Subject: [PATCH] test(ci): run the unit suite in CI + frontend-syntax gate;
 green pre-existing test debt
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- CI: add a 'test' job running the unit suite via config/vitest.ci.config.ts. Excludes browser (Playwright/chromium) and perf tests (timing-flaky), like the existing test/mobile suite. Safe in CI: TmuxManager no-ops shell commands under VITEST (test/setup.ts).
- Add scripts/check-frontend-syntax.mjs (node --check on src/web/public/*.js), wired into the lint job — catches a class of frontend SyntaxError that passes lint today (lint globs only TS).
- Add test/security-regression.test.ts (wired Host/Origin guard, self-update CSRF, CSP/security headers, text/plain raw body, WS anti-CSWSH) + test/sse-registry-parity.test.ts (backend<->frontend SSE registry parity).
- Green pre-existing test debt surfaced by the new gate: stale 'Session not found' asserts -> 'not found' substring; drop tests for removed helpers (isError now internal; createSuccessResponse deleted); file-stream-manager: mock realpathSync + fix stale /tmp assertion; sse-subscription-filter: lifecycle events broadcast to all clients (only terminal stream filtered); session.test.ts: mkdir /tmp/test; skip one interactive-respawn test needing a real PTY (covered by respawn-controller.test.ts).
- Full non-mobile suite verified green locally (2680 passed, 12 skipped).
