[side-quest/integration-test-utilities-and-cleanup] Integration test utilities and copy-pasta cleanup

[couimet]

Summary

Adds reusable assertion helpers (withClipboardSentinel, withClipboardChanged, withClipboardRestored, assertClipboardEqualsGeneratedLink, assertTerminalBufferEqualsGeneratedLink, assertTerminalBufferContainsGeneratedLink, assertClipboardPreservedAndTerminalLink, assertLogContains) and converts all call sites across test suite files to use them.

Changes

• New assertion helpers in clipboardHelpers.ts, capturingPtyHelpers.ts, logBasedUiAssertions.ts, and logHelpers.ts eliminate repeated clipboard/terminal/log assertion boilerplate
• Converted integration test suites to use the new helpers, reducing copy-pasta and making test intent more readable
• Fixed broken tests and smart padding issues uncovered during the conversion campaign
• Updated CLAUDE.md with shell-quoting gotcha and :with-extensions --grep documentation
• Removed expectContextKeys calls from test suites — those belong to the ContextKeyService extraction (PR Unify jest.config.js files to explicitly call-out some configs #3) and would fail without that infrastructure

Test Plan

• All 1982 unit tests pass
• Integration tests pass: pnpm test:release:automated
• Integration tests pass with extensions: pnpm test:release:with-extensions
