fix(webview): recover a proxied dashboard that reloads on its landing page

The runtime shim masks `/webview/<cap>/` off a proxied page's URL so its router
boots on the path it expects, and the landing page masks to exactly `/`. A
`location.reload()` there (a Vite dev server on a config change or a failed HMR
update, the likeliest case in the feature's own motivating scenario) therefore
asks for Codeman's root as an iframe navigation. `serveLostWebviewFrame()`
returned early for `/`, so on a passwordless install the frame received Codeman's
own app shell and rendered it inside the web tab, and with a password it got a
401 in the frame. Either way no `codeman:webview-lost` message was posted, and
because the document loaded fine the load handler cleared the failed-frame panel,
so the Reload / Open in new tab affordances never appeared. Before masking the
frame's URL was the prefixed one, so a reload worked; this was a regression.

`/` is the one lost-frame path a registered route also serves, so the route
table cannot tell that reload from a real navigation. Credentials can: nothing
in Codeman frames its own root, and a sandboxed frame is opaque-origin with no
cookie and no Authorization header. `carriesAuthCredentials()` (pure, in
webview-proxy.ts) makes that test, and `/` is now admitted by the auth hook only
when it fails; a framed `/` that does carry credentials still gets the shell.
Without a password no auth hook runs at all, so the index route applies the
same test itself (`isLostWebviewRootFrame`) before rendering the shell, and the
three places that emitted the recovery page share `sendLostWebviewFramePage()`.

Tests: the password form in webview-auth-exemption (recovery page for a
credential-free framed `/`, shell with valid Basic auth, 401 with a stale cookie
or a top-level navigation), the passwordless form against a real WebServer in
webview-lost-root-frame (port 3198), and the credential predicate in
webview-proxy. All three fail without the fix. Verified against a live isolated
instance as well: a framed `GET /` with no credentials answers the 470-byte
recovery page, a top-level `GET /` and a framed one carrying a cookie answer the
shell.
