bench(desktop): measure the full picture — prod build, cold-start, first-token (#67697)

Stop drip-feeding scenarios: extend the harness to cover the latencies that
actually dominate perceived speed, and measure them on a REAL production build.

- --prod: build a production renderer with the probe included (VITE_PERF_PROBE=1,
  off in normal builds) and launch it from dist/. Measures minified React, so
  numbers are representative shipped figures instead of ~3x-inflated dev ones.
- cold-start scenario (tier "cold"): launch → CDP → driver → first paint, via a
  fresh isolated spawn per run. Captures spawn_to_cdp_ms, spawn_to_driver_ms, fcp_ms.
- first-token scenario (backend tier): Enter → first assistant token painted —
  the TTFT latency an agent app is uniquely judged on.
- run.mjs gained --prod (build once), cold-start fresh-spawn loop, and gates
  ci+cold tiers against the baseline.

Baseline re-captured on a PRODUCTION build (median of 5), darwin-arm64 — all
green. Representative numbers:
  cold-start  spawn→interactive ~1.6s, FCP ~0.5s
  stream      frame p95 22ms, 1 longtask
  keystroke   p50 2ms, p95 8.7ms
  transcript  mount 145ms, 82ms longtask (400-msg open)

The prod build also settled the open question from the dev numbers: the
transcript-mount "lead" (221ms longtask in dev) is only ~72-82ms in prod — not
actionable. Measurement did its job.

## Dev vs prod
By default the harness measures the **dev** renderer (fast to spin up, good for
relative regression checks). Pass `--prod` (with `--spawn`) to build a
production renderer *with the probe included* (`VITE_PERF_PROBE=1`) and measure
minified React — the representative shipped numbers. The committed baseline is
captured with `--prod`.
## Why isolation matters
The measurement this harness exists to run was historically blocked: a running
