ci: enable Hub-Client E2E Tests workflow

The workflow had never actually run on a runner — every push to main
since it was added queued for the 24-hour GitHub Actions maximum and
was cancelled because `runs-on: ubuntu-latest-8x` isn't a runner label
this repo can request. Switching to `ubuntu-latest` unblocked
everything else; from there the workflow itself needed several layers
of fixes to actually pass.

Workflow fixes (hub-client-e2e.yml, with parallel changes to
ts-test-suite.yml where applicable):

- Runner label: ubuntu-latest-8x → ubuntu-latest.
- Build order: build the WASM module before the TypeScript packages,
  since hub-client's vite build imports the WASM JS glue.
- WASM tooling: install wasm-bindgen-cli pinned to the version in
  Cargo.lock, and add the rust-src component (required by
  -Zbuild-std=std,panic_unwind in the wasm-quarto-hub-client crate's
  .cargo/config.toml).
- Rust nightly: invoke dtolnay/rust-toolchain@master with no
  `toolchain:` input so the action reads the pin from
  rust-toolchain.toml (bd-at72, nightly-2026-04-28 from main).
  Single source of truth — no duplicate `RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN` env var.
- dtolnay/rust-toolchain action: dated nightlies need @master with a
  toolchain input, not @nightly-YYYY-MM-DD as a ref.
- TypeScript build scoping: only build ts-packages + hub-client. The
  q2-demos workspaces fail their vite build (vite can't resolve an
  absolute import in the wasm-bindgen output) and trace-viewer is out
  of scope. Tracked as bd-1jnb.
- Pre-build the hub binary: globalSetup launches it with `cargo run
  --bin hub` and waits 120s for "Hub server listening" — on a cold
  runner the cargo compile exceeded that.
- Baseline-commit step: switch the broken `**` glob to `find ... -name
  '*-snapshots' -exec git add -f {} +` (bash globstar isn't enabled by
  default; visual specs sit directly under hub-client/e2e/, not one
  directory deeper) and grant `contents: write` so the default
  GITHUB_TOKEN can push the auto-generated baselines back to the
  branch.
- Add a `pull_request` trigger with the same path filter as `push`,
  so PRs that touch hub-client or the workflow file have to prove
  themselves green before merging.

Test-side bugs that surfaced once the workflow could actually run:

- TS2345 in client.test.ts: installMockRepo used
  `ReturnType<typeof createMockHandle>` without supplying T, so the
  parameter defaulted to unknown. Forwarding T through makes the
  helper generic and the test compiles again.
- Node-side IndexedDB shim: projectFactory.ts runs in the Playwright
  test process (Node, not browser) but createSyncClient instantiates
  an IndexedDBStorageAdapter unconditionally. Import
  fake-indexeddb/auto, matching how sync-test-harness already handles
  vitest.
- Vite proxy target: hub-client's vite.config.ts proxies /auth/* and
  the websocket to VITE_HUB_SERVER (default http://localhost:3000),
  but globalSetup starts the e2e hub on port 3030 — so vite returned
  HTTP 500 from /auth/me on every test, blocking the in-browser
  hub-client from rendering the preview iframe. Pass
  VITE_HUB_SERVER=http://localhost:3030 to the webServer env.
- Functional config picks up visual specs: testDir './e2e' with no
  testIgnore was finding setup-screens.visual.spec.ts and running it
  through the functional config, which has no missing-baseline retry.
  Skip *.visual.spec.ts so those run only via playwright.visual.config.ts.
- CI workers: drop from 4 to 2. The 4-workers value was sized for the
  original ubuntu-latest-8x; under ubuntu-latest (2 cores) random
  tests stalled in the WASM render pipeline and missed the 45s
  preview-iframe deadline non-deterministically. Reproduced locally
  with 4 workers (a different test failed each run); 2 workers
  cleared all flakes.
- Hub-client WASM gap (bd-izfv): the project-render path
  (RenderToHtmlRenderer) drops the user_grammars provider on the
  floor, so the smoke-all fixture
  highlighting/03-user-grammar/03-user-grammar-toml.qmd renders a
  bare <code> block instead of highlighted TOML. Add a
  SKIP_WASM_UNSUPPORTED map in smokeAllDiscovery.ts pointing at
  bd-izfv (which has a complete TDD plan on branch
  beads/bd-izfv-thread-user-grammars).

Also adds the missing Playwright visual regression baselines under
hub-client/e2e/ that the visual config expects on first run.
