test: add E2E security tests for origin validation

Adds comprehensive E2E tests to verify security boundaries:

1. Sandbox Security
   - Verifies sandbox proxy rejects messages from unexpected origins
   - Verifies host correctly validates sandbox source
   - Tests app-to-host communication through secure channel
   - Checks iframe sandbox attributes are properly configured

2. Host Resilience
   - Tests host continues working when servers fail to connect
   - Verifies failed connections are logged as warnings

3. CSP and Content Security
   - Verifies sandbox injects CSP meta tag into app HTML
   - Tests CSP logging

4. Origin Validation Details
   - Tests sandbox extracts host origin from referrer
   - Verifies messages use specific origin (not wildcard)

+/**
+ * Security E2E tests for MCP Apps
+ *
+ * These tests verify the security boundaries and origin validation in:
+ * 1. PostMessageTransport - source filtering
+ * 2. Sandbox proxy - origin validation for host and app messages
+ * 3. Iframe isolation - ensuring sandbox escapes are blocked
+ *
+ * Test architecture:
+ * - Tests run against the basic-host example
+ * - We verify security by checking console logs for rejection messages
+ * - We verify functionality by checking that valid communication works
