verifying in
# parallel therefore stack whole browser engines on one machine. This wrapper
# permits one active Playwright browser at a time and records who holds it.
#
# The lock is machine-wide, not per-repository: the contended resource is RAM and
# CPU, so every checkout that ships this script shares a single slot. Set
# PLAYWRIGHT_RESOURCE_LOCK_DIR to isolate a lock (tests, or a deliberate second
# slot on a machine with headroom).
#
# Liveness comes from `playwright-cli list --all`, which reports `status: open`
# for a running browser. A lock whose recorded session is no longer open is
# stale, and is reclaimed automatically rather than blocking every later
# workflow. When playwright-cli cannot be queried the lock is left alone, so a
# broken CLI never silently disables the budget.
#
# PW_SESSION_POLL_SECONDS overrides how often `--wait` re-checks the slot.

Usage:
./scripts/pw-session.sh open [--wait[=SECONDS]] <session> [playwright-cli open arguments...]
./scripts/pw-session.sh close <session>
./scripts/pw-session.sh status
./scripts/pw-session.sh release <session>
One browser slot is shared by every worktree and repository on this machine.
open Acquire the slot, then start the browser. Exits 75 when the slot is
held by a live session; --wait polls until it frees (default 300s).
A slot whose browser is gone is reclaimed automatically.
close Stop the named browser, then release the slot. Always attempts the
browser close, even when the lock was already lost, and never
releases a slot held by a different session.
status Report the holder and whether its browser is still running.
release Drop a lock without closing a browser. Normal cleanup uses `close`.
