test(layer-b): full Install → Configure → Open → Uninstall journey XCUITest (#73)

Closes the deferred Layer B install-drive that v2.7's smoke test
left as future work. The new test
(`testFullCatalogToInstallToDashboardJourney`) drives the full
install/uninstall pipeline end-to-end and validates 9 assertion
points along the way:

- Window surfaces under `--scarf-test-mode`
- Sidebar navigation to Projects
- Install sheet appears (URL handoff via launch arg)
- Parent-dir field accepts custom path + Continue
- Configure sheet renders + commit clicks
- Confirm Install runs the install pipeline
- Open Project advances to success view
- Project row appears in sidebar with uniquified name
- Right-click Uninstall + confirm Remove + Done removes the row

Runs in ~30s green on the dev Mac.

## What needed wiring up

**SwiftUI Menu / NSToolbarItem accessibility-bridging.** macOS
toolbar Menus don't propagate `.accessibilityIdentifier` through to
XCUITest — neither the menu trigger NOR the popup contents are
queryable by ID. Verified by tree-dump diagnostics. The test
sidesteps this entirely by routing the install URL through a new
`--scarf-test-install-url <https-url>` launch arg that calls
`TemplateURLRouter.shared.handle(scarf://install?url=...)` at App
init, gated on `TestModeFlags.shared.isTestMode`. Production
launches (no flag) untouched.

**Accessibility IDs added** on the new install/uninstall path:
- `templateConfig.commitButton`, `templateConfig.cancelButton`
- `projects.row.<name>`, `sidebar.section.<rawValue>`
- `projects.contextMenu.uninstallTemplate`
- `templateUninstall.confirmRemove`
- `templateInstall.success.openProject`
- `templateUninstall.success.done`

**Sandboxed-runner caveat.** The XCUITest runner's `/tmp` is
sandbox-protected (createDirectory throws EPERM); we use
`NSTemporaryDirectory()` which resolves to the runner's container
tmp (`~/Library/Containers/com.scarfUITests.xctrunner/Data/tmp/`),
which the unsandboxed Scarf app can read since it has full disk
access.

## Known cohabitation hazard (pre-existing uninstaller bug)

If the dev Mac already has a project from the same template
installed, the install pipeline uniquifies the new project's name
("HackerNews Daily Digest 2") but BOTH projects' cron jobs get
registered under the same `[tmpl:awizemann/hackernews-digest] Daily
HN digest` name. `ProjectTemplateUninstaller.loadUninstallPlan`
resolves cron jobs to remove by NAME and can target the wrong
project's job. The Layer B test surfaces this — manifests as: test
passes, the dev's real project's cron job disappears.

**Fix (separate work):** store cron-job IDs in
`<project>/.scarf/template.lock.json` at install time and resolve
by ID at uninstall time. Until then, the test docstring warns
about cohabitation; recovery is `hermes cron create` to recreate
the lost job.
